WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
“I have enjoyed a very successful partnership with Shona Friedman for the past six plus years. Her customer focus, tireless work ethic, superior design instincts and attention to detail played an integral role in the rapid growth of our business – from six employees and a single property to four properties and 100 employees. I would not hesitate in recommending her services.”
—Jed Ayres
Owner, MacCallum Properties, Inc.
“Jude Lutge has worked as a publicist for the MacCallum House for over 20 years. During this time she has garnered media attention that has catapulted the property onto the national stage and directly contributed to our success and top position in the market. With feature articles in the NY Times, Gourmet, Travel and Leisure, SF Chronicle, Press Democrat, Coastal Living and Wine Spectator, Jude’s involvement can be quantified with dramatic increases in revenue. Her passion and dedication to her clients is obvious in the quality of the work she produces and her near instantaneous response times. Probably the biggest differentiator for Jude is her business intuition – having a deep entrepreneurial background herself, she has a remarkable instinct for spotting market trends and drivers which can quickly translate into revenue.”

“Rachel Cost was the first graphic designer I have ever worked with. I had zero knowledge of what to ask for, yet had high expectations for results. Rachel was extremely patient in walking me through all aspects of the design process. In the end, the final designs for my product package, Web site, business cards, trade show booth, sales and press sheets far exceeded my expectations. I could not have picked a more capable, creative, personable, and professional person to introduce me to the world of graphic design. I’m glad to have her as a part of my team!”

We first contacted Rachel with the sole purpose of redesigning our website, but we got so much more. Rachel helped us better identify our company’s vision. She worked with us on
establishing strong image and branding, product positioning, and marketing strategies. In addition, she also walked us through the entire creative process to fully accomplish our vision and goals. The result is a cohesive design of our logo, website, media kit, and marketing materials. Almost instantly our sales went up and media took notice of our company.Everything Rachel has done for us far exceeded our expectations. We are very fortunate to be able to work with someone as smart and creative as Rachel and would highly recommend her services to others.
