When someone asks.."What do you do, Debbie?" I often respond... "Anything from business cards to billboards".
I have been working since 1989 in various types of graphic design positions. In 1995 I felt a strong desire to step out on my own and start a business in graphics - I started at that time taking in outside jobs but not quitting my “day job”.
My last job was in a sign shop. Not long after being hired for that design position I noticed how frequently business owners would come in, with hardly anything for me to work with - most times they didn't even have a business card! We had to start from scratch and try to develop them a logo quickly that could be used on the signs that they needed "yesterday". I began to wonder who was out there to help these new business owners develop their logos, business cards, brochures, websites,etc... and I soon found out that many times people are forced to go from one proprietor to another to acquire all the products they needed to properly market their business. Not knowing who was going to handle their sensitive marketing material. There might be an experienced designer on staff, there might not. That’s where I saw my dream of having my own business in Graphic Design becoming a reality. I wanted to help!

In 2004 my “side” graphic work was becoming very demanding on my time and I had to make a decision on what to do... I quit my “day job” and followed my dream!
I am where I am today because business owners like yourself trusted me with their marketing ideas. I always strive to create my designs as if looking through the eyes of the consumers that YOU are trying to reach - I ask myself...”What information would I be looking for in your brochure?”... “What catches my eye when looking at your phone book ad?”...”What vehicle lettering would make your business stand out to me as I am driving down the road?”... “How would I like to navigate through your website?”.... looking through the eyes of the consumer works!

I grew up in a family owned grocery business. My dad always said “The customer is ALWAYS right!”. I have heard from people that I make them feel like they are my only client... and with a statement like that - I know I’m doing just what my dad taught me to do years ago. Thanks Dad! And also thanks for letting me create your signs for you in the store when I was a teen...You saw my talent way back then!

With LivingStone Graphics you have one stop to make, one person to talk to - one phone call - one email address... I'll take of you! Every design that I create will be to your specs - your logo will stay the same on all your printed material - you won't see poor quality production coming from me. I set the standards, and know this - my standards are high! You can go from concept to production - or stop somewhere in between - I’ll take it as far as you want!

Please don't let the miles that may be between us hinder you from allowing me to work for you... if you have a phone and the internet we can do the work you need done very quickly and relatively painless! :)

And you are still asking...“What do you do, Debbie?” my response to you would be... “Everything from Business Cards to Billboards!”
