We help nonprofit organizations communicate more successfully. For over 20 years we have worked with clients on research, marketing strategy, and the implementation of campaigns to raise awareness and visibility, inspire donors, and increase understanding.

Our Staff

Dan Woychick

Principal and Creative Director
dan@woychickdesign.com

Dan is a creative strategist and devoted family man with 20+ years experience helping non-profit organizations communicate more effectively. He earned a BFA in Art from the University of Idaho, and is a past president of AIGA Minnesota. Dan possesses a remarkable ability to recall phone numbers without use of a Rolodex. His work has been recognized in local and national competitions and publications, and on his Mom’s refrigerator.

Claire Napier

Designer
claire@woychickdesign.com

Claire is a native of Illinois who moved north to buy a new winter coat. She will be retiring from design and forming a band as soon as she learns to play an instrument or carry a tune. Until then, she likes to measure things in picas and obsess over the scandalous exploits of Rod Blagojevich. Claire holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois.

Buster

Chief Morale Officer
 

Buster was a brown-and-white dog of indeterminate parentage. His responsibilities included grumbling at the mail carrier, dancing in the window when we returned from meetings, and keeping the couch warm. Though normally mild-mannered, his separation anxiety-induced fits of pique may one day be cause for scientific study. Buster was 16 years old when he died on September 4, 2010. Photo

Working With Us

Our work is characterized by rigorous inquiry that helps us form a more holistic view of the organizations we work with. We believe that capturing the essence of each organization requires a deep understanding of its people and traditions. In so doing, we help each client better fulfill their mission.

Our depth of experience in non-profit marketing is demonstrated in our work, our methods, and our results. We get results because:

  • Our experience working with non-profit organizations helps us to understand their challenges and recognize opportunities.
  • We ask the right questions so that recommendations are based on context, not conjecture.
  • We are experienced in guiding clients from Point A to Point B – and helping them define what Point A and Point B are.
  • We help our clients tell compelling stories that are designed to reach specific audiences.
  • We are skilled at translating themes, graphics, and messages from one application to another, maximizing each medium.

We assemble teams of skilled people to respond to the challenges of each project we work on.

As needed, we draw on the talents of experienced marketing strategists, researchers, programmers, developers, and social media experts. This business model allows us to stay nimble, listen to what our clients need, and maximize the budget.
