Boyd Design Studio LLC

• Owner

  • 2003 - Present

  In 2001, I became aware of that many small- to medium-sized businesses needed assistance in bridging the gap between their creative objectives and the fast-changing use of technology. At the same time, there was a movement for companies to outsource these types of services. So in 2002, I created a freelance firm to meet this need. I found a ‘niche’ for my business in explaining, designing and implementing technologies that small and medium-sized business owners wnvisioned but did not quite understand. I helped them identify their needs, define their goals, formulate a plan, and execute the project. I collaborated with a variety of artists and technicians for a variety of domestic and international clients. I managed the team resources and client relationships as well as providing graphic and website design, web development, video production and post-production (motion graphics and animation) services.
