If you’re short on time, don’t worry. You’re just like most of our
clients — look for a complete listing of our capabilities on Page 9.
But I’m inviting you to get to know us a little bit better.
Bringing first-class design to the First Coast, our mission is to
harness design’s possibilities for organizations who truly want to
discover their hidden potential. Of course, you probably won’t hear
us saying it that way all too often. But we think it. A lot. Since 2001,
it has been our unique privilege to demonstrate to companies like
yours just how much design can do for business. Our very reason
for being is to put the tools of design to work on behalf of a specific,
pragmatic purpose: to help our clients differentiate, compete and
win.
In the following pages, you’ll become acquainted with our
methodology and the people responsible for it. A review of some
past projects and our client list will also give you a pretty good
picture of our capabilities.
Let’s have a conversation about where you are and where you want
to be. Together, we’ll explore the question:
What can design do for you?

4. Design can
unify
A clearly-defined brand plan, a
precise creative strategy or even
a carefully-nuanced positioning
statement helps consolidate focus
and resources. A consistent tone
and aesthetic ensures all impressions
and interactions work to build one
singular brand and garner the same
piece of mind share.
5. Design can
transform
A new logo, an updated web site, a
new name or tagline — all may be the
visible outcomes of a design project.
But transformation need not stop at
the visual. Even a slight shift in how
you’re perceiving your company and
your targets can invigorate the entire
enterprise and help spearhead a new
corporate destiny.
6. Design can
motivate
From external targets such as
prospects, current clients and
investors to internal targets like
employees, the right messaging
strategy executed to the letter
(visuals, type and copy) works to
create a unique emotional set of
expectations. The bolder the promise
and the more faithfully it’s kept, the
stronger the brand.
7. Design can
inspire
In addition to providing
compelling imagery and concepts,
often the design process itself
becomes the catalyst to new
efficiencies, new initiatives, new
markets and new revenues. Our
clients inspire us to do our best
work. Our aim with our work is to
return that noble favor.

Via extensive Q&A, strategic analysis and competitive benchmarking,
discover including both client-provided inspiration, as well as our own, we collaborate
to achieve a set of business objectives and communications criteria.
Equipped with an approved strategy and your project parameters, the
design creative explorations can begin with all energies directed in their proper
direction. From a field of rough sketches or computer comps, the client
selects one to three for further development.
Typically, a consensus builds around one of the executions and only a few
revisions are required to ensure the process hasn’t deviated from your
refine strategic marching orders. When appropriate, we may suggest research
or user testing to bolster the success of a campaign or roll out.
Here, we execute to your specifications with an emphasis on both quality of
produce workmanship and timeliness of delivery. Rigorous testing, especially on the

ask: what’s working, what could have been better, what have we learned,
what’s next?
