Danielle Baird’s Summary

Danielle Baird Design is a graphic design firm that helps small businesses and non-profit organizations develop cohesive, professional + beautiful marketing materials.

I enjoy working in close collaboration with my clients. I believe that the more I know about a client and their business, the better I can serve them.

My journalism background provides me with interviewing and research skills, which is crucial in the first step of my process: information gathering. Next, I review design roughs with my client and we will refine the work from here in a series of revisions. Once everyone is happy, we send the files to press, launch the website, send the e-mail blast, etc. It’s pretty simple.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with non-profit groups and sole proprietors, as well as a major league baseball team and a Fortune 500 company.
