GBA Design

GBA Design works out of Bellingham, Washington, handling branding, marketing, and graphic design projects for clients launching a new business or product, refreshing a brand that has stopped performing, or pushing into a new market. The client list spans hotels, a radio museum, a residential contractor, a financial advisor, an architecture firm, and a specialty chocolate maker, among others, reflecting a practice that moves across industries rather than specializing in one.

Work is organized around three disciplines: identity, print, and web/mobile. Identity projects include brand systems for a catering company and a fundraising event, plus a radio museum branding effort that combined identity with print materials. Print work covers brochures, catalogs, and posters — hotel brochure series, a wedding brochure for a hotel, a museum fundraiser catalog, a theatre fundraising brochure, a residential community brochure, an event promotion poster, and a United Way campaign poster. Web and mobile projects include sites for a labor relations advisor, a health supplement manufacturer, a residential contractor, a financial advisor, and an architecture firm.

The project mix shows a firm comfortable moving between a printed fundraising catalog for a museum and a mobile-ready site for a financial advisor, applying the same identity-and-design foundation across formats. Nonprofit and cause-driven work — the United Way poster, theatre and museum fundraising pieces — sits alongside commercial branding for hospitality and professional-service clients, giving the studio range across both sectors and media.
