Testimonials
“The Brochure looks fantastic Brenda. The suits really pop. The employees really love it and I am very satisfied. Thanks for all your hard work.” R. - Tyndall's Formalwear, NC
“It is truly a pleasure to work with you. You made the learning curve short and always add value to any project we do! ”
V. G. - Westinghouse Lighting Solutions, PA“I just wanted you to know I received three compliments on our web site within the past month. Yeah!!!!! You have done a nice job with it, Thank-you, ”
“Brenda was a great asset to me for over a decade. Before I hired her as a freelance graphic artist, Maaco's in-house graphics person was overwhelmed with local advertising assignments for franchisees around the country and consequently had to put our publications on the back burner from time to time. Brenda stepped up and my life became much less stressful as far as meeting deadlines.
Brenda is easy to work with and never compains if changes are made during the publication process. She is skilled in layout and design, and always makes publications look very professional. And she does it with a great attitude that makes the whole process fun. Brenda has my enthusiastic endorsement., ”

“Brenda is brilliant: Creative, focused, detail-oriented and professional. She's one of the few graphic designers I've ever worked with who truly understands marketing and the key concept that the goal of a great design is to better position the product and advance the selling process.
In addition to all that, Brenda is just fun to be around. She is smart and witty and funny and exceptionally great at what she does. If you operate in a competitive market, hire her before your competition does. Whoever has Brenda in their corner wins!!"
