Big Pixel is a full creative services agency, specializing in the integration of traditional media (print, advertising) and new media (web, social & mobile media). We’re a small shop but we work on big projects and think big. Our work often goes well beyond communication solutions, helping clients solve complicated business and process issues like member/volunteer/contact management and project collaboration.

We draw on a team of specialists — computer programmers, designers, writers, copy editors, illustrators and photographers — to ensure our client’s projects are executed perfectly. Combined, we have 24 years industry experience including 10 years experience teaching design and communications at the university level.
