We understand that your brand is more than a logo. It involves a creative and systematic plan to solve a problem or achieve certain objectives, using images, symbols, or even words. With over 20 years of experience in visual communication and the aesthetic expression of concepts and ideas, we’ll help you develop a cohesive, intentional brand strategy to deploy across all platforms and collateral. We’ll also suggest the tools you need to manage your platforms and help you learn how to use them.
Diane Barkeij Fokas // designer
I thrive on all things visual and love what I do: creating intentional and impactful visual solutions for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and corporations, combining my talents with an international network of specialty partners.
I believe that good design can improve lives, creating stronger communities and a brighter future. In working together, I’ll recommend the tools you need and learn how to use them.
Real connections foster success; I prefer to meet in person to hear your story and then discuss and define the scope of your project.
I live and work in New York’s beautiful Hudson River Valley. I grew up in the Netherlands and frequently travel to Europe to visit family and friends. When I’m not designing, I recharge my creativity by hiking & biking with friends in the Shawangunk Mountains.
If you have any requests or questions, please feel free to send me a message.
"Every great endeavor begins with a vision. Whether you're launching a new business, kicking off a fresh campaign, or racing to meet a critical deadline, knowing where to start can be the hardest part. No matter the goal, how you tell your story can be the key to standing out and making an impact."
What clients have to say
“DOEN CREATIVE was instrumental in helping to market and brand our businesses. Diane created the logo for both of my restaurants and in record time. After meeting about our concepts and ideas she not only collaborated well but nailed it in the first batch of options. Both times with both businesses! Her knowledge and ideas with branding are invaluable and she makes the process of ordering seamless. Diane handled our signage, flags, business cards, t-shirts, rack cards, etc. Any move I make with branding and such I go straight to DOEN CREATIVE because she is bright, talented, reasonably priced and super quick and efficient. The turn around time for a project is unbelievably quick. Do not hesitate to reach out to her for graphics! ”
