Arielle Walrath’s Summary
I aim to help each of my clients create and maintain a strong, unique, and engaging brand—one that is fresh and relevant and that is reinforced through every message, every interaction with customers and the public, and every product or service produced.
I've worked in the design field for over 12 years, and have come to know a great deal about a wide variety of businesses and industries. As an independent contractor, most of my clients are small- and medium-sized businesses and non-profit organizations.
I believe design is much more than making things look good; I work to first help clients hone their message and identify their audience, and then use the visual language of layout, color, style, type and imagery to most effectively get their message across.
