Todd Schafer has over 20 years in Graphic Design. Specializing in branding, Todd is a Certified Desktop Publisher, Graphic Designer and Web Developer who has an extensive background in business design and management. In 1994 he partnered with his wife to run a local Apparel company, Amp Wear Santa Cruz. There he created, managed, and designed the Brand Identity, Clothing, Advertising and Marketing.

After hard times in the clothing industry he worked as a Graphic Designer/Sign Maker at a local Trade Show Exhibit Manufacturing company. He then pursued a valuable opportunity as a designer for the Fox Racing Motocross Brand – Shift Division, where he reinvented Shift with a New Brand Identity. After tiring of the commute he moved to Hutton Sherer – Advertising Marketing and Design firm in Santa Cruz, CA, assisting with various advertising projects.

In 2004, with his passion for creating brand identities, he started Schafer Design, a Print, Branding and Website Design company.

Over the last 16 years, I have designed a multitude of items from complete business identities, brochures, magazine and newspaper advertisements, full magazines, book covers, web sites, point of purchase displays, posters, men’s and women’s apparel and much more. I have had brand identities published in the Big Book of Logos 5, a premier reference for top logo designs. I am most passionate about creating a company identity from concept, bringing in my artistic background and seeing the final results of creating the brand experience that will help my clients achieve their goals. Most of my clients are small to medium businesses, non-profits and authors.
