Andrea Koran, Principal & Founder
In elementary school, I was the kid who always volunteered to make the bake sale poster. My yearbook superlative was best artist. I love creating and bringing brands to life. I interpret strategy, inspire teams and craft meaningful messaging that resonate with target audiences.     

I thrive on communicating and achieving my client’s goals through innovative graphic design and branding. I flourish in collaborative environments and take satisfaction in planning and implementing effective marketing solutions. Great ideas come from anywhere and anyone—I’m always on the lookout for the next cool thing.

Delivering effective communication is my number one goal. My satisfaction comes from knowing, for instance, I helped maximize event attendance; successfully launched a new product; or created additional growth and revenue for my clients.

​

Create. Communicate. Deliver.
As a passionate marketer, I thoroughly enjoy the collaborative process and am well-versed in strategic planning, research, content creation, branding, design, copywriting, and editing.

 

Over a twenty-plus year career I have developed ideas into effective marketing solutions for companies and organizations including Field Museum of Natural History, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Wilmette Park District, Swedish American Museum, Medline Industries, Inc., and Grant Thornton LLP.

 

An Ann Arbor native, I grew up two blocks from The Big House and graduated from the University of Michigan with a BFA in graphic design and photography. I love all things design including rehabbing my 150-year-old home on Chicago’s North Shore.

​

Services
Leveraging all channels, including print, digital marketing, and websites, I work closely with my clients to create results-driven graphic design and marketing solutions for projects including advertising, annual reports, branding, consumer campaigns, corporate communications, identity, collateral, packaging, and signage.
