More than a designer | Complete business solutions
My name is Barbara Saunders. I’m an experienced design communication professional with a
great depth and scope of skills. I’ve run my own design firm for more than 13 years. I’ve handled
projects as complex as large magazines and annual reports and ones as small as newspaper
and website ads. I’ve created video and email campaigns, run complex social media campaigns
and am well versed in web technology. I thrive in a team environment and am extremely collaborative.
Most recently, I’ve been using my design and multimedia knowledge to help small
companies with their ecommerce efforts. (See digital work samples at: http://www.slideshare.net/

As a seasoned expert, I’ve got in-depth design, branding and web expertise as well as the most
up-to-date internet marketing and social media prowess. I am also an accomplished photographer
and have created many videos. This range means that I’m able to:
• Competently create and design communication concepts that resonate effectively with
the target audiences while remaining well within stated budgets (I have a reputation
with printers for delivering excellent prepped files that run first time, every time - saving
as much as 30% on printing costs)
• Bring stability and experience to a wide range of projects from internal and external
communication materials and websites — I’ve done it all
• Effectively manage the ‘business-end’ of a communication project — having run my
own firm for more than a decade, I have a proven track record of managing multiple
projects, hitting deadlines, and managing the workflow of a team
• Write copy that motivates readers to take action
• Created trade show displays for small and large national events
• Maintain current industry trends and tools, it’s a priority
I am also a business consultant helping small businesses harness what they know to grow through the development of info produccts.
