What is Katy Dwyer Design?
IT'S MORE THAN JUST GRAPHIC DESIGN
With over 10 years of professional experience in design firms and marketing departments, I've worked with a wide range of companies from local not-for-profit organizations to international corporations. I provide a complete marketing solution: design, copywriting, photography, illustration, programming, and printing. No matter how big or small your project, I ensure it's delivered on time, within budget, and above expectations.
How does this work?
MY PHILOSOPHY AND PROCESS
Each new project for me is a chance to solve a problem. How do you
(the client) attract the attention of the consumers you want, projecting
an image you believe in, while upholding the integrity of your brand?
Are you trying to be insightful? Witty? Emotional? Truthful? Transparent?
Modern? Traditional? Hopeful? Hilarious? Provocative? I believe that for
every project, there is a right equation that will satisfy, excite, and
produce results.
My philosophy is simple. It's to be collaborative, open, and communicative
– both with my clients and my colleagues. I value reactions and feedback.
I work through the puzzle from as many angles as I can. I strive for honest
dialogue between myself and my clients. I aim to create superior, successful,
problem-solving design.
The process always starts with a meeting or a phone call (or fill out a
website questionnaire or
logo questionnaire
and email it to me to get started).
It's my job to find out as much about your needs and situation in the marketplace
as I can. Then the design begins, and I'll lead you through the progression with
open communication and transparency. You'll see the progress, and there will
be plenty of opportunity for your input and suggestions. In the end, you'll
have a final product that you can be proud of, and will reflect your standards,
as well as mine.

A WORD ABOUT PRICING
Every project is unique, and has it's own set of deliverables. In order to provide you with the best possible solution for your goals, I embrace open communication throughout the design process. I welcome your suggestions and feedback. Without them, your final product would not be a reflection of the personality of your company. I don't approach every project with the same strategy, and therefore, I don't have a predetermined 'menu of pricing'. With the information you provide me upfront, I will put together a project quote specific to your needs. Once you receive the quote, I'm happy to review the components with you, and adjust the parameters and deliverables as is necessary for your budget. To get started on a project quote, either fill out this short contact form or download a website worksheet or logo worksheet.
