Greetings One and All!

Hello, I'm Rich Sprague ... a graphic designer, salesman and computer buff (not geek, thank you).

I appreciate you visiting my site and for taking a few moments to look at my work. I take a lot of pride in what I do and I put a lot of heart and soul into every project.

I have been in the design field for more than 50 years, thus I have a portfolio of hundreds, if not thousands, of projects ranging from simple business cards and ads, to brochures and sales booklets, to annual reports, catalogs and visitor guides, as well as a nice selection of websites.

For the first 35 years of my career, I was an accomplished specialist in print design and production, an area in which I still excel. However, I am an ambitious visionary who has made a full migration from print to web. And I have a penchant for taking every project to the next level. I my mind, each new project has to be better than my last one.

I have chosen, here, to highlight my web work as I am focusing my efforts towards producing high quality sites for small businesses.

Also, I am currently a candidate for my Master's degree in Fine Arts in Web Design & New Media from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. There are significantly more skills involved in web design than simply designing a pretty website and creating a basic presence on the internet, and I am eager to learn so I can provide my clients with the best and most thorough and complete service possible.

Please call me at 866.997.2241, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , if you would like to learn more about what I can do to help your business.

You'll find my rates are very affordable, too.
