  • Business Plan

    The first year we operated showed signs of growth but quickly turned with COVID-19. We started in December 2019 and by March 2020, grew our company to nearly 15. We were unable to keep most of our staff because of loss of income and had to let people go. With just five people, we have learned a lot this year and are committed to growing the company and expand. We will be looking at applying for grants and government contracts to get some cushion going. We still will leverage networking through connections via family and friends letting them know we are open to serve and marketing our services via social media and email marketing. We don’t make promises we can’t keep but we promise that as long as we are in existence we are committed to bringing great design to those in need and one day become a model graphic design firm other startups can be inspired by. We are starting out as a graphic design agency and want to branch into different units with a more community centered focus that will inspire others to become graphic designers. The other branches we want to expand into is become a foundation where we can get sponsors to fund scholarships for the next generation of young people, especially of color, who aspire to work in the design industry. We also want to expand as an academy where we open up classes, webinar, TED talk-type sessions that grant access to young people and adults the opportunity to gain valuable skills in graphic design and motivation to do so. With those expansions, it is our aim to earn revenue so that we can give back to the community who needs it most. We seek support becoming the village those who want to break into design so desperately are limited from and need access to.

  • Self Identified Competition

    Merrick Towle and HZDG It starts with our simple tag line: “we know design, we know life.” We believe in challenging the norms of design and approach design differently. We approach design by listening to our clients, then create designs that captivate audiences and resonate messaging for our clients, resulting in exceptional branding. We are a startup graphic design firm that’s been through rough and challenging my times, starting from scratch and with barely nothing. We’ve met criticism and cynicism from family and close friends but in spite of that we don’t give up, it actually fuels us to keep going proving our worth, our works value. We are looking to turn heads not just by designing but also focusing on creating and building relationships with the communities we serve. We won’t just design for creativity sake, we want to seek out other next generation designers to build their potential and enable them to be all they can be in the now and future so that communities can benefit from their potential. We have so much as startup entrepreneurs to learn and we want other designers to learn from us and go into the world to shape the design world that it can be. We don’t want to be a firm known for the work we do but for the community of graphic designers we develop.
