▐▓▒░ Grayce Clark ░▒▓▌’s Summary

I have successfully owned and operated grayCeworks small business solutions, a computer, business services, and graphic design consultancy company, since 1998.

I have also worked with other companies prior to, and in addition to, owning my own business. Each has provided experience and skills that have enabled me to provide outstanding service to past and current clients.

My attention to detail, along with my ability to conceive and implement projects in several areas of expertise, has helped me to develop a portfolio that includes well known companies such as Arby’s Corporation, as well as small local businesses like VTG Development Corp. In 2005, I moved my business from Phoenix, Arizona to Atlanta, Georgia, and it has been steadily growing ever since.
