About DB+D
Separating myself–and you–from the pack.
With a 25-year career spanning branding, design, copywriting and marketing for in-house teams and agencies, I built this unique “agency of one” to give small businesses and nonprofits the power of professional branding and design with lower rates, faster turnaround times and fewer headaches than traditional agencies or freelancers could deliver.
Why do clients just like you hire me?
Lower Rates
Without expensive office space, payroll, or the need to bring several people to every meeting, my rates are typically 50-70% lower than an agency for the same services.
Faster Turnaround
You’ll enjoy quicker responses and shorter timelines because you’re not dealing with multiple people, balancing multiple schedules, or competing with several clients.
Clearer Communication
I don’t need separate role players on your project, so you always communicate directly with me, maintaining consistency and clarity while minimizing miscommunication and confusion.
Priority Attention
I purposefully limit simultaneous client engagements so you get my full attention, and you’re never left waiting for a response or wondering if you’re my most important client. (p.s. You are!)
