Creative, intentional, and friendly marketing and design professionals.

We have earned a reputation for creativity, honesty, working quickly, and exceptional client communication. If that’s what you are looking for, let’s chat about collaborating.


Our Mission

Committed to bettering our world, we affirm the dignity and value of humanity, and dedicate ourselves to working with those focused on similar goals.

With a holistic approach, we aim to improve our clients’ marketing and design efforts by understanding their organization, and then structuring, clarifying, designing and sharing their key messages.

Our Core Values

We strive to achieve our mission by embracing these key concepts:

humility

joy

integrity

Our Process

The way that we approach our work has been honed by our more than 20 years of experience supporting businesses and nonprofits across three continents. Our workflows are intended to keep projects on track, clients informed, and milestones delivered on time.

Pre-engagement Steps

We vet our clients as much as we expect that they are vetting us prior to an engagement. For us, the right fit with clients is what provides the foundation for a productive, engaging, and enjoyable project. We value leaders who intellectually and emotionally commit to our collaboration.

To help explore potential relationships, we always meet with prospects before we agree to any project. Those initial conversations can take place online (Zoom), over the phone, or in person.

When You Hire Us

While no two projects are exactly the same, we have developed a process that brings creativity, structure, and efficiency to our work. We believe that this flow from onboarding and discovery, to design and development, leading to launch, and ultimately to review enables us to deliver creative marketing solutions within the limitations of timetables and budgets.

Upon Project Completion

At LBDesign, the overwhelming percentage of our clients become repeat customers. What began as a single website, becomes an ongoing engagement for the management and support of that site. What was a focused project for a simple newsletter template, becomes an email marketing strategy and implementation. We aim to work in such a way that our clients are eager to rely on us again and again to meet their additional marketing and design needs.

Open and Clear Communication

We are committed to open, clear, and regular communication. We never want our clients to wonder “Where are we with this latest task?”. We are intentional in our writing and craft our emails and update notes in such a way that even the non-technical leaders can be clear on where we are, what we are doing, and where we are heading.
