Sandy Ketcham’s Summary

For the last 20 years I have been writing and designing print and electronic documents, including brochures, newsletters, professional resumes, newspaper articles, booklets, etc. Ten years ago I began designing and writing for websites. My strength lies in my ability to help clients tell their stories in words and images.

I help my clients find the things about themselves that speak to their clients -- helping them project the image that best represents who they are and what they do, always keeping their persona consistent with their industry's standards.

I have worked for large corporations, including General Motors and Borg-Warner, and for one-person home-based businesses. I am at home stepping in at any point in a project -- as the writer, the designer or both.

Some of my clients have included Cog Hill Golf Course, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, Hinsdale Hospital, St. Anthony's Hospital and many smaller organizations, including travel agencies, attorneys, accounting firms and research firms.
