About

DS Design Studio (Dave Saltonstall) is a graphic designer that delivers agency-quality creative, teamwork, project management and branding expertise. I have primarily provided services for small to mid-sized companies in the past that did not have the internal resources to design and deliver all of their sales and marketing initiatives. I have run this company on a full-time and freelance basis in the past but I am currently pursuing full-time employment.

Track Record

Dave Saltonstall (DS) has provided marketing initiatives for existing brands like HEAD Wintersports, Gorton's Seafood, Eastern Mountain Sports and Easter Seals in addition to creating new brand campaigns. I pride myself in actively listening to Marketing Directors and study their brands so I can seamlessly design projects that speak to the clients' image and mission.

DS Design Studio markets to small and mid-size companies that need experienced designers who will provide the synergy and professionalism they deserve. Super bowl ads are not our specialty (well...maybe not yet) but please don't expect to get value from designers on websites like Outsource, Thumbtack or brick and mortar stores like FedEx Kinkos.

DS Promise

DS brand is: honest, hard working, experienced, dependable, approachable, and I provide excellent design solutions. I promise a direct line of communication with clients, I hit the ground running by researching the brand and the competitors.

Expertise

I utilize web developers for back-end development and harness your business knowledge to develop creative, cost-effective programs that will put you ahead of the competition. We can talk about it or you can just see for yourselves at DS (Dave Saltonstall) Design Studio Graphic Portfolio.

About The Artist

Dave Saltonstall: Highlights outside of graphic design include: Traveling to Italy, Croatia, and Maui with my wife, daughter and son-in-law, biking the rail trails (knocking them off the list with my wife and friends) and mountain biking the dogtown woods (go if you haven't), golfing with buddies and family, photography, playing with the band Millie and the Half Nelsons, a Gloucester-Based Band Playing a Wide Variety of Rock and Pop Hits!, reading or listening to Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Phil Pustejovsky (real estate guru), hiking, walking daily, great weekends in N.H. with family at my dads on the Pemi River, and enjoying the beach.

Dave Saltonstall Photography

Landscape, nature and wildlife photography are my primary photographic passions and living on Cape Ann offers so many wonderful opportunities right in my back yard. I have always had an interest in photography and my background in Graphic Design is so beneficial on so many levels that I feel truly blessed to have found a passion for photography that will never go away. The exhilaration of capturing a moment in time, being outdoors and experiencing some of the surprises makes me so excited about the future. Currently my photography is being sold online at Fine Art America.com
