“Erin did an excellent and timely job on all phases of my website project. When I first explained what I wanted, she listened attentively and quickly understood the task at hand. She voluntarily did some research and made all the needed phone calls to complete the work. Erin was always a pleasure to work with – focused, smart, good sense of humor, and willing to do whatever needed to be done to bring the project to completion in a creative manner.”

“Erin's design work was beyond my expectations. She really listened to the brand story and translated that so well into the initial design options for the logo and marketing pieces. As we narrowed in on the final designs, she made sure all of the details were just right. She is so easy to work with and did a beautiful job!”
