At Buris Chalmers, graphic design is at the core of what we do. With decades of experience, we create clear, purposeful visuals across advertising, branding, websites, and outreach materials. From logos and brand identities to print, digital, signage, social media, and web design, we help organizations tell authentic stories and reach their audiences effectively—while managing production details and vendor relationships to ensure consistency and impact at every level.
A fundamental opportunity for staff and stakeholder communications where participants build a thoughtful plan and design an organizational roadmap that answers questions, meets challenges, identifies specific steps and helps an organization meet its goals.
We offer trainings for facilitators, help to build agendas and also offer community process design as needed.
Trained by staff members of IDEO (a global design and innovation company), we are capable of facilitating “creative engineering” processes for groups.
Buris Chalmers can support organizations as they develop operational plans for events, community processes and annual timelines.
