Peralta Design To Cut Ribbon

Downtown Shelton has a new resident.

Peralta Design, calling itself the "Branding and Startup Specialists," will hold a ribbon cutting Oct. 29.

Peralta Design, LLC, is at 431 Howe Ave. (Between Danny O’s and Dunkin' Donuts).

The official ribbon cutting will take place with owner, Ramon Peralta, Mayor Mark Lauretti and Chamber President, Bill Purcell and will include a video presentation, a tour of the creative studio and refreshments.

"Peralta Design utilizes a collective expertise to assist small to medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs along the startup path while also helping global brands reach millions with multi- disciplinary creative design solutions. Services include: logo design, website design and development, promo video development, marketing materials, product and/or company launch and brand strategy," according to a company statement.

According its owner, "I have been living in Shelton for over 12 years, and while many of our clients are national and international, we were recently hired by Sorge Industries, a long-time local Shelton business to develop their website. We’re very excited to be able to offer our services to the local Shelton community."

Peralta said his passion for entrepreneurial design was born out of 10 years as Creative Director for Jay Walker at Walker Digital, the "Stamford-based idea laboratory and business incubator behind Priceline.com."

"This same innovative, determined passion for branding and developing effective design solutions is the formula behind Peralta Design."

After being laid-off abruptly in 2008, Peralta said he started to offer design services out of his home.

The business has been growing ever since, moving to a furnished office at the Regus center on Research Drive.

Most recently, he said Peralta Design was named Best of 2013 Shelton as a New Business Startup Consultant.

"We really love being in Downtown Shelton and look forward to meeting more local businesses and working together with those in the surrounding Greater Valley community," Peralta said.
