What I Do

I provide graphic design, production and marketing communications services for the technology, retail and motorsports industries.

About

For over forty years, MilneDesign has provided design, production and marketing communication services for the technology industry throughout the San Francisco bay area. I work with a network of creative talent in a virtual, collaborative environment. This flexibility allows me to provide my clients with a focused level of service that is often missing from larger agencies. I am able to react quickly to rapidly changing requirements of early stage startups or easily scale my team to meet the demands of large enterprises.

About Me

I started my career as a graphic designer at two Philadelphia area ad agencies long before computers and Adobe Creative Suite. Xacto knives and rubber cement were the tools of choice. After moving west to San Jose, I was contracted by a national automotive tool wholesaler to create an in-house communications department. I spent three years there as creative director and managed satellite art departments in St. Louis and New York.

By the early 1980s the technology boom had begun in Silicon Valley and, with a contract from National Semiconductor, I opened my studio to support the emerging electronics and computer industries.

My Philosophy

Every project, no matter how small, is important to my client’s success. The same creativity, attention to detail and professionalism is applied to everything I do. I know how to work effectively to meet critical deadlines and also understand that, sometimes, a deadline is a moving target. I never miss. This basic tenet has allowed me to develop long-term relationships with my clients. some of which have lasted many years through multiple management changes.
