Design provides a subtext that speaks as much about you, your company or service as any written word. Our job is to ensure that your design not only projects the correct impression but does so in a way that is uniquely engaging, appealing and memorable.

Bob Grimes, Creative Director

First impressions matter.

We believe the way a business presents itself speaks volumes. Your graphic identity can dramatically influence a prospective client's decision to stay or go. It can be the tipping point between you and your competition.

When there’s little else to distinguish between competing businesses, products or services, the quality of the design can often be the determining factor. How? A well-designed identity system not only communicates ideas about you and your business, it can also elicit powerful emotions and responses. From websites and marketing communications to the smallest, seemingly insignificant collateral piece, an integrated design system works in unison to instill feelings of confidence and assurance. It demonstrates an attention to detail and a standard of quality that carries over to everything you do.

And people notice. They may not always be able to articulate why, but the fact is, they do. That's why we focus our professional expertise, experience and award-winning creative talents on ensuring that the first impression you make is a positive and lasting one.

Making sure first impression isnt your last.

Businesses interface with clients and the public in a variety of ways — both large and small. Added up, the sum of those interactions can have long-lasting and beneficial consequences.

To achieve those benefits, we believe in a comprehensive, integrated approach to design that ensures your image is managed at every point along the way. It may sound complicated and expensive, but it's not. We have the experience to quickly identify critical contact points and to devise a sensible roadmap for implementation. This comprehensive approach ensures that every client interaction builds on the previous, creating a chain of positive reinforcing impressions. Managing this chain is not only critical, it's what we do best. By creating a series of well-designed, complimentary components, we can provide you with a brilliant, cohesive business image and a foundation for success.

We understand that not all businesses have the resources to implement a large-scale identity all at once. At Amara Grimes Design, we pride ourselves in building effective, integrated systems at your pace, and at your budget. We're all about fostering long-term relationships.

Give us the opportunity to analyze your business situation, and we'll show you how we can create a simple, smart and effective plan to give your customers the right impression. Not just the first time, but every time.
