Kind words from some lovely folks.
Carolyn designed and built the logo and website for our nonprofit organization. She worked closely with us with great attention to detail, bringing creativity, vision and deep understanding of our mission to her artwork and presentation. The website is beautiful with well-chosen imagery, it’s easy to navigate, and it conveys our organizational identity perfectly: a great combination of art with practical messaging.
Working with an artist to make our vision come true (plus some) has never been so easy. Carolyn goes the extra mile in creativity, communication, and final product.
On top of listening to our project goals, Carolyn has a good instinct on when to reach out for direction and brings additional ideas to the table. We originally hired Carolyn to make artwork for each single that our band, Old Oaks, was set to release. She listened to the music, discussed what we had in mind and what visuals the songs brought to her. While drafting the artwork she would check in on major details and take notes of small options for how the product could be changed depending on our preference. After one review we not only met our expectations and ideas — but some of Carolyn’s artistic fingerprint improved our original concepts! Next, Carolyn brought the idea of putting all the single artwork images into a fold out book — this book has been one of our best eye catchers at the merch stand ever since. Marvelous.
Carolyn designed a sharp, user friendly website for our band. She accommodated our needs and was easy to work with every step of the way. Her attention to detail and quick turnaround time on orders have been great and she’s since designed many tour posters and other graphics for us. Very professional and courteous!
We are beyond impressed with the creativity, style and professionalism of Carolyn’s prints & design work. The band and our business appreciates the time, effort & heart she puts into the artwork we use to create the image we are looking for each and every time.
