BTL Designs BarbaraLawrie

My name is Barbara Lawrie and I have
been in the graphic design and printing/
publishing fields for over 40 years. As a
specialist in print design and production,
I love applying my imagination and skill to
producing dynamic materials that clearly
communicate my client’s messages. Combining
creativity with pre-press expertise,
I have made a career of surpassing client
expectations and delivering outstanding
designs on time and within budget.
As a lifelong equestrian, it was my privilege to start
my own design firm in 2005 with the aim to provide
multimedia design to equine related interests. Working
with website designer/programmers, copywriters, and
printers, we create a multi-tiered approach to internet
and print advertising, marketing and membership
communications for associations and businesses in a
wide range of industries. In addition, I work closely with
printing companies to manage the production, proofing,
printing, and fulfillment of our projects.
My clients have described me as proficient, flexible and
easy to work with. My past experience includes managing
substantial annual design and printing budgets,
directing fulfillment activities and supervising creative
staff. My greatest strengths lie in the ability to organize
multiple projects while maintaining consistently high
quality of design throughout each aspect.
My skill set has proven invaluable
with design, production
and fulfillment for print and
online publishing of magazines,
brochures, newsletters, books,
programs, and direct mail
campaigns that provide the
knowledge and creativity to
meet your needs.
My love of publishing, learned
from the ground up on the
newspaper floor designing ads and editorial, dummying
special inserts, burning plates, running presses, collators,
and stitchers, through earning my stripes on full color
magazines, has taught me all aspects of the publishing
world. This extensive knowledge combined growing a
successfulg raphic design firm has coalesced into a
solid understanding of all aspects of the printing and
publishing business.
Whether you are looking for design, production and
fulfillment for magazines (online and print), brochures,
newsletters (email and print), books, programs, and
direct mail campaigns, or website design and maintenance
I am looking forward to working with you!
