Chamber Welcomes Busy Beaver Graphics & Promotions


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes Busy Beaver Graphics & Promotions. Brett and Joy Batchelor moved to Sandpoint earlier this year and opened shop in June. Both are formally educated in graphic arts and met 10 years ago at The Olympian Newspaper in Olympia Washington.

Before moving to Sandpoint, Brett & wife Joy drove long haul for Gordon Trucking. They did this together in order to get out of debt. In the last 4 1/2 years, they logged over 1 million miles. “We have always wanted to move to Sandpoint. It brings us closer to our family and nature,” said Brett.

Joy attended Northwest Community College in Powell, Wyoming, where she earned her degree in graphic design and graphic arts. She worked in the newspaper industry for over eight years, starting as an ad designer and working her way up. Her years working at the newspaper provides her customers an excellent experience in design, writing, and project management. As president of Busy Beaver Graphics & Promotions LLC, Joy Batchelor has a special talent for public relations that stems from her extensive background in communications and her genuine interest in her clients. Plus, she loves her job. Having worked in client and customer support and as a graphic designer, Joy brings a well-rounded perspective to the project management role. With her creative insight and perfectionist attitude, she is able to offer tremendous service and support to her clients and team members.

Brett Batchelor has over 12 years of hands-on experience in corporate branding, advertising, design and illustration. He has worked with many prestigious clients in the Northwest and across the nation including Microsoft, Sierra Online, Helly Hansen, and Washington State Parks. Brett is noted for creating the Centennial 2013 Logo for Washington State Parks as well as promotional posters for The Hearst Castle Theater. When he's not busy designing, Brett enjoys riding his motorcycle and playing guitar. Brett attended The Art Institute of Seattle, where he earned a degree in Communication Arts. As the marketing and creative director for Busy Beaver Graphics & Promotions, clients can rest assured that their artwork is being handled by one of the Northwest's best & brightest talents.
