I’m thrilled and humbled to share that Creative by Design has been named Graphic Design Company of the Year – Pacific US by the 2026 Excellence Awards.
When I started Creative by Design more than 30 years ago, I had a simple goal: help businesses look as good as they really are. Since then that goal has grown into graphic design, websites, branding, printing, promotional products and marketing. Through all of it, the heart of the work hasn’t changed. It’s about people.
This award belongs to our clients. Every logo, brochure, website and campaign we’ve made started with someone’s dream: a small business owner opening their doors, a nonprofit reaching more of the community, a civic group telling its story. You trusted us with those dreams, and that trust is what this recognition is really about.
What it means to us. Being recognized across the whole Pacific region is a big honor for an agency rooted right here in Corona. It shows that thoughtful, personal, relationship-driven design still matters. You don’t need to be the biggest agency to do work that stands out. You need to care about every detail and every client.
What’s next. We’re not slowing down. We’ll keep pushing creatively, keep supporting the small businesses and nonprofits that make our community strong, and keep making work we’re proud to put our name on.
Thank you to the Excellence Awards team, to our clients and partners, and to everyone in Corona and beyond who has cheered us on. I’m so grateful.
If you’ve been thinking about a new brand, website or marketing piece, let’s talk. I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
