Laurel Black Communications + Design

Back to My Work page

Your mission is at the core of all you do.

Getting its value across to your audience is absolutely vital. Our era has seen many new platforms for telling our stories, and the competition for attention has grown as well.

Communications are the make-it-or-break-it factor that spells the difference between connection and missing the mark.

You know that you have some of the best stories in your field.
Let’s make sure everyone else knows it, too.

Laurel Black Communications + Design has deep experience in making those vital connections between my clients and their customers. You’re invited to review my work and see what some of my clients have said about how I’ve helped them, either through creating original content or through skillful editing.

Port Angeles School Bond Levy Information

Port Angeles Citizens for Education used this informational handout to explain the benefits to the whole community of supporting the 2020 bond levy. It passed comfortably.

School Levy: Vote Yes!
“Laurel has a talent for speaking to people where they are, and for messaging and graphic design that is all about the right connection and tone. In communication and design, there is always the temptation to be most interested in one’s own creative ideas. Instead, Laurel approaches a client’s need from the perspective of what is most realistic and effective and builds the creative and messaging processes from there. It’s the right way to do it.”
— Steve Methner, Chair, Port Angeles Citizens for Education

"When I established my forestry consulting practice, it was vital to have a top-notch web site from the outset. Laurel created a site that has proven very effective. It has been a great source of new business."
