Traher Design is Elissa Traher (me) plus whatever creative talent it takes to get the job done. Solving things is my thing. Graphic design is how I do it. Elegantly, with grace and humor. If I can’t solve something, I probably know who can. I work with brilliant designers, coders, illustrators, videographers, production talent-as-needed. Lots of extra problem-solving bandwidth.What kinds of projects do I work on? DIGITAL: Web design, interactive and all that jazz.IDENTITY: Logos to letterhead to large building signage, from print to digital communications, brand creation from the ground up.ADVERTISING AND PRINT DESIGN: From concept to final product, photoshoot to Photoshop, whatever it takes to achieve large and complicated or small and detailed projects. WAYFINDING: getting people from A to B is a fascinating combination of understanding the user experience and having a solution for every likely wrong turn. A really fun challenge. USER EXPERIENCE: wayfinding in the digital space. It's very satisfying to make something both look and work much better.EVENTS: I love events! From invitations to trade show booths, creating buzz, making a client stand out in a crowd, making people think they just HAVE to come, and making sure guests have a really good time.MORE: The most interesting thing I ever worked on? There have been so many...The Water.org bottle designed overnight that Matt Damon displayed on Letterman? The lenticular lens “winky”​ effect on the 3-D brochure? The vinegar cruet for the 3-D printer tour? Last words: I get along well. With clients, with staff, with client’s staff. With vendors. The harder a project gets, the more the humorous angles stick out. Some study proved when you can laugh, your problem-solving creative skills are greatly enhanced. I buy that.
