New graphic design firm opens its doors

PicNinja, a Ridgeland company offering graphic design subscription plans and individual projects at affordable rates, opened on Sept. 9.

PicNinja’s founders, Kelsey Price and Logan Bertram, started the firm to “address a shortage of affordable, high-quality graphic design services available to small businesses.”

“More than anyone, small business owners need to be able to market themselves effectively, and one of the most expensive parts of a successful marketing strategy is often the design work. We decided pretty early on that we wanted PicNinja to help small businesses by offering graphic design options they could afford,” said Bertram.
