Heather you are the Owner and CEO of O’Bryan’s Design specializing in business graphics. How important is it for a company to have graphics designed specific for them?
When it comes to Business advertising in any form, you have seconds to catch someone’s attention. So it’s up to you to make yourself different from the rest. Having a Graphic Designer on your team will give you that extra POP to get noticed, while having more time to do your other task in your business. We here at O’Bryan Designs strive in bringing our clients visions to reality. We are a company that cares about the success of your business and Business Advertising is one of the most effective way to draw your audience in. From design concept to your printed products, O’Bryan Designs is here for all your advertising needs.
What sets O’Bryan’s Design apart from other graphic companies?
The name O’Bryan Designs comes from my maiden name of O’Bryan. But a little funny story the logo I created for my business has meaning to my maiden last name as well. The circle is the O in my maiden last name and the dash-looking mark in the inside of the circle is the apostrophe that everyone would always forget in my name, so I said my name will not be forgotten. Making goals and setting them is what the process is about! Be unique!
Where does the name O’Bryan in O’Bryan’s Design come from?
I knew graphic design (or I would say “Designing”) was my thing when I was just 5yrs old! My grandmother had a Macintosh Computer (The big one …lol) and I knew at 5 how to go on and create a picture in McPaint and print my artwork, as a proud Pisces and a creative person it came naturally.
When did you know that graphic designing was your passion?
Staying present in a saturated market of graphic Designers definitely has been a challenge but it’s because there are people who are trying to stay cost effective with their business so they will either go with a cheaper designer, and we all know you get what you pay for or try to do them self’s. As said before you only have seconds to catch someone’s attention or it could be your last. O’Bryan Designs is certified and experienced in this consistently changing design world. Staying up on what’s in and what’s not is part of our daily routine. Paying attention to our clients wants and needs. We also help companies with marketing consulting to help them be self sufficient in running their own business. From design concept to print we are here for all your advertising needs.
With over 15 years in the business, how do you stay present in a saturated market of graphic designers?

The job Entailed doing graphics for EMU Student Center, Chase Bank, Subway, Starbucks, Wendy’s, EMU Bookstore and more. The work consisted of digital ads, print work, signage, promotional products, custom appeal and more.

If you could design for anyone dead or alive, who would it be? Why?
If I could design for anyone dead or alive, I would have to say Louis Vuitton would probably be an amazing experience and put my company in a bracket with a wonderful lifestyle! I can’t wait to achieve that goal! Words of affirmation are always helpful in completing your goals.
