Brands are about feelings, and feelings are complicated. Successful brands hold great emotional meaning for people and that’s what makes that brand loved and respected. I bring these emotions to life across print, packaging, advertising, and the world wide web. This will take communication, a couple all-nighters, and a strong promise to think outside the box.

what clients are saying.
“Doug has done multiple design projects for me over the past 7 months. He’s great at channeling my raw ideas and turning them into creative, well-thought-out, finished pieces. Great job, Doug! Keep up the good work.”
-Chris Kirby
Founder, Ithaca Hummus
“Doug is an extremely talented designer whose professionalism, patience, attention to detail, and responsiveness is second to none. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for premium quality, 360 creative solutions. Aside from being excellent at what he does, on a personal level, Doug is a pleasure to work with and is always at hand to help out. He created a brand for us that we could have only dreamt of. Doug made our job of launching our brand so much more enjoyable and a lot easier than what it would have been had we not been introduced!”
-Kate Scott
Marketing Manager, HoloToyz
“When we set out to launch our own new real estate title company brand, we had technical experience in a stuffy and traditional industry, with a mindset to do something fresh and new. I think to say that Doug Ahern hit it out of the park for us is an understatement. Doug’s own client-facing literature says “discover. design. apply.” Doug did exactly that and more during our creative process. Along the way, I could see that Doug believed and cared about our brand the same way that we did. At the end of the day, we were left with a logo and a brand identity that speaks to the core of who we are and makes us proud. We can’t thank Doug enough!”
-David Stamm
Principal, Lighthouse Title
