Doug Muise Design

Doug Muise’s Summary

Good design cuts through the clutter, accentuates style, and delivers a compelling and memorable story. (Sometimes it helps if the person telling that story is wearing a really cool hat.)

I have 15+ years of delivering creative solutions for Fortune 500s, start-ups, and small businesses, including: web site & identity design, art direction for advertising, and print collateral design.

I’m passionate about the ability of good design to communicate complex ideas in a simple way. My designs are born of traditional training combined with digital experience and online expertise. I can understand your brand, your message, and your goals and translate them to a unique design that engages your audience. Need more convincing?

Doug Muise’s Specialties:

I create logos, brand identities, web sites, advertising campaigns, marketing collateral, posters, and even some really bitchin' email direct marketing. I am also very tall, which occasionally makes people look up to me and be more inclined to hear my point of view. Occasionally.
