Good design helps build and sustain competitive advantage. -Brian Gillespie, Design Management Institute

Team

Jeff Cochran

Jeff is the big cheese in our small shop. Though his title is El Presidente, he wears many hats, including Go Getter (brings in the jobs), Master Juggler (manages project workflow), and Miracle Worker (makes a client budget work, AND makes sure our vendors deliver a quality product on time). Also known as Chef Jeff, his gourmet cooking has bedazzled hundreds of eager eaters who consider it a veritable sin to turn down one of his meals.

Valerie Cochran

Valerie is the Easy Eye at ECI. She’s the brains behind the brawn... the face behind the voice... the pizzazz behind the pizza... of creativity, that is. Her superb taste can translate even the most unsavory client texts into a lip smackin’ work of art. (Okay, in reality, our designers just make her look good so she thinks she’s hot stuff.)

David Wennemar

David is a man on a mission. Even without x-ray vision and aerodynamic cape, he will search the unknown to find the most creative and effective interpre-tation of every client project he touches. Having a blood type labeled “S” for Supremely Talented, in his spare time David creates even more art, doing paper and print-making, and by drawing and painting.

Brian Kay

Though quite humble, Brian could boast because of the initials that dangle after his name. Holding a Masters Degree in Graphic Design, he approaches each project with care, thorough research, and artistic insight. When he’s not designing a typeface, logo, or layout, he can often be found absorbed in comic books, movies, or trivia.

Michael Carico

If it weren’t for Michael’s genius in programming and web development, each website we do would just be another pretty face without substance or functionality. Holding a Masters in MIS, Michael can customize anything—from a shopping cart from Russia to a database-driven CMS from Down Under—and make them run seamlessly.

Charlene Harrison

Charlene is the one who keeps us organ-ized and does all of the behind-the-scenes magic to keep our business running. She also sends our clients those cute little invoices, and gives reminders if they’re past due—either via phonecall, email, or by sending our friend, BoneCrusher” to their door. Talk about a thankless job. You gotta love Charlene!

Why?

Why use graphic design?

Design is powerful. It provides greater clarity and organization of your message, as well as commands the attention you're looking for from your audience

Why use ECI?

Value, experience, and greasy elbows. Our portfolio speaks for itself. We offer high quality graphic design at reasonable rates. You know your business. We know design. Design that works.

Kudos

Here is just a sampling of rave reviews we hear from our clients. Yeah, we're tooting our own horn, but when you're loved, you gotta flaunt it! A vast majority of the clients we work with come to us as a result of referrals from other beloved clients.

The site has been incredible. We have gotten many compliments on its unique nature and ease of navigation. We have been immensely pleased with the ability to show off pictures we choose and modify those pictures with ease.
Christin Powell Design Development Manager Masters, Inc.

The team at Exclamation not only listens well, but has the extraordinary ability to take our "input" and create output" that transforms our image in exactly the right way—elevating us to a new level of sophistication.
Andrea Bertrand President Maximum Title

I thoroughly enjoyed our experience in working with ECI. They captured the heart of our mission and helped us to creatively make it visible and memorable. Their expertise in relationships, communication and design would make them a welcomed partner for any organization.
Dan Mucci Lead Pastor Abundant Life Church

The AAEDC website is a primary source of efficient and effective marketing for Anne Arundel County business information. Exclamation designed an attractive website for us, arranging the information so that it is easy to find and fast to download.
Robert L. Hannon President and CEO Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation

ECI has been instrumental in the success of our redesign. They made our site easy to navigate and expand as our business grows. The amazing design exceeded our expectation and was up and running quickly. I am proud to point our customers to the new site.
Jeff Ostenso President Frank Gumpert Printing

Outstanding work! When I show our new brochure to people, the response has been overwhelming! My partner stared at it for over a half an hour with a glazed over grin on his face the whole time. Everyone has said it is nicer and more professional than they had hoped for.
Will Meris President IMH

I just wanted to let you know that the compliments have already started rolling in for the Save the Date piece. It looks wonderful! Thanks for doing such great work.
Valerie Smothers Deputy Director MedBiquitous

ECI was easy to work with. They were responsive to our requests, and at the same time, they provided additional ideas for us to consider. Our customers continue to compliment our website.
Cindy Bennington Owner and Chef Cynthia’s Restaurant
