My Work
Let me create or promote your brand
Karen Bechtel
There’s a reason why I’ve been a graphic designer for so long — I love making you “look good doing what you were born to do.” You dedicate your time and energy into what you love, and you deserve to be recognized by your target market.
In my roles as a contracted, independent, or associate designer, I have taken on projects of all kinds. This allows me to tap into all of the experience I’ve accrued through the years.
I’m a problem-solver and a hard-worker that values your goals for success.
I stand out by making my clients stand out.
I know you have something unique to offer your market and it’s my job to promote that in a magnetic, creative, and effective way.

What My Customers Know About Me
I’ve worked for many advertising agencies through the years and when I arrived at the Standard-Examiner I was surprised and excited to find, as a newspaper, that we could provide agency quality creative to our clients simply because of Karen. I gave minimal direction with no conceptual thoughts and Karen consistently overdelivered. With Karen, I didn’t just get an awesome design, I got multiple designs and concepts. The amazing thing is that I never asked for them but I get at least 3 in a campaign-like style from which the client can choose! Karen is also extremely easy to work with which is incredibly refreshing in and of itself. I have managed many creative departments in the past and she is one of the few people that I can honestly say gets it. She does her best to deliver what she believes the clients wants/needs, and if they don’t like it, she doesn’t take it personally. She just keeps plugging away until they get what they want. Ego NEVER gets in the way. Simply amazing. I’m a sales manager and Karen’s work has not only increased my sales but has allowed me to offer agency quality services to customers. In short, Karen is a gem and an asset to any company that strives to over deliver terrific creative to their customers.

Karen has provided me with web design, graphic design, and printing services consistent with our branding initiatives. She provides an out-of-the box approach and consultive style with focus on quality and overall customer satisfaction.

Her responsiveness and professionalism have been proven success factors, and I would highly recommend Karen.

Karen transformed my conceptual idea and unorganized pictures into a touching and beautiful video that was truly the pinnacle of my daughter’s graduation weekend. Somehow she managed to capture all my love for my daughter and package it with music and artistry. It touched every single family member far beyond my expectations. Saying thank you is hardly an adequate expression of gratitude.

If you want amazing for your logo – contact Karen! When I created my company – I did not hesitate to call Karen since her previous work has been absolutely brilliant! Before she started, she took the time to figure out what my mission statement so she could capture my business essence. Karen even helped me capture the right Tag line! I have had nothing but complements on the colors, style & look of my logo. Thank you Karen!
We have had the privilege of Karen’s work through Total Life Designs since the beginning of 2009. We have been incredibly satisfied with her work. Karen’s ability to capture the essence of the message one wants to create is amazing. Her attention to detail is outstanding. If anyone want a true creative genius working on their projects Karen is the person. Having needed fliers, cards, banners, etc created for our community awareness and fundraising activities, I must say I have come across no one with such ability. I, without any hesitation, highly recommend Karen for any and every graphics design need. If examples are needed I would be more than happy to provide copies of the work she’s done for Christians Overcoming Cancer.
Karen has developed the logos & websites for two of our businesses. She is professional, insightful, creative and very responsive. She applies her broad range of experience in a manner that is conscientious, helpful, energetic and highly accountable. I would strongly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a creative professional whose work represents a wonderful value.
