What do we do? It’s a process.
To find creative solutions, we ask a lot of questions along the way. Because the more we know about our clients and their challenges, the better we can help tell their stories.
Who we are
Quiver is an award-winning visual communications agency founded in Boston, MA, and based in Dorset, VT. (We often split our time between the two locations.)
Offering expertise in design, art direction, photography and video—we create bespoke books, brochures, reports, brand identities and brand systems, websites, packaging, exhibitions, marketing campaigns and signage systems.
Over the years, we’ve worked with a broad range of clients—from non-profits to regional start-ups to international businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
How we work
We believe that a successful creative relationship develops through collaboration and partnership. We listen carefully to our clients to glean relevant nuggets of information. We assimilate marketing objectives and learn about what has worked and what hasn’t. During this discovery period, we are in pursuit of differentiation and what’s authentic and unique.
Our goal is to help our clients stand out, not blend in to their crowded marketplace.
What we do
We create custom designs and tailored branding solutions for a wide range of business verticals—consumer, education, finance, healthcare, luxury services, and technology.
Whatever the medium—print, digital, video, photography—we strive for high-quality production and flawless execution. And we value working with people and companies that share this unique vision.

We engage in projects of varying scales and scopes both locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. We have experience in a variety of markets, including consumer, education, finance, healthcare, luxury services, and technology.

Amy Sutherland
Writer, editor, published author, and dog whisperer
Her most recent story in the New York Times: Opening the Heart’s Floodgates, With a Paw
Amy is our resident copywriter and storyteller, who steps in when the project needs a specific style or gravitas. After receiving her Masters degree in journalism at Northwestern, Amy honed her craft working for newspapers and then expanded it writing books. She’s penned four—the newest, “Rescuing Penny Jane,” was released by Harper Collins in February. Amy is also a contributor to a famed New York Times column; one of her articles was the most emailed that year. She’s written for a range of magazines, including Smithsonian, Preservation, and Women’s Health, and is a regular contributor to The Boston Globe’s Books section.
This spring, Amy wrote her second Modern Love column for The New York Times, a piece about being a matchmaker between dogs and people at the Boston animal shelter where she is a longtime volunteer.
When not walking shelter dogs or her own rescue pooches, Amy can be found bent over a potter’s wheel wrangling a lump of clay into something useful, if not beautiful.
