SINCE 1995

ABOUT JIM FOLSOM
BRANDING & DESIGN

When I was in middle school I took my first (and only) art class. I loved it! However, my mom gave me some advice; "Art is fine but be sure to study something that you can use to make a living." Very subtle but I got the hint. Do art in your spare time.

So forty-some years ago I found myself working as Assistant to the Chief Financial Officer of a small non-profit. One day he asked if I could finish up the quarterly newsletter because the regular person wouldn't be back in time from vacation in time to meet the press deadline. Working on that layout was such a breath of fresh air. And evidently it was a hit. After that one newsletter, I had a new position and began doing all their layout and design work.

After a stint as Communications Director for another non-profit, I set out on my own doing freelance work beginning in 1995. Sometimes it was full-time. At other times, it was a part-time gig while working for other companies as Communications Director, Creative Director, web designer, copy writer, and head artist (not in that order).

Since 2014, Folsom Design has been my full-time focus. I help clients find the best ways to connect with their audience using a variety of media. Whether print, email, social media, or web presence, we will work together to find the most effective medium to help you achieve your specific goals.
