I am a freelance graphic designer and have been just using my own name in doing business. Now I want to have a real bona-fide graphic design business.

I cater mostly to the fashion industry and would like a name that suggests my services are geared for the fashion industry, but that I am a graphic designer. If anyone could give me suggestions, that would be great! Thanks!

Since you've already begun to develop a reputation, you might consider including your name in the business name, even something simple such as Your Name Graphics or Your Name Designs. (I would use first and last name.) You could use a logo, a tag line and other marketing methods to define yourself as a graphic designer for the fashion industry.

Thanks everyone. I thought about using my name, but unfortunately my name is not very "designy". Design diva sounds pretty good. Thanks for your ideas.
