• About Mike Shield

    Nearly twenty years as a graphic designer in corporate marketing and communication environments has built the foundation for my career as a freelancer.

    The corporate world taught me to:
    • Design with marketing objectives in mind
    • Work within budgets and tight deadlines
    • Openly communicate with clients
    • Work within corporate identity guidelines when needed and still deliver fresh, creative results

    My strengths lie in print design - brochures, direct mail, ads, etc. Logo design is also an area of focus, with a specialty in promotional and event logos.

    Clients hire me for straight-forward layout projects, as well as developing creative concept strategies for ad campaigns, promotional campaigns and identity projects.


    Here's what a few of clients have said:

    “Working with Shield Design has given us the ability to compete with larger companies who often have their own design staff or contracted agency. They have helped us create brochures and advertising campaigns that rival our largest competitors.”
    — Kelly O’Toole, Blue Flame Propane, Inc.

    “Everything that Shield Design has created for us has exceeded our expectations.  We run on a short timeline with many last minute projects, and it's always a relief to know our deadlines will be met without sacrificing quality and creativity.”
    — Katie Schult, Marketing Manager, Speedco, Inc.

    “Shield Design took the time to understand our business and our advertising needs. Their work exceeded our expectations, and we have the utmost trust and confidence that they will deliver an
    exceptional product at a fair price every time!”
    — Aaron Eversmeyer, Owner of River Rehabilitation Physical Therapy
