 Linda
Graceffo started Sparkling Graphics in
the fall of 2003. She brings to the graphic design
industry a wealth of experience and education. She is a graduate
from the Graphic Design for Print and Web Program at Excel Career
College. Also, in 2000, she graduated from North Island College
where she took Administrative Office Management.
Linda discovered she was good
at envisioning the end result of a project, whether it be a website,
flyer, brochure, photo
restoration, book cover design, or something as simple as a business
card. See some examples of Linda's graphic design work for small
business professionals here. It
is the excitement of creating or recreating a branding identity
for the customer that enticed Linda to start up her own home-based
graphic design business which has now expanded to a professional
office in downtown Courtenay. Map
to Sparkling Graphics. Small
businesses are not foreign to Linda, since 1995 she has been co-owner
of Red Sky Fishing Co. Ltd. and does the administrative and bookkeeping
for this commercial fishing company.
The
future is bright for Linda in the graphic design business because
small business is key to the Comox Valley. With small business,
comes the need to get the business out there and known. This
is where Linda shines with her people and graphic
design skills to help the customer create an image uniquely their
own. Linda is a member of The
Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce and Downtown
Courtenay BIA.
What people are saying:
"Linda has designed
many pieces for me and it’s always a pleasure working with
her. She has great ideas, is able to capture the intent of the project,
and has the professional skills to do the job. Her turn-around time
from concept to printed piece is amazingly fast and I look forward
to working with her on a continuing basis."

“I am so lucky to have found
Linda at Sparkling Graphics! In a sea of self publishing confusion,
Linda's expertise and experience were invaluable. She struck the
perfect balance between providing honest advice and allowing for
personal preferences during the design process. I would recommend
Linda for anyone who is on the self publishing journey- don't try
to do it yourself! She will save you weeks of work, time and energy
and you will be more than happy with the finished product.” -Book
cover and inside book design. Sarah Seads, Equilibrium
Lifestyle Management. Courtenay, BC
"Linda is a talented graphic artist who is
sensitive to small business needs. As a marketing consultant for
nearly 25 years, I have worked with many artists. Linda is one of
the easiest to work with and was clearly receptive to a collaborative
approach. She is a professional with whom I look forward to working
on many projects."
