AAD is the Gold Standard for Nonprofit Clients

Finding the right graphic designer for a nonprofit or school is an important decision. As one client explained: “I found AAD when I googled graphic designers for nonprofits in SF Bay Area. The brief phone call to Alexander was one of the most important phone calls I made that year. We hired AAD to completely upgrade the quality of our marketing and fundraising material. We were able to achieve a dramatic increase in donations in our fall appeal letter. AAD also designed our annual report and helped us with strategy and content, guiding every step of the way. In our office, AAD is the gold standard that we use to evaluate all vendors. I only wish I had made that phone call years ago!” With over three decades of experience of working with nonprofits, universities, schools, and corporations located in Silicon Valley, AAD offers creative and compelling visual solutions — on time and within budget.
