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.

Wendy is extremely talented at what she does and an absolute pleasure to work with! Being in marketing, I am sometimes hard pressed to find a creative that has a solid grasp on the big picture business objectives when applying design concepts. Wendy has a refreshingly well-rounded mix of being very detail oriented while staying on target with big picture objectives. I give the highest recommendation for Wendy and Pink Olive Design.

I was privileged to work with Wendy while at Bayou Bucks Magazine. She is a highly skilled designer with excellent attention to detail. Wendy is a gifted artist, without the artist’s ego. Whether a creative vision all her own or a collaborative effort, her work is always delivered on time and with polish. I have worked with other designers, and Wendy is simply the best.

Pink Olive Design designed my wedding invitations and they turned out great!! They were so creative and everyone loved them! Wendy is great to work with, very professional and personal…I would definitely hire her again.

Wendy of Pink Olive Design was great at helping me design my logo as well as my brochures and business cards. I am more than happy with the work she has done. She was very patient with my indecisiveness and helped me find what was best for my target audience. I will gladly use her services again and I highly recommend her to any one needing any graphic design services.

I’d highly recommend Wendy of Pink Olive Design. We’ve worked with a lot of designers and she’s absolutely the very best. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Great designers are precious!

I have worked with Wendy for about 5 years now. In that time I have seen many of her graphic designs and their varying applications. Wendy has the ability to relate to a diverse range of subject matters from baseball trading cards to couture baby clothing. In each project she keeps visual aesthetic, functionality, and effective communication to the respective demographic of equal importance. She is capable of turning around a high quality design within demanding deadlines without compromising any of the fore mentioned elements. Her warm sense of humor and passion for good design also make her a joy to work with. I highly recommend Wendy’s work and consider her a person of strong character. She would be a valuable asset to any graphic design project.

Wendy stepped on board mid-stride in April 2012, and her talents were felt immediately. She built the entire magazine each month. While she’s not a hunter, she adapted well to our philosophies and culture. Working handily with Matthew Debnam, Managing Editor and our sales team each month to create editorial content and build ads, Wendy always went above and beyond what we asked of her, surprising us with things she contributed. Her professionalism and thoroughness were a blessing.

Wendy is an excellent team player, driven and has a great design style. I was always impressed with her ability to manage multiple projects at one time – always hitting her deadlines. At Upper Deck, change is the norm and Wendy was so willing to roll with the changes and not it let it affect her attitude or her final designs. She is a great communicator and formed strong relationships with her peers. She always asked the right questions and never hesitated to get her peers advice, and others seem to gravitate to Wendy as well and she was always willing to help and teach others. All in all Wendy is a 10, I would want her as a member of my team on any day, she is a true professional who takes pride in her work and is a diligent employee.

It is an honor to recommend Pink Olive Design for any project. Wendy is creative, efficient, prompt, works well under pressure and always puts out quality work. I have referred her to a number of my clients and every one of them has expressed being more than satisfied with her work. She is good at communicating her time needs and manages her workload effectively. Pay her more than she is asking, because she is humble and will not ask for what she is actually worth.
