That’s a pretty bold statement, but it’s true! So many companies think that if they pay more for something it’s better. But I couldn’t disagree more! Sure, at an agency you’ll have lots of people working for you at $200 an hour. But does that mean you’re getting better work than I can do for you? That’s not guaranteed. And what about those companies that are just one person or who have advertising needs without the giant budget? Everyone has to advertise, that’s a reality. But you don’t have to spend all of your profits to get your name out there. Just call Mighty Mouse, small yet mighty!
I’m a freelance Graphic Designer. who’s been at it for over 30 years. Heck, I can do some of this stuff in my sleep…just kidding. But I do love it and am passionate about delivering work that makes my clients look and sound great! By saying I’m a freelancer, that means is I work independently of a large staff with the overhead of an office and salaries and benefits, etc. It’s a simple way to do business. When you need work, you just call me and I do it. No waiting days to hear back from your account rep.
But don’t think I work alone. No one should. We all have gifts and talents and I focus on being a good graphic designer, who designs not just logos, but has the ability to add design to anything you need. I have a whole team of associates I enjoy partnering with. One is Valerie Bickley, a very high-level, concept-driven copy writer. She and I have worked as a team for over 18 years. I also work with some very talented web developers who are great at what they do. It’s important to surround yourself with talented people who do what they do. It’s all simple and a la carte. No contracts, no retainers. Just great advertising and design at a fraction of the cost of an ad agency.
