Specializing in brand development and interactive design solutions that work, our team is comprised of innovative and committed people whose collective experience, creative energy and commitment to customer service are the driving forces behind our company’s success.

•     Laurie Paquette: Principal & Design Director

  
  If Laurie had one goal, it would be to organize the world. She likes nothing more than taking seemingly disparate pieces of information and melding them into a cohesive, easily understood message. There is nothing better than that “A-HA” moment when a client gets to see their ideas come to fruition and know that they have a great new brand. Working with creative, innovative people all day long makes her jump out of bed in the morning to see what we get to create today.

•     Peter Donnellan: Principal & Director of Marketing

  
  Peter brings to Black Dog Creative Group a lifetime of creativity, imagination and attention to detail that will make your image sparkle. Over a decade working in every aspect of the Resort Hotel Industry coupled with a lifetime in Sales and Marketing, Peter has a wealth of experience in Customer Care and Satisfaction, and brings a keen eye and ear to discerning Client needs and making ideas/visions/dreams come alive.

•     Amanda Bowden: Director of Client Communication

  
  Amanda is an Arizona State graduate who considers herself a perfectionist and artisan of words. She is new to graphic and web design, but is a highly skilled communicator.

•     Poop: Mascot & Ethics Commissioner

  
  So my Mom was working and working but not really happy about it. It had the trickle down effect and I didn’t like it. I was always there with her. I took my early morning, mid morning, late morning, early afternoon, mid afternoon and late afternoon naps while she toiled away. Most people thought I was just being lazy. Oh contraire! I was trying to telepathically show her that she should follow her dream and do work that she wants. Then, I told her, it won’t even be work but fun! She finally came to her senses and life has been great ever since. Just goes to show you – dreams do come true.
