Grow your brands reach and create loyal customers.

your logoIt's the visual expression of your brand's identity in shorthand, it doesn't describe it. It identifies it.

Think. Brand. Connect

You learn a few things over 20 years of creating design and advertising solutions in design studios and advertising agencies. You understand and see which methods work, those that don't and the results they produce for the client and their business.

Using these methods accelerated our client's business growth, raised their profile and increased business confidence by giving them a Brand Strategy to get on with business. Combining this with the creation of key consumer touchpoints to support the Strategy. 

This method and experience are what I now use for our AXLR8TM method to gain focus for your branding in an intense 1-day session.

What they are saying.

PROFESSIONAL + PERSONABLE

"We have worked with Steve on several projects for our businesses, the latest one was a project where we wanted to rebrand one of our software products. In doing this, Steve really made an effort to get to know our business processes and the way that we operated so that he could achieve our design goals and project outcomes. His response was always prompt and flexible to our needs, adapting and producing quality work without compromise. We have always found Steve to be both professional and personable in his approach. There is no doubt we will continue to use his services in the future and have no hesitation in recommending his services to other businesses."

GAVIN ANDREW - Managing Director Code House and MyTech Solutions

EXPERIENCE + KNOWLEDGE

"Steve helped define and develop our corporate identity and logo. He listened and made suggestions constructively to help the process move smoothly. Applying that across the board from letterheads, corporate folders, promotional materials and our website design. We would thoroughly recommend Parashis Creative for any branding and design work. It is evident that he has the experience and the knowledge to get the job done.”

DEREK JOHNSON - Marketing and Distribution Manager Oliver Technologies

He has been easy to contact, returns my calls in a timely manner, make numerous changes to artwork quickly and without complaint and delivers a great looking publication.

master craftsman

I've seen Steven take wishy-washy verbal concepts from clients, and transform them into attention grabbing, visual reality. He truly is a master craftsman of the digital age. I'm happy to endorse and recommend Steven Parashis.

ARTHUR ECONOMIDES - Marketing & Communications at SUSA

BUSINESS OF DESIGN

Having worked with Steven under many different circumstances and on a diverse range of projects, I have always enjoyed his approach to the business of being creative.
He is a well-educated professional visual communicator who is able to sensibly brand a message in a creative or unique way that suits an existing framework, or he can develop a branding package in its entirety from scratch, allowing an entire suite of materials to be created from his art direction and original concepts.
Steve is very reliable and posesses a great understanding of many different mediums and production techniques giving him an edge in the business of design over creative professionals who may be less experienced.
He's pretty easy to get along with too!

JONATHAN DRAYSEY - Chiropractor

Capable + multi-skilled

Steven is always a pleasure to work with - personally and professionally. Capable and multi-skilled Steve is quick to respond to and 'get' the brief with pleasing results.
