What we do.

Rewind: Established in 2010, DesignPerks launched ‘Ellicottville SNOWED-IN’ that same year - a wintertime newsprint magazine published monthly during Ellicottville’s ski season. Following the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, our publisher decided to transform Snowed-In from a seasonal publication into what is now ellicottvilleNOW.  

Along with ellicottvilleNOW, DesignPerks of Ellicottville also offers custom graphic design services for all your creative design needs.
