News | el Wray Design -

Hi! My name is Emily Wray and I'm a new media consultant.

I design marketing, informational and educational tools for small businesses - - From brand consultation to web site development to internet marketing.

Many clients tell me they can't keep up with technology while managing the day-to-day operations of a business. My job is to empower them with the tools and training needed to easily integrate information systems into their business processes. I like to think of myself as a "tech coach."

Who do you know who is struggling to promote their brand, develop a web site or simply connect with their customers?

Please encourage them to call me so I can help find a solution that meets both their technical needs and resources.

It's the beginning of September and you know what that means... FREE DESIGN TIME!

As you may recall, each month friends/fans/followers who subscribe to my mailing list are entered to win 2 free hours of service.

And who's the lucky winner this month? Dr. Annie Tuttle!

When I contacted Dr. Annie, I learned she's in the market for a new tattoo design. I know I'm going to enjoy this project already!

Rain Drops on Roses...

If I sat down to make a list of my favorite things, collaborating with local ceramics artist Julie Guyot would be one of them. Julie and I have a ton in common, including the business of art.

The challenging part of working with Julie, or any other creative, is finding a way to elevate their art/vision through my design. For example, when we worked on Julie's web site, we decided it needed to be a blank canvas, like a wall in a gallery, to showcase her work.

So when Julie asked me to help create new merchandise tags and a banner for her upcoming appearance at the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago on September 11-12th...

...let's just say I was honored!

The Renegade is a unique collection of indie artists from all over the nation, showcasing their incredible talent in crafting handmade goods. Being chosen to exhibit at The Renegade is no small feat, so a BIG CONGRATS to Julie for being selected and a BIG THANKS for enlisting my help with the marketing materials.

This is what Julie had to say about our recent collaboration:

"I feel like you looked at my work and created something that really represents what I am doing."

Last month I created a new mailing list to keep friends of el Wray Design "in the know." As you may recall, I promised to give away 2 FREE hours of service each month as a thank you to those who subscribed.

August's lucky winner is... Cyndy Hughes!

For those of you curious as to how Cyndy was selected as this month's winner, let me assure you, it was a highly scientific process.

When a user subscribes to my mailing list, they are issued an ID number. When it was time to select the winner, I generated a random number using an online random number generator. I then matched the random number to the subscriber's ID. Viola!
