About

Hello! My name is Paula Dorris. I help organizations bring clarity, consistency, and confidence to how their brand is visually represented.

My work centers on brand identities and visual systems, spanning marketing collateral, websites, and production-ready files that need to be accurate, consistent, and visually compelling. I design with attention to how deliverables are built, shared, updated, and handed off—reducing confusion and unnecessary work down the line.

Paula Dorris designed the logo for my family’s accounting firm, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. She created a design that perfectly reflects who we are—strong, grounded, and reliable—while still feeling approachable and personal. Paula respected our existing brand colors and elevated them with a professional yet warm aesthetic that has received countless compliments from our clients. Her work captured the essence of our firm and continues to make a lasting impression.

Paula is a talented graphic designer who recently helped me refine my logo... She took my existing design and elevated it with her keen eye for detail and strong technical skills. Paula was professional, efficient, and easy to work with throughout the process. She understood exactly what I needed and delivered clean, polished work that perfectly captured my brand. I highly recommend Paula for any graphic design project—she’s skilled, reliable, and a pleasure to collaborate with.
