About
My name is Melissa, and I am the owner of a small marketing and design studio in Scottsdale, AZ. I was born and raised in the midwest and made the move four years ago to the dusty southwest. I enjoy all things crafty, home improvement projects (I just learned how to replace my bathroom sink!), reading, lifting weights and my love above all, design. Since moving to Arizona, I have been concentrating on building my small design and marketing company, Strong Design Studios.
At Strong Design Studios we specialize in helping small businesses look big. We believe in the power of professional design to instill trust and reliability in the minds of small business’ customers, which ultimately translates to more sales. We pride ourselves in our superior attention to our customers’ needs, efficient turnaround times and affordable rates. For complete information, please see our website at www.strongdesignstudios.com
» ABOUT STRONG DESIGN STUDIOS
We believe in small businesses—we are one ourselves! We believe a better product, superior knowledge, more personal service and sometimes a lower price can often be found through a small business. And we believe these businesses deserve every right to present themselves as professionally as those ten times their size. So whether you are a solopreneur or a shop of twenty, we can help your marketing efforts look their best for an affordable rate.
We base our business on five tenets that ensure the strongest solutions for your project: timeliness, responsibility, loyalty, communication and organization. Our Midwestern “get it done” work ethic means that you won’t be waiting for weeks or months to see progress on your project. We tend to be workaholics, we play well with others, we’re good communicators (verbally and, of course, visually) and we’re incredibly organized to keep your project on track and on time.
We believe in the power of your brand.
At Strong Design Studios, we want to build a strong, coordinated an professional brand that makes your small business look big. You may be asking “What is a brand?” Well, a brand is the set of impressions and expectations a customer develops over time about your business as a result of the interactions with your organization and its products, services and communications. Success is found in consistency. You must provide a consistent experience for your customers in both the product and service you provide for them, the interaction you have with them, and the visual representation of your business to them in your marketing, communications and decor.
We believe in planning and efficiency.
At Strong Design Studios, we try to think through the design projects our clients bring to us before we begin our work. By thinking ahead we can help make the piece as effective as possible for the best price possible for you. We as questions like, how do we intend to have this piece printed, and can this piece multi-task? This way we don’t end up wasting time and money on an ineffectively designed piece. We believe the strongest designs require just as much thought and preparation time as it they do time designing the piece. It seems the old saying is right: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
We believe in achieving your business goals.
In a world where words don’t mean much anymore—ours do. We give our word that when you hire Strong Design Studios it will be as if you have hired a new employee. We take on your deadlines and communication burdens as if we are one of your own. We want to work with your mission, not against it, and we believe that our client relationships come with great responsibility to be true to our clients’ brands. Our mission is to communicate YOUR mission. Clearly.
We believe great design should be affordable.
Great design and branding is an investment, but it shouldn’t break your bank. If you compare our pricing to other design firms, we believe that you will find Strong Design Studios’ pricing is incredibly affordable. We believe in providing professional, boutique-caliber design at an completely affordable price.
