EC Creative Solutions Blog

My 2-year-old daughter doesn’t like fruit salad. Peaches in particular. She refuses to even try them. I don’t know if it is because she already knows that she likes strawberries, but she doesn’t know what she’s missing out on because she isn’t trying them.

I bring this up because right now, I am taking my first bite of a peach. And even though it tastes a little different, and I’m just learning the ways to do it, this blog is my first foray into a technology that was previously in the shadows for me. And though I knew it was available and that it is a great tool for connecting with people and providing a service, I always found excuses to delay it. Too much work to do (well, lots, but not “too much”). Setting up a database is too tough (not true). Not enough to write about (that’s silly - I’ve always been a writer). So … no more excuses … here I am!

SO … I want to take this as an opportunity to introduce myself and to share a little about what I bring to the table (like peaches!)

I own a small marketing company in San Antonio, TX, and focus on graphic design, web design, marketing and copywriting. Many of my clients are in the financial and credit services industry, but I’m definitely not limited to those fields. I worked for about 10 years in corporate marketing as the senior creative marketing manager for GreenPoint Mortgage. Then when the mortgage crisis hit, Capital One (the parent company) closed GreenPoint. I took this as an opportunity to start my own company - something that I had been thinking of doing for a long time. It’s a little intimidating to do something this drastic, since I have a family to support.

But I heeded the old axiom that “if you leap, the net will appear.” I chose to ignore “don’t let go of one vine until you are holding the next one.”

So here I am, eight months later, and I am happy to report that the net DID appear. EC Creative Solutions has been servicing a wide variety of clients, developing Web sites, logos, banner ads and providing many other services. But no, I don’t do windows, or mow lawns (unless my wife asks me to).

Since this is my first post, I can’t promise a set schedule, but I will do my best to provide a service, blogging about graphic design, Web design, marketing, copywriting, and anything else that comes to mind. Like fruit salad.
