Thanks for Visiting! My name is Sherry Paavola of Paavola Design. I am a Graphic Designer with over 25 years of freelance experience, developing engaging and effective designs in print and electronic media for clients in a broad range of industries. My sweet spot is helping small to mid-size businesses manage their creative demands by examining their current situation, defining the design problem and then offering effective visual solutions that are fresh, fitting and relevant, in order to achieve business development and growth — on time and on budget.

Additionally, if you're a creative director, designer or marketing professional and need someone to take your loose sketches and turn your creative nugget into a finished, print-ready or digital piece, I can lighten your load as your production designer.

Your timing is perfect
