Wuffdawg Creative Services is a small home-based graphic design company for printed materials and informational web sites. Sandy Chestnutt, Principal of WCS, started her graphics business in Southern California in 1984. She also taught computer graphics for page layout, image editing and manipulation, computer illustration, and HTML programming on a corporate level in Connecticut and New York during the 90’s. She and her husband, Bill Chestnutt, work together to assist other's in the community in meeting their marketing and company identification needs.
Her creative education inlcudes an AA degree in Commercial Art (1975) with continued education in Computer Graphics, HTML programming, and Illustration/Painting.
Relocating the company in 2008 to Taos County in Northern New Mexico, she offers quality design and production work to small businesses looking to side step the stress and chaos of dealing with corporate design and marketing firms.
Wuffdawg Creative Services is driven with a passion to create great looking materials for their clients. Bringing into reality the client’s vision is the goal. Tools of the trade include the computer, but designs are original and empowered by brain not machine.
“Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
One of my favorite quotes. Personal computers have given many people the freedom to produce materials on their own, in some cases altering the degree of professionalism to their finished product. “We bridge the gap, working with a client’s ideas and/or layouts to produce a polished and professional look.”
Remember, “…when it’s quality, it’s Wuffdawg.”
