Chocolate Cactus Designs  |  The Chocolate Blog bio picture

well, hello there!

Welcome to the Chocolate Cactus blogsite.  A little of this and a little of that, all rolled into one big ball of goodness.  Here you will be able to read the latest, see recent works and read random babbles all in one place.  You're one lucky duck.

With nine years of design experience and an accomplished marketing background, owner and creative director Jodi Bell prefers a straightforward, personalized approach to her design work. "Everything I design is done with marketing in mind," states this former designer for a Houston-based magazine. It is her philosophy that "Standout designs equal effective marketing". The result is that the marketing and branding process is made infinitely easier for her clients. Jodi's portfolio reveals her love of typography and clean, no-frills designs. It is this that makes her designs standout creations that market themselves. 


Chocolate Cactus offers a variety of design work. Jodi's talents include creating complete identities to collateral materials and logo designs. Aside from logos, one of her specialties is custom one-of-a-kind announcements and wedding invitations. Because her clean, fresh designs appeal to a wide variety of industries, her client list includes not only photographers worldwide but also boutiques, auto manufacturers and just about everything in between.

Jodi has a special affinity for her photographer clients, most likely because she's a photographer herself, having won accolades and recognition for her photographic work. A self-professed font queen, Jodi lives in the Houston, Texas area with her husband and four sons. She continues the hunt for clean, fabulous typography...over 3,500 fonts and counting.

Ch-ch-ch-changes…

Whew! It has been a crazy busy few weeks for me. As always, you all are keeping me on my toes (which is a good thing!). I am finishing a lot of things up this week, so if you are expecting something from me, you just may have it in your inbox before the weeks end.

Also, I am not going to be in the office Friday due to a business trip I’m taking. Which brings me to…

Some changes will likely take place starting next week. Fewer clients per month mostly, so that I can dedicate more time to each client, and also to other ventures. Chocolate Cactus isn’t going anywhere, so don’t worry!

Another change is my offering consulting services. Over the years, I have been asked by numerous clients and friends if I would offer these types of services geared towards marketing and branding their photography businesses. The answer (after years of thinking on it) is yes! As most services offered, this will be on a VERY limited basis (2 clients per month). These include (but certainly aren’t limited to): helping with business name creation, consulting on branding and identity creation and implementation, marketing that new brand, etc. For more information, feel free to email me.

So there’s my quickie update! More later; Illustrator beckons…. :o )
