JVM Design

JVM Design, also known as JV Media Design, is a web and graphic design studio in Southern Oregon that builds custom WordPress and brochure-style websites for small businesses and nonprofits. Creative Director Sherry Holub founded the firm in 1995, and it combines web design, branding, printing, search optimization and long-term site support.

Holub started the business shortly after graduating from the UCLA School of Art, moved it to Southern Oregon in 2007 and later shortened the name to JVM Design. Projects begin with a discovery conversation, offered as a 20-minute call, to learn about the client's audience, goals and what the firm calls the client's True North, meaning core values and purpose. Design then proceeds through rounds of colors, design elements and brand voice, followed by launch and ongoing support as the business grows. The studio says it stresses honest communication and no hidden extra charges.
