“Our organization has worked with Karen for years due to her competitive pricing, expertise, and above all, pure creative talent. I have been thoroughly impressed and pleased with her work, especially her ability to transform a series of ideas and thoughts into something visually appealing and functional. She has become our “go-to” contractor of sorts and is always at the top of our list whenever we have a new project that requires a graphic designer.”

Her Helm, by Kristin Rutkowski, Book Design
“I was so thrilled with the outcome and process of recreating my company’s brand and logo! When I went to LOMAXcreative / Karen I knew that my logo did not represent me but I could not articulate how I wanted it changed or what I wanted it to be, other than an image of a horse. I could tell from how Karen was asking questions during our initial conversations that I had made the right choice. I could not be more happy with the logo and branding, it exceeded my expectations, and was such an easy and streamlined process. I could not recommend Karen / LOMAXcreative more highly…in fact I hired her again to brand my next adventure with Race and Revolution!”
My Process
Kickoff Meeting / Research Project Mood Boards
We will have an in-depth discussion about the organization, target audience and primary competitors. Following this initial research discussion, mood boards will be created and presented.
Present Mood Boards / Initial Design Rounds
Initial project concepts and styles will be created using feedback Kickoff meeting and from the mood boards. The primary project design will dictate the needs of any secondary designs.
Designs Finalized / Final Project Design Hand-Off
After receiving feedback from multiple rounds of the initial project concepts, a primary design and any requested secondary projects will be created. Once the client approves projects, files will be sent to the client or printer, which may involve paper selection and press checks.
