We had the great pleasure and good-fortune of working with Lisa in developing our company’s identity and debut product line branding.  Lisa is a highly-skilled, forward-thinking designer who we enthusiastically recommend and wholeheartedly intend to work with on future graphic design projects. 

Lisa showed great skill in quickly assessing our needs and understanding our mission.  She communicated in layperson’s terminology and brought to the table a vision that both encompassed our desired messaging and allowed us to refine our vision.

An essential element of Lisa’s appeal as a designer is her unfailing optimism and motivation.  Lisa consistently met our deadlines and provided alternate graphical elements for consideration.  Without reservation, we will employ Lisa's talents again!

Lisa is a detail orientated hard worker and she was a huge asset to our organization while she was with us. We wished we were able to bring her on full time but didn't have the position available- any company looking for a graphic designer would be lucky to have Lisa on board.” March 5, 2009

Lisa has natural creative talent. Her artistic instincts, eagerness to learn, and impeccable eye for detail make her an outstanding project partner. Her personality and work ethic not only make her a valuable employee, but also an excellent teammate. She rightfully earns the respect of her peers through effective communication, mutual respect, teamwork, and her "can do" attitude. If given the opportunity, I would jump at the chance to work with Lisa again both personally and professionally. Anyone who welcomes Lisa to an organization will not be disappointed.” April 10, 2009

It was a pleasure having Lisa as a student in my Flash animation class. Lisa consistently completed the weekly assignments on-time and per instructions. She was always attentive during my lectures and was a contributing member of the class. I admired that she was willing to ask questions to clarify and further her understanding. Lisa was willing to help other students and interacts extremely well with all types of personalities. Flash was a challenging class for Lisa. The program is extensive and can be overwhelming. She kept it simple and was able to firmly grasp the basic concepts. I would really enjoy having her as a student in the future! If every student were as dedicated and hard working as Lisa, the possibilities to excel in the curriculum would be limitless.” April 21, 2009

I worked with Lisa on branding my start up custom clothing design company. Initially, I had little direction on the image I wanted to project to customers. After sitting down with her and talking about my vague vision, Lisa came up with a number of different logo possibilities. She was readily available, kept in constant contact, and had a positive attitude throughout.

Lisa's best asset is her attention to detail. She worked quickly and diligently to come up with creative ideas for the company's image. She was a pleasure to work with, both personable and motivated.

She gave me endless graphic design/logo options, revamped color schemes and plenty of imaging ideas. I recommend Lisa to anyone who is starting a business and needs some direction!
