• Founder

  Design Responsibly LLC

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  January 2004 — Present (4 years 11 months)

  Design Responsibly started after years of seeing how the design and print community interact with eachother. Printers expressing aggravation over missing fonts, RGB images, missing bleeds, low-resolution images, and other assorted print-related design issues. Designers expressing grief over print jobs costing more than quoted, of having to constantly recreate files to printer's seemingly incomprehensible instructions, and struggling with constant technical and software confusion.
  
  Mordy Golding saw a need in the community and, after seeing a particular post in a user forum by a designer expressing yet another "issue" with printers, he took action.
  
  Services include consulting, training, support, and resources for graphic design professionals and publishing organizations.
