BOOKS
“Bec is a recent addition to our list of freelance designers, but already she’s had a big impact on our books. She has a great ability to get to the heart of a brief and really understand what the cover needs to say. Bec is enthusiastic about designs for even the most dry of academic subjects, and this shows in the care and thought she puts into her work.”
PACKAGING
“Bec spent three years doing all of our design work and was crucial to our new product development process. She is an experienced designer with a vast knowledge of packaging and printing processes and delivers fast, efficient, and professional results. ”
LICENSED PRODUCT
“A project that had been underway for some years was completed in just a few months with Bec’s advice, support, contacts and experience. She was always professional and efficient with a charming personal manner and I greatly enjoyed working with her.”
ANNUAL REPORTS
“Bec has that rare ability to quickly get up to speed with what we need, make clear any factors to consider that we hadn’t, and then still surpass our expectations. Her work is the highest quality and I greatly appreciate her creative solutions to some of our more complicated projects. Knowing that Bec is our ‘go-to designer’ is a huge source of comfort for me in project planning.”
LOGOS
“Bec is without doubt the most efficient and productive graphic designer my studio has ever employed. Bec is very reliable and passionate about her work and would be a great asset to any creative team. ”
BUSINESS CARDS
“I find Bec to stand apart from the crowd in how easy she is to work with. She gets to the point and relates to me on my limited level of design experience, providing valuable insights and expertise. Bec is the first person I reach out to when I need graphic design support, and it’s always a pleasant conversation.”
MARKETING
“Over the years Bec has been a godsend to our various businesses. The key difference between her and others I have worked with is her ability to follow instruction, but also be proactive in making something right. In a world where there is never enough time, she makes my job easy.”
