Our Team

Goran Paunovic has spent the better part of the last decade helping business executives focus their sales and marketing messages, while giving voice to their corporate identities.  Goran founded the full-service graphic design firm, ArtVersion, in 1999, and ArtVersion has since provided numerous clients, including Fortune 500 companies, with web-design, multimedia, corporate identity, and marketing services.

ArtVersion has a strong expertise in creating and re-developing corporate identities and brand strengthening.  Goran's mission and philosophy for ArtVersion is clear: “Behind the marketing pieces that all of us receive in our mailboxes each day, someone put a lot of effort.  I'm personally greatly impressed when my Fortune 500 clients show me that they really care about their customers, and don't mind going the extra mile or expanding their budgets just to make sure that the marketing material relay means something to the recipient. It's impressive to see how executives and their teams are willing to put forth the effort to make their marketing messages, brochures, websites or even business cards really represent their company.  Many of them don't have in-house graphic or creative departments and that's where my team and I can help them.  From idea to completion, we work hard together, and that is the only way of creating ingenious and effective materials.”

Goran received his professional training at the Polytechnic Academy of Belgrade, Serbia, and has since received numerous awards for his creative work.  Goran is an active member of the National Association of Photoshop® Professionals, and of the American Institute of Graphic Art and Art Directors Club. In 2004, Goran was nominated as a Leader of the Year.
