Bio
Steve Greer
David is an expert in branding and his team creates break through designs that connect to consumers and "pop" at retail. He knows when and how to push-back on clients in order to deliver great design. David's work is characterized by two things: 1) Quality and 2) Innovation. His team's work is worth the investment. I was always able to get to better designs, more quickly with Ocean Branding than with other gencies. I highly recommend working with David and Ocean Branding.

At Ocean we believe great brands sell products and that's how we judge the ones we create. We're not interested in being 'trendy' or winning awards - only in helping you grow your brand.
