Meet diane boichut

With a passion for communications, a penchant for perfection, and a work ethic that's borderline OCD, I've served on many creative, technology and marketing teams to create art and commerce for a wide range of clients. Strategizing, leading, mentoring, analyzing, designing, writing, animating, building...all in a day's work.

As an award-winning multimedia designer specializing in branding and rebranding initiatives since 2002, I've worked with a number of high profile accounts such as The City of Chicago, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Northrop Grumman, Better Homes & Gardens, CareerBuilder, and Prudential Private Capital; recognized brands such as OlaPlex, JellyBelly, Noble Outfitters, and Sfoglini Pasta NYC; as well as a handful of national and regional agencies, and ground-breaking start-ups such as Union Hall Advising, Cappex, and SMS Assist. Prior to that time, I held a Senior Communications Consulting position with Aon - where I specialized in web technologies, and short-form digital video.

From logo, collateral, out-of-home and corporate identity design to web, social and email design/development and best practices, to video editing and compilation...I keep my hands in all things media.

Interestingly and unlike most designers, I began my career as a copywriter; penning for a bevy of accounts in the quick service food and multi-chain theater verticals. It’s this marcom and advertising background (conceptual and analytical) that I believe sets me apart from other designers who may have the creative chops but lack the big picture know-how to make media that does the heavy lifting.
       
As both a marketing designer and communications strategist, I’m responsible for a variety of deliverables and budgets targeting multiple audience levels, sales objectives and bottom-line goals.

client satisfaction is paramount

shout outs

"We can not thank you enough for all of your amazing work. You have created and brought to life the Elevare MD brand! You are truly a master of your craft!"

Kelly DeWolfe, APRN-BC, M.S., Owner, Elevare MD

"I've been working with Diane for many years and I can tell you that she is flat-out the best designer I've ever worked with - and I've worked with a lot. Her aesthetic is always on point. Her attention to detail and level of polish is at the highest level. She brings a true sense of leadership to every project. And her technical skills are way beyond what most designers are capable of delivering. Her value to my business has been immeasurable and I hope to continue to work with her long into the future."

Tim Brennan, Founder, Union Hall Advising

"Diane Boichut has been a fantastic addition and was always a pleasure to work with.  She was used on the toughest of projects and successfully completed each project on time and with a smile.  It was always refreshing to know that she would do whatever it took to get the project done, even if it meant waking up at 3:00am to get an early start to the day.  Diane also added to the culture of the company and was a huge favorite. While I have moved along as well, I will always miss Diane.  She is always welcome to work with any of my teams."

Brian Rogers, Digital Commerce Leader, New Balance

"I want to personally acknowledge that there would've been no way that we'd have completed this (rebranding & website) project without Diane's expert guidance through the entire process. She's been a true partner to me on every step of the journey. Thank you, Diane, from the bottom of my heart for your vision, wisdom and creative talents - which are off the charts. It's a joy working with you every day!"

John Martin, EVP Marketing, SMS Assist, a Pritzker Group Company

"We’ve been extremely pleased with the results from Diane. Her work is top notch. Diane is a good communicator which translates into a very efficient working relationship and higher satisfaction rate from our customer. In addition to providing excellent graphics and solid technical support, she is also good working with people and listening to their concerns. She understands what customer service is all about and we appreciate the contributions she brought to our program."

David W. Hammond, Spiders Program Manager, Northrop Grumman

"Diane is one of the best -- no, I correct myself -- the best web designer with whom I have worked in the past 20 years. She leverages a stunning combination of genuine artistry, commercial applicability, street-smart business sense, and optimism about the potential of business in this challenging age -- but all of  that is topped off by a singular realism about any project she accepts. To sum it up, she knows what she is doing. And I respect that. (I was referred to her by one of her customers, and have  never looked back.)"

Greg Vartanian, Table Top Partners

"Diane is not simply a graphic designer, she is an artistic genius. A consummate professional, Diane beautifully brought to fruition the visions of my mind in a manner that was incredibly creative, thoughtful, and time efficient. She is more than worth every single penny."

Justin Carter, Producer/Show Runner, Breaking & Entering TV

"I knew Diane would design a beautiful website because I had seen her work and was very impressed. What I did not know was that in addition to a first-class web designer, I was also entering into an inspiring creative partnership. What a delight-and relief- it is to work with Diane. The delight part is that she has the technological savvy and experience to produce an accessible and easy-to-navigate site, not only for site visitors, but behind the scenes, for me. Her marketing ideas and execution are brilliant and effective. Her sense of aesthetics and color are remarkable. Her ability to efficiently implement resources to create a quality product is most impressive.

The relief part is that she listens, explains tech requirements in language a non-techie can understand, responds immediately to any changes and ideas, and most of all, is a woman of great integrity. She also is fun and funny and it always makes my day to talk with her."
