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.
