About Douglas Tait
Principal & Design Consultant
TaitDesign®
PROFESSIONAL
I am a consultant who provides messaging and communications design services for a range of companies and nonprofit organizations. My practiced approach to implementing strategies and understanding client objectives assure that solutions are reached with the intended results of affecting a positive outcome.
My services are always client-sided, targeted, and strategic — it’s what I bring to every solution. Let’s work together.
SOLID & SEAMLESS
Don’t sweat the details. That’s my job. My hands-on services inherently include managing every project effectively and efficiently from concept to completion.
I save clients both time and resources. I reduce risk by recommending where to invest — and where not to spend — clients’ valuable resources. I know where the pitfalls are.
As one Executive Communications Director said to a colleague, ‘Just call Douglas, he’ll take care of it.’
VALUE & TRUST
It’s my attitude of professionalism and dedication that is valued and trusted by those who engage my services.
Not only do I bring effective communications design to client teams, but I also provide the historical knowledge, experience, and practice with today’s implementation skills required to get projects completed on time and within budget.
I bring results. I always have. I always will.
