As part of your team, we are invested in your success.

After 5 years of working together as design consultants for various clients, Design TLC and DesignPowers have joined forces to create a new company called Nice Work. This name quickly came to us not only because our mothers repeatedly told us, “just be nice,” but also because our long-term clients always tell us how “nice” it is to work with us and that the results are nicely done!

We really enjoy what we do — the best part is getting to learn about your organization and then creating ways to enhance your web presence by: 1) making it easy for your target audience to get your message and interact with your website; and 2) establishing sophisticated visual vocabulary and continuity.

Service is one of the many niceties we provide for our clients. We are timely with requests and answer the phone/emails efficiently and promptly. We listen. We are resourceful problem solvers and offer an individualized approach that meets the needs of each of our unique clients.

We take on limited engagements so that we can give our clients our full attention and really be part of a team.
