“I don’t know where to start.” I remember laying on the floor in my studio tossing up a small spongy basketball in the air saying that exact phrase to myself. The idea of taking all my design interests, past work, my story and condensing them so they could be easily understood was overwhelming. Then, as I tossed the ball back in the air, I asked myself, “who was I, who did I want to be and why?” and that’s when it all started to become clear. Now, today, clients hire me to design logos, marketing collateral and packaging for their businesses that tell their story and connect with their audience.
Hi there, I’m Ann Marie Catabia. I’m a freelance graphic designer and illustrator of more than 15 years from Massachusetts. I also love basketball and still play to this day, as well as coach at the local YMCA.
If you’re just starting out, not sure what you need and feel confused, or have been in business for a while but just don’t have the tools to do design work yourself, I’d love to help.
Here’s the thing, you don’t just need a logo or marketing materials.
We need to tell your story. Telling your story and why, is what connects your business and products to your audience.
Your logo, packaging, marketing collateral, etc, are all touch points to your business and story that your audience interacts with. From those interactions, trust, and loyalty are built because they believe in your story and your mission.
When working with me, we dive into your story in order to create thoughtful design solutions that reflect who you are and why customers should choose you.
Having uncertainty around what your logo should look like, maybe you’re not sure where to start, or how your company should be represented? No worries, I help navigate and bring clarity to the project resulting in focused design solutions that evoke emotion and make your company stand out.
Communication is key when we work together. I believe in creating an environment where questions can be asked and answered, steps are clearly laid out, and responses are done in a timely manner.
Hearing my client’s story is one of my favorite parts of the process because their eyes light up when they tell it. I hope I get the opportunity to hear yours!
