Rassman Design

Amy Rassman

Founding Partner

Amy Rassman founded Rassman Design based on principles that guide us still: a steadfast focus on the success of our clients and deep commitment to the integrity of our work. She attended Buffalo State University and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh before moving to Denver in 1982. After establishing her reputation at several agencies and studios, she recognized the opportunity to launch a company “where the strength of the creative solution would be tempered by good business sense and achieving the goals of the client would be the measure of success.” Rassman Design opened in 1990. Her intuitive understanding of client needs, and passion for creative problem solving is the cornerstone of our company.

John Rassman

Partner, Creative Director

John Rassman serves as our creative director and works tirelessly toward our goal of “an imaginative process built on collaboration and creative cross-pollination.” John attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and built his career combining a love of illustration and design. Since joining the Rassman Design partnership in 1990, he has focused these skills and works to bring energy and vitality to every client's brand. The successful results have been exhibited nationally and abroad. John has received recognition from Communication Arts, Print, Graphis, Who’s Who in American Graphic Design, Creativity and American Corporate Identity.
