Keep Your Image Consistent
Stay true to your business goals and keep your image consistent across all platforms — website, articles, social media content, signage, photography, vehicle decoration, uniforms, architecture, interior decoration, presentations, trade show booths and printed materials.

/ SUZANNE MARSHALL, CREATIVE & TECHNICAL DESIGNER
After receiving a graphic design degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, I was rapidly promoted from production artist to graphic designer and art director. I mastered training programs for executive leadership and business management.
I am honored to have worked as a designer and art director on staff for: a government contractor, university, in-house corporate design department and two advertising agencies.
In 2000, I left my corporate job and started Whale Works Design, harnessing my artistic flair, technical expertise and business executive training.
Whether you require a small design project or a large scale identity system, let’s see if I am a good match for your vision.
