About Bluemuse

Bluemuse Media is one-person design studio based in Vancouver BC. I’ve been producing web and print materials for clients across the continent since 2001. I’m known for my project-management skills, which means my work is efficient, effective and thorough.

Small is Beautiful*

By staying small, I can remain personally connected with my clients and the work I produce for them. This makes us all happy. Also, because of my first-hand experience (see over to the right), I often work with non-profit organizations, arts/cultural communities and, of course, small businesses. I like to cultivate long-term relationships, and a lot of my clients do too.

Multi-talented and Ready to Roll

I offer the breadth of skills of a larger team, without the larger team (and larger rigamarole). There are no days and days of planning meetings required. I’m am a great listener and get results for my clients very quickly.

*Inspired by economist E.F. Schumacher and his 1973 collection of essays.

Small business. BIG impact.

Bluemuse offers small-company prices for big-impact marketing and communications tools.

Bluemuse Media

Since 2001, Bluemuse has developed beautiful and accessible websites, online applications and printed materials for great clients.

Bluemuse's work is detailed and thorough. The aim is not to convince you to get the latest whirligig. Instead you can expect thoughtful advice, resulting in a solution that works for you.

Bluemuse projects are often quite technical and considered, though beauty and function best describes the end result. (You cannot have beauty without function. Want proof? See the Bluemuse portfolio.)

Bluemuse embraces, nay, celebrates, meaningful and values-based work.

Plays well with others

Every so often, a project is on the bigger side of small. For large–scale work, you best find another company for the job. But for medium–sized work, Bluemuse can bring in other qualified professionals for collaboration. Having great working relationships with a top-notch roster means Bluemuse can assemble a small team quickly.

Rates

Because every project has a unique scope and specifics, it's best that you get in touch to discuss yours. You will get a detailed, customized estimate and proposal.

To give you an idea, typical print projects have budgets starting at $800. Web projects have minimum budgets of $4000.

Timelines

How quickly can your job be done? A comfortable timeframe for websites is between one and three months from go to launch. Print projects can take two-to-three weeks, depending on the size of the finished product. Lead time required depends on availability. (Check out the current conditions.)
