Oh no! You are using a pretty out-of-date browser (Internet Explorer 6 - whoops!) and missing out on some awesomeness. It's okay, we recommend you download and install Firefox and come back for the fun (and other websites you've been visiting will look better too)! Thanks ~mgmt.
About Us...hmmm...how to capture the personality of a firm comprised of extremely creative and multi-faceted people? That’s pretty hard to do.
If Optimum Design & Consulting were a kid in your high school, we could be the cool kid in the shades and the perfectly-worn in jeans who causes eyes to follow him wherever he goes. We could be the uptight perfectionist who makes sure to safeguard her 4.0 at all costs and is voted Most Likely to Succeed by the Yearbook Committee. We could be the drama star who can already own the stage and hold the audience spellbound by age 16. The athlete whose innate ability will send him to the Majors and put his home town on the map. And the mysterious girl with enough poise create her own fashion style and whose expression belies a lot going on under the surface.
In our personal lives we are improv comediennes, die-hard Mets fans, chronic bloggers, actresses, Fête Masters, intrepid travelers, heart-and-soul volunteers, swing dance competitors, community organizers, and gourmet cooks. We have lived in about a dozen countries and speak multiple languages. What we bring to the office are our different points of view, our various perspectives, and our unique ways of communicating our varied experiences. An array of hand-picked ingredients for any recipe you may have in mind.
We love to collaborate, working with our clients to bring their ideas and visions to life, either on paper or online. And we’ve been doing it for almost 20 years. No matter who you are, or what you have in mind, if you can think of it, we can create it for you. And when we’re done midwifing your website, your magazine, your marketing kit, your 10-year anniversary logo, we can help you get it into the hands of your prospects. We never start a piece without understanding why you asked for it. What is your target market? What are you trying to communicate? What are your competitors already saying? What makes you different?
And that’s who we are. We’re your team. We’re Optimum Design & Consulting. Where expectation meets experience.
Well now that you’re here you might as well take a look at our body of work.
I can’t imagine a more eclectic selection of projects than what we’ve been asked to do over the past 17 years... everything from labels for gourmet bottled water for dogs and cats, to a giant functional wheel of fortune for a trade show. We love the uniqueness and variety of our clients, it makes no two days alike and keeps us on our toes!
We are equally at home helping small businesses establish their identity and creatively make their mark on the world as we are working within existing branding guidelines to produce memorable work for Fortune 100s. And we love the challenge of collaborating with start-ups to create an identity for their vision.
Please enjoy the selection of work below. Our designers have mastered a variety of styles, from urban to elegant, from edgy to classic. If you’d like to see more of any one category please let us know.
We’ve learned a lot in our almost 20 years of business, and nothing makes us happier than sharing what we’ve learned in hopes that other designers and/or business owners can avoid some of the pitfalls we struggled with and have an easier time!
Here are some of the resources we have available:
Resources for Designers
- Starting Your Own Business
Resources for Small Business Owners
- Evolution of a Logo
- Integration of Corporate ID
Please feel free to give us a call 24/7!
Okay, speaking realistically we might not be here if you call at 3am. But you never know, we might be on deadline and very greatful for a needed break!
You can leave us a voicemail, send an e-mail, or slip a note under our door at any time of the day or night. And don’t worry about bothering us if you just want to talk through some ideas you may have... our estimates are free and we enjoy collaborating with our clients on design solutions that fit their budgets and needs. We look forward to hearing from you!
