I’m Dana Lynch, a graphic designer and the owner of Blue Kite Company. I started this business over five years ago when I realized how difficult it was to find suppliers and production partners to meet the creative needs of volunteer-led organizations like school PTOs, youth sports teams, and community-based groups.
Where Community Meets Creative
I offer graphic design expertise, promotional product distribution, and access to a network of suppliers and distributors my customers can't find anywhere else.
The Blue Kite difference includes…
Graphic design services
Organizational knowledge and history
Project management from design through delivery
Small run capacity with no minimum quantities
HOW IT WORKS
All projects begin with an introductory call and continue with a proposal that includes the scope of work, expected delivery/completion dates, and a price quote with mockups.
Pricing is determined by the scope of the project and deliverables. We work closely to understand the customer's project specifications and budget needs. Then we research solutions to create a proposal that meets their needs.
Graphic design services are typically billed at an hourly rate. Negotiated and set prices are available on request.
Custom orders for apparel, gear, and other printed or promotional material are priced by calculating the cost plus a markup that is typically 40% and follows average promotional industry pricing. The markup amount may vary with the project's timing, size, and scope.
Once the proposal is accepted, the design and production process begins with close collaboration to ensure the project deliverables meet and exceed customer expectations.
Finally, projects are completed and ready to be fulfilled in various ways depending on the final deliverables.
