    How about using your name Ann ???? Design (Studios). It will always be yours and you will be selling your talent even when you hire other artists.

    In the end it will be your talent and marketing that will get you where you wnat to go.

    I thought your user name was unusual and can be used as a name to your own Company- ANNGELLYC. Its has a nice sound to it and a good spelling.

    VisualiZe

    Visual Graffiti

    ANNbolic Graphics

    I'm going to go against the flow here and suggest that NOT choose a name which will limit you. Today, as you look forward, you can see yourself doing graphics design. And, you will begin to get some corporate clients. You will develop trust and rapport... and when new marketing technologies emerge, they will turn to you for help. You may find an exciting new style of marketing which you love... but which does not fit the name you chose before beginning. You will meet potential partners who can add value to your business, but who will not be named "Angel" and who may or may not do graphics design.

    Per my previous response to a similiar company:
    https://www.marketingprofs.com/ea/qst_question.asp?qstID=15182#97448
    I would suggest that you at least consider a name which does not limit your future choices or direction. Suppose, for example, that you have a name which basically says, "I'm Angel and I do wonderful graphic design". You have a corporate client, and the client wants you to handle, say, a meeting, or a trade show, or SWOT analysis. At this point, when you are at a critical juncture when your business is struggling to grow and evolve, your name will become a liability, rather than an asset.

    Over to the right, you will see a list of the top experts in Taglines. I clicked on the first seven or so, checked out the profile for each, and NONE of them had a company name which limited their scope of work. NONE of them had names which indicated that they personally would do the work, limiting their growth.

    Names like "Pepper Blue Marketing" and "White Mountain Marketing Associates" give you a way to tie a visual image to your name, without handcuffing you to a vision of your direction before you begin. By contrast, a "cute" name which locks you into being a one-person shop focused on painting and graphics design makes you look small and severely limits your future options.

    I like the name already suggested...

    Visual Graphiti... good sound, will draw interest....

    And can be morphed into just about any kind of company based on the tag line used..
