The results? Let our clients tell you.
"Every one of Tugboat Design's designs has been a winner for us. His work has a clarity and intelligence that puts the message of the piece center stage, but there's always a twist of humor there too. People often ask us who designs our material, and to me, that's a sure sign that the work is getting noticed."
"Donald Burg has an innate ability to understand the essence of a brand and express it visually. As a collaborator, Donald not only generates ideas but also stimulates others to think creatively about their challenges. Although he has a strong design aesthetic, his work is highly diverse. Rather than reflect a rigid personal style, his portfolio showcases his ability to work with many different kinds of clients to find the best and most appropriate design solutions for them. Having worked with Donald for over 15 years, I recommend him without reservation."
"I've been Donald's biggest fan since I hired him, in his prior life, to be the Creative Director of our NYC office. His wonderfully clean, strategic solutions are both intelligent and brilliant... and he is the ultimate professional... saving my back side on some really tough assignments."
"Donald Burg is thoughtful and highly skilled. Every time we've collaborated, his designs have over-delivered."
