The time is ripe for Olivedesign's organic approach Think about an olive. If Kenan Aktulun and Kyla Kanz, partners in the innovative Internet and multimedia design firm OliveDesign, have anything to say about it, the lowly olive, the mascot adorning their business cards, will soon make you think about a lot more, like the way Web pages and CD-ROMs should look. That's one reason we picked the olive.
Technology is just a tool.
It is this approach that has made OliveDesign one of the hottest design shops in town and a new blip on the national design scene's radar. Kanz and Aktulun, both ex-employees of SicolaMartin, started OliveDesign in 1997. Immediately, they began nabbing contract work from other design firms not adept at creating Web pages and CD-ROMs. Now the company has acquired enough clout in the industry to work directly for major clients like Dell advertising shops. They've also acquired a couple of international accounts.
