Hi CP, I figured I should put my services on here, as I have a little problem….
I'm a Creative Director and Graphic Designer and run my own boutique design agency. I'm what in industry-speak would be called "multi-disciplinary". I do everything from Branding and Strategy (logos/naming/cards etc.), Print + Digital (websites/apps/magazines/books) and Infographics and Iconography. I have a wide array of clientele….from Fortune 500 companies like Nike and IBM, magazines like Wired, down to small mom-&-pop operations who need logos and business cards.
I've spent the last decade in New York, and have a two degrees in design (including a Masters from SVA in NYC). Apart from my business, I also teach a few classes at ACAD. You can see my website at
www.porostocky.com. It has a small sampling of what me and my team have done, so if you want more, just ask.
Here's my problem……
All my existing clients are in the US or Europe. While it's always nice to have international clients, at the end of the day, business relationships are best forged face to face. I'm still fairly new (back) to Calgary, and am looking to fast-track the process a bit and develop new relationships with people here in town.
So if you, or anyone you know, fall under any of the categories below, please consider my services:
• You, or someone you know, is starting a new Company, Store, O&G venture, Restaurant, or Cultural Event and need some Creative services.
• You handle Communications or PR at an existing Company, Government Agency, or any other Institution (or know someone who does) and is looking for new vendors.
• You're looking for someone with international-level experience and perspective, but knows what Calgary is about.
• You value good design and good ideas, and understand the difference between hiring a professional and your cousin who has Photoshop.
I'm not the cheapest game in town, but I like to think you tend to get what you pay for in my line of work. I'm very fair and bring value to the table that more than multiplies your investment (most of my clients are multi-year repeats). However, I'm always open to creative solutions and money is never the driving factor in taking on a new project. I had several clients who I work for in exchange for equity…..have a new O&G startup, but don't have the capital for a branding campaign? Let's talk.
Here's my CP Incentive. To show how much I value referrals, anyone who can refer me to a new client who I end up doing business with, I'll send $100 to (or donate $100 to CP or a charity of your choice). Refer me to 10 new clients who I do business with….I'll send you $1,000. My business has been built 100% on word-of-mouth, and I like to show my appreciation.
Have any questions? Please feel free to PM me or contact me through my website.
