We invite you to get to know us, our work, and what our clients say.

 
  • To create meaningful designs through an informed creative process. At CC Design the focus goes to goals, smooth process, client communication, creative concepts, and engaging visual experiences.

  • Honesty. I believe that the best designs come out of processes that emphasize communication between the client and the designer in a timely and open manner. My design work is more effective when I gather constructive feedback and focus on the ultimate goal.

    Empathy. Design reaches people when the creator understands the audience and how they communicate. My designs meet people where they are.

    Simplicity. Good brands and visual communications programs are simple. At CC Design images and messages are direct and clear to make choices easier.

  • Logo design, visual identities, brand marketing, corporate communications, conference branding, live event brand marketing, fundraising materials, annual reports and publications, social media packages, branded web style tiles, posters, direct mail, digital publications, and much more.

  • We find it rewarding when working with mission-driven organizations in industries such as education, science, and government that understand the power of design to propel their mission and initiatives.

 
If it doesn’t exist, create it.
