History

Established in 1996.

For seventeen years Sara Nelson Design has produced award-​winning print and web design work. In the last ten years especially that has focused more and more on several specific industries, notably wine, healthcare and agriculture.

Wine label design and winery marketing work specifically has expanded the client base from Washington state (second-​largest number of wineries in the U.S.) to Oregon, California, Texas, Ohio and North Carolina, among others.

Logo, identity and brand design — the company’s initial staple business, continues to be a major component in the mix of projects done by Sara Nelson Design, but a great deal of packaging and recruiting materials work also keeps us busy.

Meet the Business Owner

Sara N.

Business Owner

Sara Nelson began her career working for large corporations in the energy industry. A few years of that convinced her that she’d prefer to work where color choices weren’t restricted to various shades of gray.

The best way to make that happen was to create her own design firm, so she did. In November of 1996, Sara Nelson Design opened its doors.

Actually they were initially the doors of her home. She soon learned that with three small children, she needed an office outside the house if she hoped to ever finish a project.

Sara outgrew several successive offices. Seventeen years later the company includes Illustrator/​Designer Herb Leonhard (fifteen years), Business Manager/​Writer-​Editor Kevin Cole (nine years) and Web/​Print Designer Theresa Woehle (five years).

In 2008 the company crossed the Columbia River from Pasco to Kennewick, but continues to enjoy life in the Tri-​Cities, WA, from which Sara Nelson Design serves clients (literally) across the country.
