Dorian K Graphic Design
Feb 1999 - Present (25 years 8 months)
Brand Development: Dorian has developed brands and numerous Corporate Identities for companies large and small, in all phases of the brand process from helping to develop client brand personality to creating a face for the company that successfully communicate the company promise and capabilities to its customers through a comprehensive process that gives her clients the tools to implement their brand internally.
Project Management: Dorian has extensive project management experience juggling multiple deadlines and projects for a wide range of clients and within a variety of different department structures. She under-promises and over-delivers, always.
Advertising Experience: Dorian’s experience working for one of the world’s largest PR and Advertising Agencies, Publicis, allowed her to learn the ins and outs of the marketing and PR for B2B commodities clients for such products as soybeans, cranberries, hazelnuts and retail clients such as Nestlé and Stouffer’s. Dorian also worked closely with Seattle-based Social Marketing and PR firm C+C, who specializes in Energy and Green industries. She was a key player in a Regional Emmy Award-winning marketing campaign for Puget Sound Energy (PSE) called ‘Re-Energized by Design’, an online home makeover contest promoting energy-efficient home improvements.
Manufacturing Industry Experience: Dorian was the first designer to come on board to BBR (Brown Brothers Racing), a high-end after-market machined motorcycle parts manufacturing company. She brought her branding skills to the company and developed a comprehensive brand that captured the ingenuity, innovation, quality and ‘fun factor’ that this tight-knit family business embodied. It was here where she learned how a small, precision manufacturing company runs, witnessed the challenges of process and production issues, and worked closely with the sales and marketing team to support their sales goals.
