owner, graphic design, marketing. and coaching business
 * 1986-1996 Daggett Design, Inc.**

At the beginning of this business venture I attended the LCC Small Business Development Center Three Year Small Business Management Program. Their comprehensive strategic planning program for business owners enabled me to launch a very successful enterprise which I actively pursued for 10 years. In 1995 I returned to school and began to limit the amount of work I was accepting as my education and new career requirements increased. I kept the business minimally active until 2007 when the corporation was dissolved.

In addition to graphic design work I also taught graphics and computer classes for small business owners at Lane Community College as well as offering customized individual and group coaching for professionals at their place of business.

These two newsletters are an example of the wide range of styles provided depending on the marketing strategies of each individual business and who their target audience was.
