Conceptual thinker.
Artist. Creative &
technical strategist.

See the big picture.

Why the name Whale Works? I partner with the leaders of both startups and established businesses to promote unique ideas that turn little ripples into powerful splashes, and to ensure all of the small pieces fit into the big picture.

After reviewing your current design and marketing campaigns, together we will develop a written, targeted approach to your imagery, web presence, advertising, messaging, print and social media communications — what I call the Deep Dive service.

The Free Swim service includes a brand style guidelines document as well as your design and production files. Your brand style guidelines will detail how your logo, tone, voice and messaging will be used for the specific design and marketing projects that make sense for your business.

Avoid tackling your projects one-at-a-time with a scheduled and implemented plan for all of your materials — the Open Water service. I will work with you directly, or help you get set up with a production designer that can maintain your brand guidelines and design and production files, with my guidance.

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

/ SUZANNE MARSHALL, CREATIVE & TECHNICAL DESIGNER

As a designer on staff, (with a a graphic design degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County), I was rapidly promoted from production artist to art director, received executive management and leadership training, while working with two advertising agencies, a government contractor, a university and an in-house corporate design department.

I left my corporate job and started Whale Works Design in 2000, after being unsuccessful in finding childcare that was high quality, affordable and accommodating to my work schedule and commute times.

My abstract design and creative skills allow me to objectively think outside of the box for branding and business strategy. Small design projects have led to large scale identity systems.

Work with a graphic designer that has artistic flair, technical expertise and business executive training  — give me a call, send me an email, or fill out the contact form on this site.

Let’s see if I am a good match for your vision.
