ABOUT

WHO I AM

I'm Arnie Marten, a military veteran with a BA in Graphic Design and Media Arts (Web Design concentration) and a passion for giving back to my community. My military background instilled in me a "can do attitude" and commitment to serving others, which now drives my mission to support small family-owned businesses and nonprofits through donated design and development expertise. I believe that great design shouldn't be limited to those who can afford premium services—every organization, regardless of size or budget, deserves professional, strategic support.

With expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, XD, InDesign), HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and modern web technologies, I have the tools to help small businesses and charities succeed in their missions. My years of leading teams and managing complex operations have taught me how to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and deliver polished work that truly makes a difference. I donate my time and skills because I'm committed to helping local organizations build their brands and reach their audiences—whether that's a family restaurant owner, a neighborhood nonprofit, or a growing social enterprise.

I'm deeply committed to user experience, brand strategy, and responsive design that serves real community needs. Whether I'm helping a local family business develop their digital presence, supporting a charity's fundraising efforts through compelling design, or building accessible websites that expand an organization's reach, I'm focused on creating work that's strategic, beautiful, and impactful. I'm seeking partnerships with small family-owned and locally-based businesses and charitable organizations where I can donate my expertise and help your mission reach more people. If you're a small business owner or nonprofit leader looking for professional design support without the corporate price tag, I'd love to work with you.
