What our clients say:
As president of the Roamin Angels Car Club of Grass Valley, CA, I have worked closely with Diane Blakley by interacting with her on running our website, preparing our montly newsletter, maintaining email communication with the club and running the Artistans’ Faire at our annual car show. My experience with the service industry is not confined to being president of a car club. I ran a successful business for over twenty years in Southern California. In that time I worked with many businesses that ran the gamut from talented to totally incompetent. I would catagorize Diane Blakley in the high end of the “talented” group. She is able and friendly, displaying not only ability but the “people skills” needed for running a small business. (read more...)

Diane Blakley Designs is an design agency specializing in working with small businesses and individual ventures. Formerly Barry & Blakley Assoc., Inc., the company was started in 1996 by Susan Barry and Diane Blakley. The focus? To assist the entrepreneur with the presentation, advertising and promotion of their endeavor.

In December 2008, Susan retired from the company to pursue her own artistic endeavors. Her path is now focused on her art, promoting art through her classes and workshops as well as the various projects such as the John Muir Childrens Camp in Martinez. This is an exciting endeavor for her as she pursues her art. Please contact her through her website: www.susanbarry.us.

Now, the focus is still the same. Client support and satisfaction with their project. Sometimes what you need is puzzling. This is just a graphic of two puzzle pieces.Diane Blakley and her team is continuing on with the print, web design/development portion of the business as well as the ongoing maintenance and updating of a client's project to help with their success.

Working with small business ventures offers its own set of challenges such as considerations of what is needed or wanted versus the reality of the budget. But with a background in running small businesses, the tendency is to be more creative with the solutions. Whether it's setting up an overall plan from budget to the project implementation or designing a simpler project, every element of the job is important as it represents you and your venture. By exploring the possibilities, a plan is devised that best suits the project and the client.

Good fortune is working with clients who become friends. But that being said, the prevalent belief is 'that business is business' when it comes to a client's time, project and money. If you are considering Diane Blakley Designs for a project, you are encouraged to talk with our clients for reference.

Another piece of the puzzle.The major goal is fitting a client with what they need to succeed and balancing all the parts of a project so that the end result is the best outcome in respect to budget, design, impact and distribution.

Fitting all the pieces together and working towards success doesn't have to be scary.
