Need a compelling website, branding or print campaign? Of course you do!
I am here to help. But I can't do it alone...

We have to work together. Clear and open communication. If you are looking for a "yes man" then I am not the designer for you.

I'm a pretty picky designer. I like things done right and I like to take the time to do 'em right. Deadlines, schmedlines!

This certainly does not mean that I ignore deadlines. But it does mean that I like to properly plan and ensure that we have enough time to get things done on time and most importantly, on target.

If you need your logo, brochure, website, business card, entire branding campaign designed, proofed and delivered in a week, you may need to think about opening up your schedule a bit. There is a difference between tight deadlines and unreasonable deadlines and while I am happy (and excited) to see how I can best serve your design and marketing needs, I most likely have other projects currently in progress which also require my attention.

I am not the cheapest option, (But also not the most expensive...)

If you are just price shopping, you don't want to hire me. If you are shopping for a quality partner in the success of your business, we need to talk. I almost never come in as the lowest bidder. But I can tell you I have had countless clients come back to me to fix the poorly designed and implemented projects the lowest bidder did deliver. I won't be offended if you think my project fees are too high. But I hope you give me the chance to explain and show you why they are higher.In short, I do not provide a commodity, I provide a service and the service doesn't stop when the project is complete.

Please think of me as a partner in your business, not just as a hired gun. We both have the same goals for your business.

When I take on a new client I am become mentally and emotionally invested. It takes a lot of time and effort to get things to the point that I am ready to share them with you. So while I am more than willing and able to take and act on feedback and constructive criticism, I will need you to be ok with my disagreeing with you from time to time.

Feel like we would be a good fit? Then get in touch with me and let's get the ball rolling!

Why Hey Monkey!?

My hero, my inspiration.

Simple really. From the day she was born until this very day, the first thing I say to my daughter is "Hey Monkey!"

I never really liked my own name for a design company—Lenny Terenzi Designs, Lenny Terenzi, Designer—ugh! But I still wanted something personal to me. A nice story to break the ice if a client ever asks. It also reminds me everyday why I do what I do and to try and put my best foot foot forward every step of the way.

I can fling a mean axe too!

Lenny Terenzi Owner, Designer, Guitar Player, Awesomest dude ever!

My name is Lenny. Designer, Developer, Guitar Player, and most importantly, a Daddy. I live in Apex, NC (The Peak of Good Living! At least that's what it says on our water tower in one seriously outdated typeface).

I have a passion for homemade Italian cooking. I'm known to make a pretty mean red sauce. My meatballs are getting there too. Although if you ask my daughter she still says Grandpa's are better (they are).

What else? Ooh.. Random fact... Kraft Mac & Cheese. That little blue box truly does contain a little bit of heaven.

Hell Camino

Musically? It's (almost) all about blues and soul. Not that neo-soul modern dreck either. STAX baby! I play it, write it, record it and even won some awards for it. I currently play with Hell Camino, a local NC rhythm–n–roots act.
