About: As a five-year-old in Mrs. Anderson’s art class, Pamela knew what she would be when she grew up. Although she didn’t know that this job or career even existed! She was sure she would become an artist.
After getting a Communication Arts degree in Rochester, NY Pamela headed south to warmer Decembers and began her career in Atlanta as an art director for a small design firm. After several years, she left to persue a freelance career and opened Fischer|Grulke Studio, collaborating with commercial photographer husband Bruce Grulke.
All these years later, as a graphic designer and marketing communications specialist, Pamela provides creative services to Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, entrepreneurs and non-profits. Her 40 years of design expertise allows for thoughtful and creative solutions. Starting with initial concepts through the layout and design process and final print production, Pamela oversees a project from start to finish – from concept sketches to production of a bound 150-page book. She works to carry themes across many avenues of both digital and print materials, producing annual reports, print collateral, brand development, advertising, direct mail, e-newsletters, trade show graphics and slide presentations. Always with a creative eye and attention to detail, her process is proactive to ensure projects proceed as smoothly as possible.
An integral part of the process is providing personal service, and Pamela actively listens to each client to understand their objectives and develops materials that communicate the message with a visual identity that is consistent and targeted to their specific audience. Whether a new business logo development, a simple re-branding or just a design refresh, she considers the client's budget and works to make sure the final solution is as effective as possible.
Solving problems graphically and creatively, her designs convey a clear message. She loves the challenge of the puzzle: gathering a jumble of information and directives, collecting photographic images, developing unique illustrations or icons, concepting ideas as sketches and providing a final solution. A final design that leads the viewer, effectively tells a story – and is visually beautiful.
