Smart, strategic thinking meets honesty, creativity and hard work.
For over 17 years, we have helped businesses and organizations develop and grow their brand. We believe in growth through high-visibility and brand loyalty. Our goals: Building brand awareness, connecting with an audience, changing minds, and achieving results.
We are not trend seekers or chasers of fad. We are brand ambassadors that believe effective design can move the needle, bend the curve, empty shelves or fill seats.
Our brands never sleep, working for you 24/7 — generating leads, educating an audience, and getting the word out there.
our approach
We listen. No, really. We listen.
Your voice is as important to your strategy as its design, and we are here to ensure that voice is heard loud and clear. Clients may engage us at different points in any project, but our approach is always the same: discover > design > deliver. Regardless of size or scope of project, we take to design like a labrador retriever to a tennis ball.

Steve Mousourakis, President & Creative Director
As founder, creative director and team ringleader, Steve oversees and inspires every project with energy, intellect, and attention to detail. From the days of brown Macs, metal printing plates and Netscape Navigator, he has grown the company into a leading-edge creative business that clients rely on.
In addition to shaping the company’s long-term vision, his passion and in-the-trenches experience in sales, marketing and digital communications helps clients launch, grow and exceed their own boundaries. Despite making the complex seem simple, enthusiastic leadership and a strong eye for the creative, he still cannot operate a fax machine or fold a map properly.
When not thinking about design, or stressing over the proper sans serif font, you can find him traveling with his wife and 3 year old son.
Tony Valdez, Senior Designer
A multidisciplinary designer with a passion for branding, Anthony is dedicated to finding successful solutions to design challenges that are not just good, but effective.
Every element incorporated into the formation and execution of design is an opportunity to create an experience. It is this experience that Tony wakes up for each day and pursues in each project he takes on. With focus, flexibility, and the right amount of humor, there isn’t anything that lands on his disturbingly organized desk that doesn’t make him proud, grateful, and excited to call his work.
Daniel Smith, Lead Web Developer
Daniel is our resident code wrangler and is responsible for bringing our designs to the digital masses. Through the tweaking of javascript and a little black magic, Daniel engineers happiness for all of our web and interactive project clients. Never settling for good enough, if it’s on a digital device, Daniel can always find something to improve that experience.
Loving WordPress while cursing browsers like Internet Explorer, he likes making things simpler, more beautiful, and more fun to use. Using his coding skills only for good, never evil, when not solving data-intensive code problems, hacking a Worpdress plugin, or basking in the glow of a computer screen, you may find him on a Harley.
Brittany Laughlin, Designer
Brittany best likes the creating aspects of design, filling a void with a carefully crafted and functional solution. Interested in the more tactile products of the creative process—packaging and multi-page layouts—Brittany is most passionate about design that is honest, meaningful, and covered in a slab serif. She is adaptive, free-spirited, and ready for a good visual communication problem. These qualities both inspire and challenge Brittany to be a great designer and an even better person.
In her ever-shrinking free time, Brittany enjoys ice climbing, mountaineering, book-making, and attempting crossword puzzles over a great cup of coffee.
Kala Minko, Contributing Photographer
Client relationships are a big part of business and no one understands that more than Kala. She loves working with clients who share the same passion for life as she does. Her knowledge of photography combined with her passion for a fresh and innovative approaches adds value to our projects. Fascinated by stillness and simplicity, Kala’s work is inspired by the rural landscapes of her childhood. After receiving a Degree in Commercial Photography in Atlanta she migrated to the coast and settled in Savannah.
Kala’s creative services provide more of an experience than a photo session — her process is catered towards client satisfaction. Whether she is lugging her camera through some uncharted trail in the wilderness or setting up a still life in the studio, Kala is driven by the ever present need to create.
