Designing the Imagery

It is not enough to have the right words for your story. Bringing in imagery that captures its essence is how you attract your audience’s interest and curiosity so that they will dig deeper to find out more. Consistent branding makes your business or organization recognizable at first glance. 

Combining the imagery with the right words in a well designed layout on a website and other print and digital marketing materials, is the last piece of the puzzle for a well told story.

About Karen Griffin of KSGriffin Design

Karen Griffin is the owner of KSGriffin Design. Working with non-profits, tech start-ups, and small businesses, both as an employee and a freelancer, turned Karen into a jack-of-all-trades. She has experience in data management and analysis, web design, graphic design, marketing and public relations.  This has enabled her to provide a wide range of services.

Add to that experience a degree in ecology, community organizing, and participation in the performing arts. All this has given her insight into many different types of businesses, non-profits, and community issues, which she brings to the table every time she meets with a client.  

When she is not working on client work, you will find Karen taking online classes to improve her design skills and widen her horizons. She has completed California Institute of the Arts’ Graphic Design Specialization through Coursera, a five course program that covers image making, typography, history of graphic design, and brand development. Most recently she has gained her own customized Professional Certification in Graphic Design through Sessions College for Professional Design, taking classes in drawing, marketing design, graphic design, brand development, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premier Pro, and photography. On top of that, she is constantly looking out for classes on Udemy to further her skillset. You can find both recent client work and class projects in her portfolio.

Karen has always been driven by her love for stories. Whether it is the story behind a social issue or a landscape designer’s business philosophy, helping to fashion the words and imagery for those stories and then producing them for public consumption is her passion. She looks forward to helping you tell your story!
