We are a small design studio offering graphic design and creative consulting.
We love what we do. Let's talk.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Gretchen’s design work is stellar. She’s a fierce advocate for her clients and a pleasure to work with. I can rely on the fact that she immediately understands, in fact, seems to intuit exactly what I’m looking for occasionally with very little information or communication from my end. Gretchen has done not just design work for me but, also been a part of the brainstorming and branding process on projects...projects that have gone on to win marketing awards.”
— COURTNEY CRANOR, TMP, Experience-Based Tourism, Non-Profit Management, Entrepreneurial Development, Public Relations, and Historic Preservation Professional
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I have had the pleasure of working closely on countless projects with Gretchen over the last 8 years, and I look forward to many more. In my last position at Massachusetts General Hospital, Gretchen’s work was touted as “the best we have ever produced” and a number of my colleagues now also partner with Queen City and are thrilled with the results. Gretchen is a phenomenal designer, a collaborative and knowledgable professional, and a real pleasure to work with. I could not recommend her or Queen City Creative more highly.”
— JENNIFER HAGEN, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
”In decades of working with graphic designers I've seldom met her equal for creativity and professionalism. Her work is highly effective at delivering the message.”
— BRUCE DORRIES, Faculty-In-Residence, Spencer Ctr. For Civic & Global Engagement, Assoc. Prof. of Communication at Mary Baldwin University
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Working with Gretchen is always a dream. She has great vision and is flexible when that vision doesn’t always work. It is wonderful to work with her as a photographer because she can direct a shoot in a fun and easy going way and yet maintains such authority over her crew! Not only have I worked on projects with Gretchen as the designer, but she recently did my branding for my business and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I highly recommend Gretchen as a graphic designer and I personally look forward to working with her every time a job comes our way!”
— SERA PETRAS, Owner Sera Petras Photography
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I can’t say enough about the top-notch quality of Gretchen’s work. Simply put, she’s got skills! Gretchen is super quick, highly creative and has excellent design instincts. In the end, the results are vibrant, clean and eye-catching. And here’s the big plus: I love working with her! Gretchen’s easygoing, cheerful attitude makes the process enjoyable.”
— RUTH JONES, Director of Communications at Blue Ridge Area Food Bank
