UPS Does It and So Will I

The dry erase board. What an amazing tool. In an instant, you can create a visual image and just as quickly you can wipe your idea away. UPS has mastered this in their commercials and I have mastered this in my office. I have multiple boards, too many markers to count and a “do not touch” rule for my 6 year old who loves to run his fingers across my boards and erase my newest marketing strategies.

I am not a graphic designer. I am a dry erase board designer. With the swipe of a marker, I create the ideas and information I want to share with you. Is it always pretty? No. Is it effective? I hope you think so.
