Colleen Eakins Design is a minority-owned business, based in Atlanta that provides graphic and web design solutions for clients locally and beyond. About Colleen: Hi. I’m Colleen Eakins (Call-leen A-kins)… and you probably want to know a little more about me. My educational background is in both graphic design and marketing. I received my undergraduate bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in graphic design and obtained my MBA with a concentration in Marketing from AIU-Dunwoody (Atlanta, GA). I approach design from a marketing perspective and often ask, “anyone can make a pretty picture, but is it effective?” I feel if it will not convert to sales, clients, etc., then it is worthless. My understanding of marketing plays a key role in my design and allows me to create pieces that no only look good, but are effective.
