What Jewelry designer does

Ampersand Graphics is a sole-proprietor graphic design firm founded in 1985 by Suzanne Pease and headquartered at 7 Harbor Road in Morganville, New Jersey. The firm positions itself as a full-service design shop specializing in corporate image management, delivering logo design, corporate identity packages, brochures, advertising, trade show booths, newsletters, architectural renderings, illustrations, book and magazine layouts, plus add-on photography, typesetting, and copywriting services. Project pricing is unit-based, with logo design at $300-500, brochure design at $300-500, and color architectural renderings at $600-1,200, with optional print broker services for project oversight.

The firm serves three primary client segments: startups and small businesses needing initial brand identity work; builders and developers in the building industry requiring architectural renderings, floor plans, and site plans; and established corporations developing full marketing campaigns and ongoing corporate identity management. Customer engagement is direct, sales-led, and primarily regional (Central Jersey and broader New Jersey), driven through the company website, word-of-mouth, and referrals generated via the owner's leadership positions in NAWBO and the Western Monmouth Chamber of Commerce. Named customers span publishing (Bonnie St. John), healthcare (The Healthy Caregiver magazine), and manufacturing (Rotor Clip). The business has been continuously operational for over 38 years and remains privately held with no external investment; the website shows no recent product, pricing, or capability updates beyond 2019, indicating an effectively static operating posture in recent years.
