About Us

Bump Design knows you get one chance to make a good first impression, and that there is no better way than to do it visually with graphic design. Denise Bump founded Bump Design in 1995, after eight years of working for various well-respected marketing and advertising firms. Her experience includes elements of strategic planning, concept development, program execution, production management, and more.

Bump Design Today

Currently, we spend our time working closely with a broad spectrum of clients to meet their marketing needs using strategic concept development and graphic design. Because Bump Design is not a high-volume production shop, we serve a small number of clients at a very personal level. Our goal is to learn everything we can about your business and to be your partner — an extension of your marketing department rather than just another vendor.

Working with Bump Design means that you are working directly with the owner, and she knows that when it comes to marketing, one size doesn't fit all. Our broad spectrum of clients ranges from financial organizations to medical professionals, from retail companies to nonprofit organizations. Let us take the time to understand your needs so we can hit your target with every solution.

About the Owner

A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Denise Bump has a strong background in fine art. However, her real expertise, developed through years of experience, is in strategic planning, concept development, and commercial production techniques. Just take a look at what past clients have had to say:

Denise has done more to help me grow my business than any other person or company I've ever done business with. Denise understands marketing/messaging/branding, and she is very creative. She also has the technical skills to translate everything into a product that will help your business. I receive positive comments almost on a weekly basis by clients who say something like, ‘I hired you because I liked your advertising’ which was created by Denise. Not only does Denise deliver outstanding product(s), she is also extremely responsive and converts your needs/ideas into products very quickly, and at a price that is very reasonable.

I cannot say enough about Denise Bump and her capabilities. I have worked closely with her for many years and have delivered award-winning materials to clients through this partnership. I rely on her for more than graphic design — she assists from concept to completion on my projects and I consider her a trusted partner.

Denise has been working with Crisis Control for several years and designing our general and volunteer brochures, annual report, and Hope du Jour materials.
