PROMOTING BUSINESS GROWTH THROUGH VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS
About Us
Bean Design got their start back in 1997. While finishing up a degree in fine arts at Appalachian State University, owner, Brian Bean purchased his first business license and started selling photographic prints on the streets of Boone, NC. The business was born as Bean Images. Shortly thereafter Brian took a position as a photography assistant and relocated to Hickory, NC. Bean Images continued to flourish over the next few years as they gained a new and exciting client base. Around the year 2000 Bean Images was reborn into who we are today Bean Design. With our first corporate account under our belt we continued to grow and develop new skill sets to better serve our ever-changing client base.
Since the inception of our business we have worked with many clients in a wide array of markets. These challenges of working within different markets has given us the flexibility and knowhow to work with just about any client; whether they are a small start up or a well established corporation. We understand the needs and concerns of both – we’ve been there…
We have experience working in the Technology Industry, Finance Markets, Sports Promotion, Dental/Medical, Business to Business and Business to Consumer markets to name a few. With our vast experience we feel confident that we can provide a great service to just about any business.

Whether you are a small business or international corporation, we’ve got you covered
SMALL BUSINESS:
Whether you are a start up business in need of the “basics” or an established business to consumer type organization we can provide all of your marketing and advertising needs. As a small business ourselves we know that your marketing dollars are very important. The most common question we get asked is “What’s your hourly rate?” Well we price our work by the job not by the hour, in-turn this allows us to adjust the amount of time spent on a project to fit the small business budget.
On the other hand if you need the full team on board to make your campaign creative and effective then we can most certainly do that too! The point is that no matter what your budget, we can more than likely meet both your budget and your marketing desires.
CORPORATE CLIENTS:
We understand that you needed it yesterday!
We primarily work for corporations, both regional and international. We work both on our own, as well as, part of the corporate marketing team. We even go so far as to work one on one with individual product mangers, sales teams or whomever the project is directed towards.
We offer a quick turnaround on most projects and give precedence to our contract corporate clients. We’ll take on any job that your internal staff doesn’t have time for or just doesn’t want to do. From simple product specification sheets to full product line catalogs we can handle most anything you throw our way!

Clients Talk
Barking Dog Communications worked with Bean Design to create a recruitment brochure for the Bobby Isaac Motorsports Program, a project with limited budget and resources. Not only did Brian bring both creativity and integrity to his work, but he also looked outside the box to provide effective solutions within the project’s limitations. Needless to say, the client was thrilled with the final product and has already seen results from it. I was so pleased with the whole process, from concept through delivery, that I‚m already working with Brian on a project for another client!

Bean Design has been amazing! When we first started our new branding efforts I didn’t know what to expect but they walked us through every step. The new identity program that they put into place has gotten rave reviews from our customers. They have since done all of our advertising, packaging and now are working on our new web presence. Anything that we have needed they have provided. They are easy to work with and answer all of our questions…even the dumb ones.
