Partnering with law firms, practice groups and legal marketers to combine data-driven and creative design with tactical business development strategy, grounded in 20 years inside law firm marketing departments.
There's no shortage of designers. There's also no shortage of business development (BD) professionals. But finding someone who does both — and who actually understands the legal industry — is rare.
Colby Design & Development sits at that intersection: part creative studio, part BD strategist, built exclusively for lawyers and law firms. I don't “make things pretty” for the sake of it. I create client-winning pitch decks, brands and revenue-focused BD plans grounded in how and why clients hire you.
Creative. Analytical.

Twenty years inside law firms
I've spent my career on both small and large marketing teams at six law firms of very different size, practice, and client type.
I’ve been a team of one (or two) where there was no one else to hand the work to, which means I've designed the pitch, written the BD plan, coached the partner and measured what worked.
I’ve been a cog in the machine, working in sync with a team to collaborate and keep things streamlined and processes moving, all with the end goal in mind of winning more work.
I bring all of that to every engagement.
