MEET MINDEE
Specializing in Brand Identity Systems & Surface Pattern Design
ABOUT
Mindee Dziuba is a brilliant and prolific graphic designer and artist, whose perpetual stride towards creation and perfection is informed by her many creative gifts. Combining photography, painting, typography, and composition, Mindee transcends her clients' needs and vision to create an elevated holistic visual language suitable for the design solution at hand. Her passion for unraveling the mystery in design problems and deriving the most perfect solutions mirrors the passion that her clients have for their businesses.
Mindee spent her twenties developing her commercial advertising expertise as a producer, stylist, studio manager, and photographer, all while exploring exciting opportunities in graphic design. Since then she has been honing her skills and working as a freelance designer for small to medium sized businesses, focusing on brand identity systems, packaging and print design. Her experience with analog production methodologies and love of drawing has more recently led Mindee to develop an interest and talent in surface pattern design.
While the path felt meandering in her youth, as a seasoned professional, the many paths Mindee has taken all converge to a main road leading to a multidisciplinary approach to solving any problem that comes across her desk in a unique and dynamic way.
Aside from a Fine Arts degree from San Francisco State University, studies across the marketing and creative disciplines include:
-
Cal Poly, SLO - Graphic Communications
-
Brooks Institute of Photography - Commercial Advertising Photography
-
The Academy of Art San Francisco - Fine Arts Principles
My work brings me such joy and I am grateful for it every day. I have the privilege of working with an outstanding team of vendors & industry professionals, and have an amazing client list. Relationships and client management are at the heart of working with any size business. Design is a creative process but it is also a business tool. I see myself as a conduit for my clients, a tool to help them creatively express their visual needs in a way that they are not able to do so for themselves.
PHILOSOPHY
My creative approach varies depending on the needs of the client and particular project. Many times clients know exactly what they want and are excellent at articulating their needs. I will provide input and refinement and we will work closely together to realize their vision. Other times, people have no idea where to start. If this is the case, I have a series of questions and methods to start helping you envision your project. This process helps us develop a common design language - so I know what you mean when you tell me during review, “It needs more pop!” and you know what I mean when I tell you “The range of pop! this design contains is maxed out for its final application but here are other ways we can accomplish what you are looking for.”
The end goal is always the same, no matter the process - for you to love the finished piece and for you to feel that it best represents you, your business and your brand.
