PHDS Services
The Patrick Houston Design Studio is a full-service design studio, plus a whole lot more.
Graphic design has always been at the heart of what I do, but when I claim that PHDS is a full-service plus a whole lot more design studio, I mean that I do much much more than just graphic design.
In my 25+ years as an advertising and marketing professional, I have been intimately involved all aspects of the marketing industry.
I have been part of teams that have planned, developed, designed and deployed highly successful strategic marketing campaigns for international, national, regional and local clients.
I have broad and deep experience in the banking, healthcare, retail, information services, transportation, manufacturing industries – and many others that I won’t bother to list.

- Strategic planning & development

- Campaign design & deployment

Anything you can think of really. In my 25+ years as a graphic designer, I have samples of virtually everything you could imagine, only a tiny fraction of which is represented on this site.

- E-commerce site design, development & deployment

Anything you can think of really. In my 12+ years as a digital designer, I have samples of virtually anything you could imagine, only a tiny fraction of which is represented on this site.
The “& development” part of that list is important. It means that not only do I design digital media, I program it as well. They are two very different skills.
Allow me be clear about something – I am not a coding master. I do however, know people who are.
While I am fluent in html, css, php, java, jquery and more, there are times when it is more cost effective for us both to hire people with master coding skills. I have associates that I trust and regularly partner with for advanced programming under my direction.
For most of that list I do provide basic level services, but for master level service it is often best that we hire a specialist. I have associates that I trust and regularly partner with for these types of services.
Offerings I have access to:
- TV & Radio production
- Copywriting & content development
- Search engine optimization & marketing, social media design & consulting
- Public relations & strategic communications
- Database design & application programming
- Media planning & buying
- Whathaveyou, miscellaneous, etcetera
Anything you can think of really. In my 25+ years as a marketing professional, I have contacts and associates in virtually any marketing discipline you could imagine. People I know well and trust to do a good job.
The bottom line
If I can’t do it myowndamnself, I have someone that I have worked with and trust to do an outstanding job on your behalf – most of who have broad and deep Advertising Agency experience.
Hiring the Patrick Houston Design Studio is a good place to start if you need Advertising Agency quality work at freelance prices.
