About us

Blue Heron Design Group is a full-service, award-winning graphic design studio located in Santa Cruz, CA that opened its doors in 1998. We are driven by our mission that successful graphic design is founded on clear communication between designers and clients. Our professionals have more than 30+ years experience in the areas of graphic design, writing, editing, web design, and print brokering. Our design process begins with listening, asking questions, and clarifying ideas. The next step is to refine the clients’ ideas with creativity and technical expertise. The finished product reflects the clients’ personality, meets their communication goals, and effectively delivers the desired message to their target audience.

Our collaboration reflects our belief that effective graphic communication demands a successful integration of the visual, textual, and organizational aspects of any project. We value teamwork, professionalism, and communication skills as our strengths.  

Our work has won several awards for designs including the MarCom Platinum award for an advertising campaign, a Platinum award for magazine design, a MarCom Gold Award for magazine advertising, a Gold award for the design of an annual report and a third MarCom Gold award for magazine design.
