There's nothing wrong with being Outspoken.

Successful companies tell a story because people love to hear a good story.

A story distinguishes a brand. We help to design good stories.

Let us create a complete branding concept for your business that goes beyond a fantastic logo and dips into your company’s identity and ability to establish an emotional connection with your target audience.

We design an identity for your company that will make a positive first impression, which invites customers to interact with your brand.

A website should be appealing with the ability to anticipate a potential clients’ needs and wants. We develops websites that create an atmosphere of trust and comfort for potential clients.

Shoutouts &

Previous Clients

“As a golfer, I tend to speak in golf terms. Every project Shana has done for me has been “a hole in one”. Her drive is long and straight in the fairway. Her point of impact has been powerful. And her finish is always elegant. So, for a great score, make your next round with Vocal Art Designs.”

“From the beginning of Organized Khaos Events, Shana was there to assist me in navigating what I wanted the brand to look like. She designed the logo, advised on the colors, and created the original website. She was absolutely instrumental in building the ground work. I wouldn’t have known where to start if not for Shana. Her creativity and design process considers her client and their vision to make it happen.”

“I recently started working with Shana as my writing coach and I couldn’t be more pleased with her services. She has helped me understand the importance of putting my emotions into my story to be able to have the reader get a sense of what I’m trying to convey. I’m looking forward to finishing my book with Shana’s guidance.”

I AM A MOTHER

As a mother, I am three things: protective, able to quickly handle situations and problems that seemingly pop out of nowhere, and a master juggler of multiple tasks. These are all skills you want in a designer.

 

I AM A BOOKWORM

I read a good amount…well, maybe a lot…all right fine…an insane amount. Whether it be for pure enjoyment or education, I am a die hard bookworm. I’m not afraid to admit I don’t know everything and I’m proud to say that I actually enjoy learning. Discovering something new or honing my skills is a natural part of my existence. I soak up information whenever I have a spare five seconds. And no one bothers me when I’m reading, so I can relax.

 

I AM A “LOOKER”

I like to view my surroundings as one big visual party that stimulates my creativity. I look at colors, textures, forms, sizes, and the relationship of things. In my head ideas are born, re-created, edited, and twisted all around to view all sides. Some make it on the page while others die in the back of my mind.

 

MY FAVORITE SLOGAN IS NIKE’S

Just do it“. It’s simple. It’s direct. And it can relate to so many things. It overrides my excuses, my failures, my stressors, and many late night work sessions. It’s like a pick-me-up when I don’t have caffeine.

 

I AM A WRITER

I enjoy losing myself in paper and pen. Whether in poetry or stories, creative writing allows me to unfold my imagination, challenging myself to tell the story a different way. It’s like scribbling outside of the lines to see what bigger picture I can create.

 

I LIKE TO TALK

I am a people person. I like casual conversations, formal conversations, debates, and speeches-all of which give me an opportunity to find out what others feel, think, and believe. Communication and interaction are the basics for a functioning society. What people like, what people don’t like, their opinions, and their stories allow me to assess and observe what will and won’t work as design concepts.
