Gary Belniak’s Summary

I have worked in the graphic design/advertising industry since 1984 when I started laying out and typesetting college text books for a local book publisher. From 1985 to 2000 I worked as a designer, production person and ultimately production manager for a medium-sized agency in Chicago's north suburbs. I became acquainted with web design and HTML programming in 1997 and welcomed this as a great opportunity.

In 2001, I opened Belniak Media, Inc. which is a full-service graphic design, web development and marketing company located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. The company has shown steady growth since its inception. We specialize in all areas of web development including advanced commerce applications, SEO and hosting, print design, catalog production and PR/marketing. We also have a developed a niche in branding and marketing new and entrepreneurial endeavors.

Additionally, I have worked as a professional musician and producer since the 1970s and continue to perform, write, produce and record select artists.
