Hey, I’m Sam. Are you a Lutheran church, organization or business owner who needs to make your web site look like it belongs in this century? (Or perhaps you suffer from logo shame?) I help Lutherans serve their neighbors through smart, strategic web and graphic design that works.
By trade, I’m a registered graphic designer [rgd]. By grace, I’m baptized into Christ.
Born and raised Lutheran, the Lutheran church and her members are very important to me. That’s why I'm using my talents and gifts to serve you, my brothers and sisters in Christ. From Lutheran churches who proclaim the Gospel every week, to Lutherans who are serving their neighbors through their own businesses or organizations, I want to help you with your graphic and web design needs. And I have over twenty years experience working in the graphic design industry. That means the communication materials I design for you will be clear, accurate and uniquely persuasive. Why? Because, like you, I have a deep appreciation of the Lutheran faith and an obligation, by vocation, to serve my family, my church, and my community to the best of my abilities.
I partner with Lutheran churches and organizations to design the whole spectrum of communication services:
We all want projects to run smoothly with no frustrations or surprises on either side. That’s why we start out on a fact-finding mission together: I ask you questions, make notes, ask more questions, and make a few more notes. Hopefully, this is over coffee, or some other drink of choice because this is the hardest part— as far as you’re concerned, that is. After that, your role looks more like smooth sailing and relaxation, maybe popcorn and a movie, mimosas at the pool, whatever floats your boat. (For me, life gets a bit more creative and technical and involves hunkering down in my office. Much less glamorous.) I keep you in the loop and show you the fun stuff. You tell me what you like. Then, we refine, polish, and finally print or publish, depending on your project.
If you want to see our time together in neat phases, generally there are four:
Whether it’s the latest industry podcast, conference, or class, I’m always plugged in to stay on top of design trends, digital advances, and new marketing strategies. (To learn more about what graphic design can do for your business, please visit the design organizations below.)
The same goes for Christianity: I am grateful to have been fed and strengthened over the years by diving deeper into theology, listening, learning, and most importantly, receiving the gifts Jesus hands out every Sunday. (To learn more about what Jesus has done for you, visit the Lutheran links below.)
