Great creative. Quick turnaround. Flexible fees. Since 1996.
What makes us unique.
First of all, we’re NOT a “full-service” marketing and advertising agency, and have never strived to be. What do we do? Graphic design…plain and simple. And we’ve been working with colleges and universities for over 25 years, so we have tons of experience.
There’s certainly a place for big agencies and the services that they provide. But that also comes with many layers (account executives, marketing strategists, etc.) which adds to overall project costs…when all you’re really looking for is great design, with quick turnaround at a reasonable price.
We realize that budgets vary from one school to another, so we work with clients on an individual basis to come up with the best design solution at the best price. We offer monthly retainer agreements which provide significant cost savings and are beneficial in more ways than one, including no add-on charges for revisions. The bottom line — when working with us, you’ll find that we’re about as flexible as it gets.
Lastly, you’ll deal with one person from start to finish. From initial project review and pricing, through the entire design process, to final art and billing — one person all the way — no ‘middle man’.
What our clients have to say…
“I've been working with John since I started with Maryland Athletics in 2013. Since that time we've personally collaborated on hundreds -- maybe even thousands -- of design projects. His design expertise is undeniable; that's easy to see. But he's also easy to work with, professional, responsive, and willing to sacrifice his nights and weekends to hit deadlines, which happens a lot in our industry. Maryland Athletics would not be where it is today without John. Most importantly, though, he is a great person. In an industry where your colleagues are more or less your family, it's hard to overstate how important that is.”
— Jordan Looby, Assistant AD - Marketing Strategy & Fan Experience
University of Maryland Athletics
“I have never worked with a better graphic designer and this is why my relationship with Schaffhauser Design spans more than 20 years. John always produces stunning, high-quality work in a timely and professional fashion and has elevated the brand no matter where I’ve worked. I highly recommend him.”
— Dave Haglund, Commissioner
Great Northwest Athletic Conference
“John’s work is vital to the success of Surprise Stadium and our partners at the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers. His ability to blend many visual identities to create one unified look has helped to elevate our brand and the effectiveness of our message. Beyond his excellence in graphics, John’s dedication to his customers is second to none, from meeting tight deadlines to providing creative solutions, we could not be more thankful for what he does for Spring Training baseball.”
— Joe Bertoletti, Sr. Associate Director, Sports & Tourism
City of Surprise, AZ
“John does outstanding graphic design work year-round for the Allstate Sugar Bowl for a extensive range of media format needs — both print and digital. He’s great at providing a wide variety of design styles and options, and maybe even more importantly, he’s extremely responsive. There's never any doubt that deadlines will always be met.”
— John Sudsbury, Director of Media Relations and Communications
Allstate Sugar Bowl
“I have been working with John now for over 15 years and am at a loss of words for how to express my extreme gratitude and satisfaction with his work. He is always reliable and timely — even when I am not — and is a pro at paying attention to the details. I absolutely recommend his services at the highest level.”
— Carrie Blankenship, Sr. Associate AD - External Operations
University of Maryland Athletics
“John has done an outstanding job designing Georgetown Athletics fundraising materials for many years. He is always responsive, works quickly, and pays great attention to detail on every project. The assets John creates for us have always performed well and they often attract praise from internal staff, coaches, student-athletes, and donors. I think his portfolio speaks for itself and I can’t recommend John highly enough. He’s a tremendous partner who always enhances our fundraising efforts.”
— Britton Thomas, Assoc. Director, Marketing
