We are a team of
creative problem solvers.

Based in Santa Cruz, CA, we work with clients worldwide to reach their business, marketing, and communication goals. Companies hire us for a wide variety of projects; everything from developing a logo or formatting a monthly newsletter to developing and maintaining their online presence and creating a powerful brand. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products on schedule and within budget. Brooktown’s unique approach to problem-solving means that we evaluate each project’s budget and requirements to create customized design solutions.

Top 5 Reasons You Should Work With Us

1 We ask, listen and understand

We begin each project by gaining a solid understanding of who you are, what you do and why you do it. This helps us create strategic solutions that communicate the right messages and express your unique brand identity.

2 We collaborate with clients

Good design doesn’t come in a flash of inspiration. It’s a collaborative process of discovery that takes patience, experience, and communication. We involve our clients every step of the way, incorporating feedback at each stage until the design is finalized.

3 We do the work

We work together on projects. You will see the same faces from the first initial contact to the completion of the project. We do not have a sales team, and we only take on projects that fit within our skillsets.

4 We’ve been around the block

Having been in business for over 17 years, you can bet we’ve seen and heard just about everything. We know what works and what doesn’t work. Our fingers are conditioned to hit the right buttons without even thinking. We are organized, fast, and efficient.

5 We like each other

We have no rivalries, no hierarchy — there are no bad eggs at Brooktown. We really do enjoy coming to work everyday. We respect each other, support each other and even humor each other.

Vaughn Nastor

Vaughn Nastor

Web Developer

Von has been developing websites for over 5 years. In addition to web development, he has also worked as a graphic designer, and web technical support. The process of brainstorming a new design and developing it from start to finish is something he really enjoys. He also finds troubleshooting a website fun and exciting, which is a beautiful thing as far as we’re concerned. Is there anything he can’t do?!?

I’ve worked with Brooktown on a few web development projects. They design the graphics, and I create the back end, such as a database or form processing. They are great to work with. We have good communication back and forth on projects and we make an excellent team. Brooklyn has a friendly, upbeat personality which makes it that much better. I hope to work on more projects with Brooktown in the future.
