Every business faces a communication imperative: establishing identity and brand to project a compelling message throughout your market. Branding, identity, and your marketing message all rest on the same foundation: market-driven graphic design. Laurel Black Design has been providing outstanding graphic support to businesses like yours since 1980, as well as illustration, copywriting, project management and promotional consultation.

Communication always begins with listening to you. As I come to understand you and your work, I become your partner by supporting your marketing objectives through stellar graphics that show the essence of what your business really is. I make sure your marketing message is integral across all media to state your value to your market with consistency, clarity and style.  

Over the years, my clients have been businesses, professionals, institutions, government agencies, and non-profits. Many of my projects have become familiar landmarks, like the logos for Jefferson Transit, Olympic Medical Center, and Jace Real Estate. Visit my web site for an in-depth look at the range of my work.

I am in the process of expanding my market area, which is why I joined Biznik.  I’m interested in collaborating with other Indies and providing more award-winning designs that build brand equity for clients throughout the Pacific Northwest -- and beyond.
