We contracted Chalkbox Creative to professionally design a new logo for our maturing company. What we had was decent, but we really wanted to elevate the professionalism & presence of our business. Chalkbox worked closely with us to come up with the perfect logo. They also developed a style guide with our typography and color themes, & we couldn't be happier. Chalkbox is professional, easy to work with, responsive, and their work is top-notch. I won't hesitate to refer to them. read more

I engaged with Chalkbox Creative to help me with a brand and logo refresh we as started to grow. My favorite part of the project was seeing the way my business was seen from the outside based on the suggestions I was sent. Logos and branding (especially really early on in a business) are so personal to the people who started the business and I really felt like the suggestions captured my essence! I get so many compliments on our branding and I cannot recommend Chalkbox enough! I sing there praises all the time! Some specifics on my pleasure with the process are: 1. The intake covered all of the specifics I needed and offered Chalkbox a scope to work with 2. The quoted price was reasonable and along the lines of what I expected to pay for the services 3. Engagement documents were sent quickly and were easy to read, understand, and sign 4. I was given a general timeline and the overall time of the project exceeded my expectations 5. I felt known and seen through the process and felt like all options presented were representative of me and my business from my own perspective but with the importance of design in mind 6. All of the discussions from intake to completion were taken into account to provide the final options - including fonts and colors 7. The final product was delivered in the promised timeframe and is so easy to use along with a guidelines pdf to provide when I need to have my logo used. Whether big or small, Chalkbox Creative will make you feel like their most important client. I am excited to have them with me as m business continues to grow! Thank you so much to the Chalkbox team for your amazing work! read more

As a small business owner, it is so important that I have a great website that validates the quality and caliber of my practice. I have a job search coaching and HR consulting business and people look at my website to make sure that I am welcoming, professional and clearly articulating my services. That's why I was so, so picky when it came to selecting a website designer. Chalkbox Creative does not disappoint. Josh and his team (David Innes included) created the most beautiful website I could have imagined. Beyond my own ideas, Josh provided guidance on color, layout, templates and photography. He was my website design Zenmaster and David my Yoda. Important to note: I believe that to create a sterling website requires patience, thoughtfulness and lots of time. I was lucky in that I had no real deadline. My focus was on the creation of a website that really reflected me and my business. So, it took quite a long time - about 4 months - to make this website the great site it is today. So, I advise patience and the willingness to work with Josh and team at a slow but intentional pace. I cannot say enough about the follow-up from David and Josh - they answered all of my questions, David met with me in person to walk me through some self-service work and they both responded immediately to any questions I had post-launch. Thank you Chalkbox Creative!!!! I love my site and so do my clients! read more

I went to Josh to revamp my business logo as well as design cards, letterhead, etc. Josh was easy to work with listened to my Ideas before returning with a few options he had worked out, they were all good, it took me a week to pick one. Josh also worked with my web designer, making sure that colors worked with the website as well as the cards, he even put my logo into a format easy for my web designer to incorporate into my web site. I highly recommend Chalkbox Creative!!! read more

I love love love Chalkbox Creative. We've been in business for over twenty years, but our image and marketing looks so fresh and so clean clean because the team at Chalkbox Creative heard our voice and figured out a way to turn it into a modern and personalized identity for our "small business." I have to convince people to entrust the sale of their real estate to me - you know what prices are in Seattle - and Chalkbox designed the brochures that we use to market their properties. I want to do an advertisement for Chalkbox: if I can trust them to help me sell $750,000 houses, I think they can be trusted to help your business or non-profit capture the audience you need. There is, in all sincerity, nobody that I would trust with my branding and marketing more than Chalkbox Creative. I would give them a rating of the stars and the moon in the skies above if Yelp! would let me. read more

Every year, when the big annual project for my longest-tenured client rolls around, I get the question: "Can we use your designer again?" The Chalkbox Creative team has earned my complete trust--and the trust of my content and copywriting clients--over years of working together on a variety of projects. I know that whatever I throw at them, I'll get high-quality work delivered on time, and solid value for the investment. They've created logos, brochures, event programs, and more for both me and my clients, with a seamless experience each time. read more

Josh is my fabulous graphic designer! Josh's design and communication skills are top notch. He is talented, organized, knowledgeable in his field and easy to work with. I'm currently working with Josh on a creative project and it is a pleasure. He asks lots of questions up front to gain full understanding of his assignment and its scope. His results demonstrate that he listens and pays attention to what I have to say. A recurring theme I find in Josh's work is happiness. read more

Josh at Chalkbox Creative has saved my life more than once. I have returned to Chalkbox Creative for both print and web based projects many times overs. Josh is super pro and easy to work with. He knows his stuff and has a large network of colleagues to assist with aspects of the project that fall outside the scope of his focus. Highly recommended! read more

I've worked with Josh on lots of different projects over the last 15 years, including branding, catalogs, advertising, brochures, etc... He's very professional and probably the most creative designer I've ever worked with. He's exceptional at understanding the client's needs and desires and expanding them further. He always goes above and beyond what's asked of him. Hire him! you won't be disappointed. read more

I have had the pleasure of seeing Josh's work on some of my clients products for over a year now. He is the quintessential graphic designer. When you need to get your message out in a concise, clear and tasteful manner he is the guy who can help you do that. Chalkbox Creative is reasonably priced and extremely capable. Josh is responsive to requests by telephone and email. Josh worked at Amazon for several years before starting his own firm. He has the knowledge, experience and talent to tackle a simple business card design, to a whole identity package, up to large annual reports, auction materials, etc. for large non-profits. If your business or non-profit is in need of a makeover to its branding, logos, publications, letterhead, business cards, etc. give Josh a call. You will be glad you did! read more

