Who do they think they are?
Kim Tackett and Steve Barbaria have been providing strategic design services to businesses and organizations in Northern California for 30 years. We managed a mid-sized studio in Sacramento for 25 years, and recently reinvented Tackett+Barbaria as a two-person firm. Our current studio is located in Davis, California, where we focus on smart work that is produced efficiently, bringing creative solutions to our clients.
We're well-versed in processors, packaging, and even poverty. We work with high-tech, green building, environmental engineering firms, and nonprofits challenged to meet the needs of the poor. We seek opportunities to make a difference with clients who want to change their communications, and even the world.
Think first. Then draw on experience.
Before we ever start a project, we think about action, audience, environment, competition and opportunities. We ask your patience while we ask some questions. And then we craft new ways to design and deliver your message, to get others to take the leap with you.
We offer three types of services: design, marketing consulting and editorial illustration. We are also pathfinders, mapmakers, storytellers, and once in a while, the cleanup crew.
Take a look. And then give us a call. Let's see what kinds of powerful changes we can create together.
