If you know me, you know I’m probably the last person to toot my own horn. So, the idea of writing a piece about why you should hire Tastebuds for your design and digital marketing needs was just that — an idea — until today.

As we near the end of 2024, I’ve realized that simply talking about the “services provided” — like design, content development, and marketing — doesn’t fully capture the scope of what I offer. My portfolio highlights specific examples, but there’s more to the story. As one small business owner to another, here’s what you should know about Tastebuds and why it matters.

Proven Trust & Confidence

This isn’t just a cliché. As mentioned in About Tastebuds, the trust and confidence my clients place in me is something I take real pride in. If you browse through featured work in my Portfolio, you’ll see a line at the top of each project that reads “Client since…” This simple detail serves as a baseline indicator of the kind of experience you can expect when working with Tastebuds.

Reliability — In Their Own Words

Many of my clients have shared their experiences working with Tastebuds through Google reviews, LinkedIn recommendations, and other platforms — with consistent five-star ratings. I’m grateful for their feedback and the trust they’ve placed in me.

Responsive, Accessible, and Flexible

There are times when it’s beneficial to bring in other talented professionals or additional production help to meet tight deadlines. But as a client, your primary point of contact will always be me — from consultation through project completion. I’m also available 24/7 to help resolve unforeseen issues. Many clients prefer to brainstorm or strategize after “normal” hours (nights & weekends), when they have the time and mental space to reflect. I get it — and I’m there when they need me, whether it’s to advise, brainstorm, or just listen.

Big Picture Thinking, Delivering
Multi-level Solutions for Small Business

From concept to execution, Tastebuds delivers impactful solutions for small businesses. Creative thinking drives the production of print, digital, audio, and video media, used across multiple platforms. This results in stronger branding, smarter marketing strategies, and the tools businesses need to succeed.

I began my career just as the internet was evolving, and much of my early work was print-based — brochures, collateral, and other tangible materials. Now, much of my work is digital, but my print experience continues to be valuable for clients who still need high-quality physical materials.

My journey from analog to digital has sharpened my visual design skills and expanded my toolbox to include content writing. Years of experience in publishing and side ventures have given me a deep understanding of how design connects to content, SEO, and digital marketing. For small business owners — who may lack the budget or bandwidth for a full team of specialists — Tastebuds offers the unique ability to integrate these elements seamlessly. Given the chance, I’m confident I can show you the value of what we offer.

If you haven’t already, I invite you to review my portfolio and see how Tastebuds’ interdisciplinary approach can work for you.
