Happy Monday LinkedIn Fam! I wanted to take a moment and give a special shoutout to Priya Anand owner of Boston Graphic Design Studio, Llc. We met at Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of Commerce Ambassador meeting and instantly felt the positive energy that she exudes. We recently had an awesome 1-on-1 at Lalajava in Northborough and wanted to share a little bit more about her story. Enjoy! Priya Anand is the driving force behind Boston Graphic Design Studio. She uses her creativity and strategic marketing expertise to help small businesses thrive online. Priya is known for her ability to create personalized designs that grab attention and deeply connect with her client's aspirations. She is committed to building strong community connections and fostering growth. Priya works closely with her clients to exceed their expectations, ensuring that each project is meaningful and impactful. ❓ What inspired you to start Boston Graphic Design Studio? ✔My dad's dedication to his optical shop always inspired me while I was growing up. He wasn't just selling glasses but making a real difference in people's lives. That's what I aimed to do in the digital world—make a real impact through design. ❓ How does this influence your work today? ✔It's all about those personal connections. Like my dad's shop, I focus on understanding what our clients need and making sure their digital presence truly represents them. It's not just business; it's personal. ❓Can you share an example of how this approach has helped a client? ✔Of course! We collaborated with a nearby bakery that believed its old-fashioned branding prevented it from growing. We modernized its appearance while staying within its financial means, significantly boosting customer visits and sales. The owner was overjoyed, mentioning that it revived her business and created deeper connections with the local community. ❓What sets you apart in this competitive industry? ✔At Boston Graphic Design Studio, we believe in building strong relationships with our clients through a one-on-one approach and transparent communication. We value our clients as partners in our creative journey, not just another project. ❓What's next for Boston Graphic Design Studio, Llc? ✔We're thrilled to expand our local presence and incorporate the latest technologies to provide exceptional solutions that make our clients shine. ❓If any of my LinkedIn connections are interested in learning more about your work, where can they go for more information? ✔Our website is at https://lnkd.in/eAJWhdYg. It has up-to-date information about our latest projects and provides a way for them to get in touch with us. We always enjoy meeting new people and discovering ways we can assist them!

Meet Larry Blaszak, an M&T Technology Equipment & Sales Team Lead who inspires our team during #EarthMonth and beyond: "Earth Month is a time to spread awareness of the importance of the planet’s conservation. In my role at M&T Bank, I recondition technology to either reuse, re-market, donate, or recycle, thus decreasing landfill waste and reducing our carbon footprint. This year’s Earth Month theme, Planet vs. Plastics, is a great reminder that plastic is a durable product that does not decompose quickly. It is not biodegradable; thus, when disposed, it poses a great danger to life. A process that has been used to dispose of plastics, burning the product produces harmful gases and adds to the ozone layer destruction." #sustainability #planetvsplastics
