Who we are

Yes, Brenda Adams has been winning awards ever since her first blue ribbon in 4H. From Tennessee to Texas to Boston, she’s blazed a trail with on-point branding and preemptive graphic design. Since founding Adams Design in 1990, she has created award-winning advertising, packaging and collateral work for a diverse list of clients in the retail, financial & professional, corporate, healthcare and real estate industries.

Yes, Adams Design is known for awards, but also for elegant, thought-provoking design, strategic clarity and expressive language. But above all, for the ability to bring these together in original and preemptive branding, to strive for work that is inspiring, memorable, amusing, elegant, ironic… anything but ordinary.

Adams Design is a full service design firm specializing in: Brand Strategy | Website Design | Collateral Systems | Logo & Identity Design | Signage & Wayfinding.
