Duneside Design brings creativity, agency level experience and years of programming to the table to help you achieve your goals for your communication projects. We strive to meet and exceed your project objectives while allowing you to keep doing what you do best. We are a local firm based in Grand Haven, Michigan dedicated to serving the community with high level design work.

How we work

We start with a meeting over the phone or face to face depending on your location to gather information on your project objectives, target audience, and tone of the project. We then write up a proposal contract stating the project deliverables, costs, and expectations. Once we receive a signed contract along with the agreed upon deposit, we get to work researching what is out there, what your competition is doing, and how we can best reach your audience. Then we begin the funs stuff: brainstorming, sketching, and developing rough concepts. After narrowing down the concepts to a few that stand out, we develop multiple designs to present. When the designs are ready we meet to present them in person or can email them depending on proximity. We let our customers mull them over and then let us know what concept they want to go with and if any edits are needed. We then work to finalize the design and send it to the printer or move it into programming. Once all is complete, we deliver the finished project and train our customers on how to implement and use the final product.

Why we do it

Our competitive pricing and high quality work allows our clients to rest assure knowing that they are receiving a great value for their investment. We are not satisfied until we know that our clients are happy. We only feel rewarded when we hear a client say "I love it."

"With experience as an art director for a busy marketing and advertising agency, a background in computer programming and engineering and a life long dream of being an artist, I am excited to combine my passion for creativity and design with my technical skill set. Please take a look at our portfolio and contact me, if we can be of service to you."
