Vermont Design Collective is the freelance studio of Jeff Wainer, providing graphic design, website design and branding services. For more than a decade I have helped countless clients craft their brands and hone their appearances, even a few from scratch. I’ve had a lot of success, and for one simple reason. I love what I do. They started Vermont Design Collective as a creative experiment and business venture. I wanted to break free of the “art room” and bring a truly cooperative process to design. I want to interact with people on a personal level to help them realize their vision.
