Design Buddy

Hello, my name is Derek Kimball. I'm a 40 year old independent graphic designer specializing in brand identity services. Over the last 13 years I've helped hundreds of clients establish a stronger brand presence through better design and visual messaging. My clients range from small startups and entrepreneurs to industry leading companies and organizations.

So how do you acquire a quality logo? With the various designers and logo service providers available to you, it can be understandably difficult knowing where to turn. For starters, I specialize in logo creation and brand identity.

This has allowed me to hone my craft over the past 15 years (12 years in business); having developed hundreds of logos for a wide range of businesses, brands, organizations and entrepreneurs from a variety of industries.So while many designers tend to offer a wider range of services, I feel my specializing allows me to offer a more refined and established service to my clients.

A "brand" is not a logo, an identity or product. A brand is simply how your business, product or idea makes people feel. And part of that perception is your visual messaging. That's where I can help. Whether you're a new start-up looking to establish a cohesive brand identity, or an established business wanting to revamp your existing visual message; investing in good design can make the difference between attracting new customers or blending in.

Derek was wonderful to work with. He was very patient in working with us, very professional, easy to work with and very responsive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for design services! Derek is an artistic and gifted professional who can assist any business in developing an identity.

Depending on my schedule and complexity of project, timeframes can range from a couple weeks to a few. Please let me know if you have a set budget range. Good design takes time, so please understand that with lower budgets comes less time investment. Do you have specific requirements for the design, or would I able to do what I feel works best?
