Our RootsSprout Creatives web development studio was germinated by graphic designer Paul Starkey in February 2007. The name ‘Sprout’ originated from a nickname giving to me in early childhood. At an early age I was introduced to computers and my first experience was in 1984 when I got an Apple IIe. I became an Apple geek ever since the first keystroke. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland, I landed a job as entry-level graphic designer for The Maryland Coastal Dispatch in Berlin, Maryland. After two years, I took a position with the Ocean City Today newspaper and became Art Director for the next four years. Provided with the opportunity to become the Creative Director for a start-up national hotel marketing and management company in joined Innteractive Hospitality. I was given the opportunity to work more with web design, Internet marketing and email marketing. I left Innteractive Hospitality to pursue other challenging opportunities with the Carl M. Freeman Companies Real Estate Division. Due to the slumping real estate market and corporate cutbacks, I was laid off after only 8 months of work. Breaking GroundSo after not seeing many opportunities in the design field on the horizon within the area, I decided to start a freelance design business. So Sprout was born. I am a big believer of the saying things happen for a reason. I saw this as the opportunity to have my own design studio. A design studio in Maryland that would produce quality creatives to clients at a reasonable price. During the initial year I was blessed that my Freeman Co. colleagues loved my design talents and contracted Sprout Creatives to continue performing design tasks. Branching OutThroughout the first 5 years, Sprout Creatives has grown by leaps and bounds. As of early 2010 we started offering quality web hosting to our website customers. And for our graphic design customers we now offer high quality full-color commercial printing services for all your businesses needs. In March 2011, Sprout Creatives and JQ Hospitality Solutions have created a partnership to provide the hospitality industry a complete all in one location sales, marketing, and printing solutions.
