A little about us... We're in the business of visual communication, which aims to elicit a particular response from a target audience. Be the media print or interactive (such as CDROMS or web design), we're experts at creating a quality experience for the viewer/end user. Our select team of specialists is here to address each client's unique goals and needs.

A little about me... I feel privileged to live in this time and place. I'm pretty darn techy, though also an artist trained in traditional design. It's an unusual combination that's garnered me many projects since 1992. I'm often sought for my stylistically wide illustration and animation skills which allow me to create consistent suites of graphics. This frees clients from existing content, which is often poor or inappropriate. I'm often brought in to redesign websites, and enjoy tying print media and CDROM presentations to them. Grounded in commercial practicality, I still endeavor to create something special, memorable, attractive and perhaps even inspiring. My interests are increasingly international. For those interested, I've summarized my background and experience into a bio.

Our intentions... We love giving clients what they want, when they want it. We love making their lives easier and earning their confidence. We avoid over booking and stretching ourselves too thin. We love developing long term friendly business relationships... why not enjoy the process? We have saavy alliances, should there be a need for support, yet we always take personal responsibility for your project, so it's always in good hands.

Before doing business... We must have signed contracts, or at least a PO (Purchase Order) or confirmation letter describing our deliveries and deadlines, and client goals. We like as many specifics as possible right up front. We don't do work on spec.

Things we appreciate... Quality, honesty, communication, and humor.

If you're new to web design, or to working with consultants on creative projects... please see our project streamliners for project tips and other helpful info. Actually, this section helps anyone get acquainted with our preferred business model.

It's with great enthusiasm that we approach new media and print. A lot of beneficial synergy can happen between the two if developed thoughtfully. Looking forward to working with you!

best,
Terry Burkes
President & Principal Designer
