Like what you see? These are just a few of my creations - I have had the pleasure of working with some great small business owners - the previous images are just a few of my designs - but I feel give you an idea of my design style.
Are you looking to take your small business one step further? Research has shown consistency in brand imaging will create increased customer recognition. Obtain an attractive logo - you will gain the attention of others, show increased pride in your product to sell, and enable yourself to reach new markets. Today, social networking is everything!
Use your new logo on facebook, twitter, etsy, etc. You will also be able to use your logo on business cards, postcards, T-shirts, and essentially any other item you wish to create!
When creating a logo the most important thing to keep in mind - KEEP IT SIMPLE! You will want to use your logo over across a variety of mediums. Sometimes too much really IS too much. You will want to be able to use a design that can work in a variety of circumstances - something that is universal. Freestanding logos work best - you may choose to add a border such as a circle or a square. Remember though, what you see on the computer screen is what will print. So, by adding this border, you will end up with a circle or squared logo. Small details and tiny embellishments can get lost in smaller print jobs.
As a designer (and hopefully your designer), I can offer plenty of recommendations. However, you, the customer, have the final say. When creating a logo, I take your thoughts into consideration, and add my own flair and design elements. Because you are the customer, I will do as you wish, but realize that in not taking my recommendation, you are responsible for the final image. Once a logo is finalized, my logo will be removed from the creation - once my watermark is removed (after final logo is agreed upon), it is considered final, and therefore sale is final. If you should require further edits, your image may be subject to additional charges.
All logos are created at 300 dpi in RGB unless otherwise requested by the customer. Final files will be sent to you in jpeg format *unless otherwise requested by the customer*.
I look forward to working with you - logo creation is my favorite thing to do in terms of design work. As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of creating a unique look - something that will stick with your business for years to come.
I also offer digital files built off logo creation such as:

When I stop and think about my favorite part of design and what I enjoy most - it is without hesitation that I think of - the creative use of fonts/color and words. I always have joked that my dream job would be to work for Hallmark - and it still is. To be able to write greeting cards would be the highlight of my professional career. However, in the meantime, I have started creating prints - prints with meaning. More than a quote, more than a feeling, it's a definition....a definition of what's important to you. I've done a few pieces custom for clients, but last night, in a funk after feeling let down, I sat and brainstormed all of the pieces of what makes me who I am. I coupled those thoughts with colors that reflect me as a person and put together a pretty awesome print. The birth of "Speak." was born last night. 
Now that I've got your attention - because really --- anytime you see the word Boobs it makes you stop and read, right? 
Nothing stops my breath more than realizing my kids are getting older. This is my oldest - who will be turning 6 in late June. I still remember the day Mackenzie was born - I tell her each night, she was my dream come true - she is what I wished for on wishing stars. She is the spitting image of my husband in every way! So, as a Kindergartner, having a first big birthday party with school friends is a BIG deal. Like every little girl, she wants to have a "sleepover" party - I negotiated a PJ party - where all girls go home at 8pm. Photocards are such fun for me - I LOVE to use them as a keepsake - who doesn't LOVE to see a child's face and watch them grow from year to year. So often I design for others - invitations, prints, stationery --- people think my kids have all of this great stuff and that their rooms must be amazing. They think I am a craft goddess who leads weekly crafts at home - truth - I LAUGH at this one. One of the kids in Kenzie's kindergarten class even begged me to come over and have a playdate so we could do a craft. Talk about PRESSURE! This couldn't be further from the truth. I SHOULD do more artistically with my kids...I wish I did do more of that with them, but I kind of lack the patience. Anyhow, I am off on a tangent here. I am trying to put more of an effort to create lasting and fun memories for my own kids and their invitations. I created this with the help of Kenzie - my biggest critic. She told me what to add and what to take out. I need to thank my friend, Jennifer Quinn, with Riley Jolie Photography for taking this beautiful picture of Kenz. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Chicagoland area. She has an amazing studio and also does on location photos for all sorts of events as well as family portraits! I also want to give credit to Zenware Designs for the adorable Slumber Party clipart.
