When I started a small business from scratch last February in 2015, I enlisted the services of…read moreDogum Design. I had been randomly following him on Instagram @dogumdesign for a few years now, and I've always been impressed with his freehand artistry, and knack for colors and graphic design. So in the very beginning when I needed to realize our logo idea to fruition, I figured why not give him a try? One successful business season later, I am so glad I did. Not only did the owner, Alex Dogum, painlessly and synergistically help create a beautiful logo, I found out he could also make webpages. So he also created our beautiful website! beachbusmd.com. I mean the work speaks for itself. I had ZERO web design experience going in, but Alex set up a very snazzy website based on the Wordpress blog site, and even went above and beyond and took the time to train me on how to use and modify it (so he wouldn't have to spend 30 min to an hour every time I needed a minor change, which he always graciously did). It ran a Divi theme with multiple plugins, provided CMS access, and best of all could detect when being accessed by a smartphone and was designed with providing a smooth mobile website version in mind. Everyone uses their smartphones these days, so this was huge for our business. When the other option was just a plane jane website costing much much more with no mobile capability, Dogum Design provided a more modern, clean, user friendly, and streamlined website for much less. It even linked to our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! Very pleased with the work he did. There were some communication issues early on, but I realized it was because of me. A guy with Alex's talent is understandably very busy, having to work on multiple projects at any given time. Once I was more descriptive and got better at explaining what I wanted in detail, Alex put in the extra time and effort to provide a polished product, and met every deadline without fail. So word of advice, when hiring a talented, busy artist, don't always expect them to read your mind. In the end we were provided with a great product, and we were completely satisfied with Dogum Design. We will use them again in the future. 5 stars. Jeff Lee Co-founder / Member Beach Bus LLC

Alex Dogum is a top notch illustrator and designer, and he runs his company in the same fashion…read more Metagrapher LLC has hired his firm on numerous occasions to produce custom graphics for our clients, for both print and digital media, and we've never been left wanting. His passion and dedication are second to none. While other designers and illustrators seemingly love to hear the sound of deadlines whizzing past their face, Dogum shines in the ability to under-promise and over-deliver. I am always impressed. I would and will use Dogum Design's services for a long time to come, and can't recommend them highly enough.

I ordered marketing materials for a job fair and hiring campaign through Nomboo. The consultant…read morecame to my location, analyzed my needs and the products I wanted.

Alison recently designed invitations for my sister's baby shower. I wanted them to look cute, but…read morenot too cute, and elegant, but not too formal. I tried to order them off a couple different online sites, but nothing was striking the perfect balance, partly because I didn't really know what that was :). It was going to be a pretty tight turn around, but decided to see if Ali could help me out in the pinch. Within 24 hours, Ali sent me an invite with EXACTLY what I wanted. I was so happy with how they turned out. I would recommend Ali to anyone. She does great work and she is really fun to work with too! All and all she makes the invites extra special.
