Carolyn did a fantastic job for us on our logo. She is a great communicator, willing to iterate to get it right and takes constructive feedback in the interest of getting a great final result. Highly recommend her.

It was wonderful to work with Carolyn for the second time! Her icons feel custom and unique just to me. When I showed them to my friends they went "Yes! That's you!" She's great to work with

Carolyn and her team were very patient and understanding! They really respected my understanding of coding and really worked to tweak the website the way I wanted. I have a few more things to add myself, such as graphics, but they really delivered the framework I wanted. My website is sleek, fast, and clean! Plus they did it in record time - something that'd been taking me months they did in under 30 days. I would highly recommend!

Carolyn is one of the most driven people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is responsive, intelligent, and hard-working. Her design work is flawless and well thought out. The biggest joy of working with Carolyn is that she truly works WITH you. She gives honest and constructive feedback, asks the right questions, and is committed to doing only her best work. You can rest assured that work done by Carolyn is exactly what you're looking for. I couldn't recommend her more.
