Craig Miranda of Miranda Design

Craig Miranda has been a Creative Director, Graphic Designer and New Media Developer for over 20 years. He has played the role of Creative Director, Art Director, Web Designer, Programmer, Graphic Designer and Photographer for some of the best Los Angeles, California agencies before starting Miranda Design in 1995. Unlike most traditional Graphic Designers, he also has a thorough knowledge of programming and works fluently in HTML-5, CSS, Javascript, AJAX, PHP, Actionscript and mySQL. This ability allows him to fulfill the role of Interactive Designer and Interactive Developer. He considers this a vital part of maintaining the integrity and functionality of the design all the way from the conceptual phase to the coding phase. Even when working with a full scale design and development team, he is very hands on and drives the process at all levels.

Our design process begins with fully understanding each client and determining each client's specific need. We believe strongly that the literal message (words) and the underlying visual message (color palette, texture, graphics) must be in sync and must reach the target audience on all levels within the design; conscious and subliminal. Many decisions to buy or utilize a service are made more on the emotional level than the intellectual level and it is important to be fully in-tune with the messages being communicated on a deeper psychological level.