Josh Rocks! I'm working with Josh right now on some branding items for my business, and they look great! He is a total artist. My truck is the first item that we're tackling, and then some of the print marketing collateral will follow. I'm really excited about how this will improve the branding of my business. He's really got an eye for design, and can even draw! It's not all graphic designers that can also provide illustration. It's really great to have both services at one location. If you haven't seen his illustration work, ask him to see it. It's fun, but professional...and really appropriate for a variety of businesses. I can't speak highly enough about Josh and the work of his creative studio. If you have any graphic design needs...look no further! Josh is great. I love his style, and look forward to having him brand more items for my business. Thank you, Josh! Dean W. read more

We hired Chalkbox Creative to create a set of logos and identity for our company and are THRILLED with the outcome. We had no idea what to expect and Josh made it painless (actually fun). I still don't know how he took our rambling conversations and came up with a perfect set of logos and themes for our business. We couldn't be happier with the result. Josh asked interesting questions and captured a combination of our personalities and our products to create a picture of our identity that definitely feels like us. Along the way he helped us deepen our understanding of who we are and how we want to present ourselves to our our customers and colleagues. He offered a variety of options along the way and responded to our feedback positively. He was upfront about timeline and cost and stuck to it and was very communicative along the way. I look forward to working with him on the future as we develop new products, which will need their own logos. I recommend Chalkbox Creative and Josh without hesitation. He is talented, honest, and fun to work with and will give you more than you can imagine in terms of results. read more

Chalkbox Creative exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend consulting with Josh if you are considering a change to your logo and branding. I'm a small business owner and was OK with the logo and business cards I had been using. I had thoughts of giving it an update but couldn't imagine the possibilities and what I would actually want it to look like. I reached out to Josh to discuss my dilemma, and he asked very profound questions about how I run my business. From those questions he was able to come up with a variety of options that resonated with me and the culture of my business. I am thrilled with my new logo and branding materials and appreciated his expertise in coordinating the printing of materials. In 1 month I have received more compliments on my new business card than I had received the past 4 years from my old design. read more

I have used Chalkbox Creative for many of my client's marketing collateral. They can do it all, from posters to postcards, logos to complete branding identity packets. These guys are amazing.

They made my clients ideas come to life and were always on brand. These guys are a cut above the rest when it comes to your creative projects. I can't recommend them more highly for any of your graphic design needs. read more

I have been working with Josh and Chalkbox Creative since 2004. Since then, he has handled all of my marketing materials such as business cards, logo re-work and design, postcard mailers, brochures, and also my website design. From year to year, as my business has grown and changed, I am always trying to keep things new, fresh and up to date. When I work with Josh, I am always impressed by his work and ability to understand my business and take things in the right direction. I not only consider Josh "My Graphic Guy", but I feel he is a part of my team! We collaborate well. I will tell him my ideas and he executes and exceeds my expectations everytime! His prices are always reasonable and very fair. I highly Recommend Josh and Chalkbox Creative!! read more

What can you say about a good guy that listens and delivers what you ask for in a timely manner with a fair price...your hired!

Josh is a fantastic designer and shows the utmost in professionalism and customer service! I needed a fresh look for my business cards and went to Josh. I had an idea of what I wanted, it turned out that it was not really a good idea (this is why HE is the designer and I'm not)...but he did what I asked anyway. He also worked up several other options for me, and explained what factors I may want to think about in choosing an image. His ideas were all so good that I had a hard time choosing. When I had narrowed it down to 2 choices, he easily helped me figure out which one was the best fit for my company. He then gave me a great recommendation for a printer, met me at the printer's office, and made sure the color was going to be exactly how it was intended. I ended up with cards that I am very happy with, and he accomplished it all in a short period of time. I am very impressed. read more

Josh was so great -- highly recommended! I presented him with a tough challenge to create a logo for my new small business. I showed him the approach that I was thinking about. He went off, did a bunch of research on my field, and came back with excellent, creative ideas. To appease me, he did up a draft with my approach, but it was obvious that his ideas were far better. Josh was very easy to work with. We met a couple of times to review drafts. He offered alternatives and suggestions, and readily incorporated my feedback. He's certainly gone above and beyond in terms of time and effort. I don't know a lot about graphics design, but his rates were very reasonable as far as I was concerned. read more

A graphic designer makes you look good - period. At least that's what they're supposed to do. Unfortunately, there are too many fly-by-night operations out there that disappear for weeks at a time, never to be heard from again, then don't understand why you took your business elsewhere (personal experience). Luckily, that 'elsewhere' was Josh and Chalkbox Creative. They communicate, they understand deadlines, /and/ their work is GREAT! Thinking Graphic Design? Think Chalkbox Creative!! read more

Just had Josh update my business cards and vehicle advertising and art. WOW I am a hard sell,,, usually. but josh did a outstanding job on a drop of a dime. And he was very affordable. great job Josh. I cannot wait for my truck logos to be done from the signage company. read more

On short notice (7 days), Josh produced a presentation that I needed for a new concept. In addition, he collaborated with the web developer and content writer. What I expected was a great end product, what I didn't expect is the additional advice and helpful feedback on the project that were beyond Chalkbox Creative. He knows his stuff! read more
