WENDY BLUBAUGH

designer. creator. owner

I’m Wendy Blubaugh, a graphic designer and visual communications professional with more than two decades of experience supporting clear, effective public-facing communications.

I work primarily with cities, public agencies, and the teams that serve them—helping translate complex information into clear, accessible design. My work includes long-form reports, community outreach materials, campaign collateral, and data-heavy publications that require structure, consistency, and attention to detail.

In addition to public-agency work, I collaborate with arts and cultural organizations, publishers, non-profits, and mission-driven groups on editorial, marketing, and promotional materials. Regardless of audience or medium, my approach is grounded in listening, clarity, and thoughtful execution.

Clients work directly with me from start to finish, ensuring continuity, accountability, and a consistent design approach throughout each project.
