On the subject of Me
Fabmedia Studios is the creative outlet of Arlen Nielsen. That's me. I'm a freelance designer who's incredibly passionate about typography, colour, and the media and tools of my craft (as well as other things). My small studio office is located just outside of Vancouver, Canada and is where I craft most of my works and drink excessive amounts of coffee.
To put it simply, I love to pick up a pen or a pencil, grab a camera, or push pixels and bring an idea to fruition. Because of this, I gain tremendous satisfaction being able to take that single idea and turning it into a visually compelling and functional work of art and hearing someone say "WOW". Whether it's a logo, website, or a brochure, being able to deliver that something that stands out from the crowd is what makes it all good.
If you want to get in touch, you can do so arlen(at)fabmedia(dot)com. And yes, I'm available for work.
Design is valuable
Sometimes it's hard to define exactly what makes a great brochure, logo, website, etc., but at the heart of it is passion; the main ingredient of the success of any well designed piece. It should be unique to attract attention, clearly state the message, and make someone act up on it. Simple enough… or is it?
In a nutshell, design is something I do so you don't have to. Visually appealing, simple, clean, functional, and well worth your investment. I can meet your needs, by helping you communicate more effectively, which in turn, will increase your bottom line, all while exceeding your expectations.
With me a new project always starts the same way: by asking good questions. It is the key to reaching your goal and make the process of working together as easy as possible. When it comes to budgets, I try to be as accommodating as possible but in the end, I do professional work, and the only charity work I do is for charities. However it is important to me that our relationship whether short term or long term is an enjoyable process and that you will find me personable, easy going, and great to work with.
