Taking "BRAND HEART" to a New Level.
Charities & Nonprofits need our help now more than ever.
ROCKTOPUS® is here to help with action, not just words.
While some large national & global 501c3 nonprofits have experienced an increase in donations, smaller local charities, shelters & animal rescues have felt a heavy hit as their donors financially struggle. Furthermore, most do not have advertising budgets as nearly all their fundraising goes to fulfilling their charitable goals.
ROCKTOPUS® prefers solutions, not excuses. Which is why we have launched our exclusive charity program geared towards providing these nonprofits crucial branding & design support to visually communicate their mission, maximize their fundraising efforts & attract new clients.
​
Think of us as the "Bombas®" of Graphic Design.
Here's how it works:
-
When you book us for a logo design, we will also donate a logo to a charity on our waiting list for design services.
-
For every Brand-Aid™ Branding package you purchase, we can expand these free services & provide your nonprofit of choice with even more support.
-
You will be emailed an attractive badge identifying your business as a sponsor who supported the nonprofit who received their free design services.
Are you a 501c3 Nonprofit?
Do you have one in mind who needs our help?

MEET DANIELLE
President & Founder
I have 21 solid years of hands-on art & creative direction expertise in branding, advertisement, marketing & graphic design. I have worked with all B2B, B2C & D2C industries, as well as nonprofit organizations.
I've devoted my life to my career since 2000 at the age of sixteen, having grown up in an underprivileged household & determined to achieve success. Extremely hardworking & self-taught, my two decades of "boots on the ground" hands-on career experience in dynamic agency environments give me a rare advantage on how I handle & manage workflow. I have gained access to important resources and an excellent network of collaborative professionals throughout the years, ensuring full scale capabilities whether you want a custom built search engine, or a handmade artisan trade show booth.
​
My unique background has shaped me to be a motivated, determined, versatile & flexible professional, as well as a humble human being who values kindness & appreciates everything in life. While it’s true that I have taken an unorthodox road to be where I am today professionally, that is what effective design is all about - seeing a bigger picture, reaching new heights & pushing the boundaries!
