About Sketchstart

Who?

I’m a creative, professional that listens and interprets. I offer a la carte projects or complete marketing support that includes: design, branding, illustration, social media and marketing strategy, online and offline. End to end experience. I am ultimately a solutions maker that uses design, ideas, programming, and grit to make things happen that benefit your bottomline.

I enjoy doing what you expect, but I strive to blow your mind!

Why?

My goal as a creative is to grow your business. I know there are tons of talented solutionists (we’re probably friends), but I offer agency experience with personal attention. You’ll remember the work I do for you, but you’ll appreciate the way I do it for you too!

What’s New?

Atwear.Co –  I recently launched a clothing brand. Visit Atwear.co for more info.

The Back Story

Eric Joseph

Eric Joseph

Creative Strategy

Left brain or right brain? The answer is YES.

Growing up as an Air Force brat, I had the pleasure of living in many places and having experiences that have helped me in ways I am still discovering.

I can remember winning my first drawing contest with the very simple architectural plans for a house in the shape of a Space Invader. Creative can be functional.

If you are familiar with the lifestyle of military families, you are aware of the frequent moving that results from new assignments. Constantly making new friends and finding ways to communicate even when you didn’t speak the language. There are many ways to get your point across.

Sports were a big part of my life. Through sports I learned the value of the individual and the individual as part of a team. Everyone has their strengths and the right combination of those strengths makes for an effective team. Know your strengths.

What do I do best? Print, web, interactive, copywriting,video and strategy are all part of my toolbox. What I do best is create solutions.

My approach to every project is to first truly understand the objective and then work backwards. Having the vision helps to generate the process.

 

What we do when we do…

It’s more than just aesthetics. The beauty is when the work succeeds both visually and in efficiency. We don’t just make things look pretty.
