I have worked with Nancy for several years now on a variety of design projects.  What I value most about Nancy is her ingenuity: she can take a complex project and find an effective way to convey the message or bring a text to life. Her work is uncluttered and original. — Mary Irwin, Gifts & Development Officer Friends of the Smith College Libraries

I came to Nancy needing to be rescued from a previous graphic design experience that had gone awry. Nancy was patient and reassuring as we started to work together. I asked her for something ‘inspired’ which I know was not an easy request to fill.

Nancy responded to my somewhat vague and changing ideas with creativity and patience while holding me to a high level of quality. After the design work was completed she guided me though the process of having my materials printed. She offered comments and suggestions about important details, which made a critical difference in the quality of what was produced. This saved me time and money and a set of lovely, creative and inspired promotional materials resulted.

I look forward to working with Nancy again for future graphic design needs. — Janet Bunce, President & CEO, Care for Our Elders

The interactive poem board helped solve a problem the Museum had long been tackling.  Dickinson’s practice of playing with words in her poems is vital to understanding her composition process.  For many years we relied on explaining this process with a simple handout and an oral explanation of her practice.

The interactive board made it possible to put Dickinson’s poems in “3D,” showing Dickinson in motion.  Visitors are astonished by her word play—exactly the reaction we hoped for.  At the same time, the board allows them to engage in word play, too. It’s a highlight of the tour. — Cindy Dickinson, Director of Interpretation and Programming

Working with Nancy was an incredible experience and an integral step in starting my business. I came to Nancy with little to no creative input about how to design my company’s logo or business stationery. Little did I know that a well designed logo present such a professional identity when put in the hands of the right person.

Taking Nancy’s creative ideas to print shops and web designers has been an eye opening experience. Nancy made these next steps so easy for me. Thanks to my company’s logo being prepared for print and web, she also made it easy for the next person to work with my new logo. Thanks to my partnership with Nancy, I know my company’s presentation and professional appearance is in good hands, in the present and future.” — Mike Williams, Montague Timber Frames, Montague, MA

Nancy’s work in designing my company logo, impressed me on multiple levels. She had an uncanny sense for what I was thinking but hadn’t yet said aloud. She listened to what I was looking for and then brought forward beautiful design ideas for me to consider. Nancy went out of her way to find the solutions. I’ll recommend her for any design work.” — Francis vanWyk, Create Client Chemistry, Doha, Qatar

For Websites, Newsletters, and Social Media

Many times, a new web header design is all that’s need to energize a website. That’s exactly what Dr. Kaayla T. Daniel, The Naughty Nutritionist® chose to do.

For brand consistency Dr. Daniel’s social media banners will carry the same theme. The reason they don’t look exactly the same is because web header banners and social media banners are different sizes, so new design solutions are required with each banner design: Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.

The new FB banner looks great and I’m very pleased. — Dr. Kaayla T. Daniel

Caryn Chow is a life coach who loves to fly…her own plane. She wanted her web header to reflect her passion for flying, as well as the type of lifestyle she’s helping her clients achieve: one that is mindful, calm and spiritual.

Nancy really takes the time to ‘listen’ to her clients to ensure she has their vision, and once captured she embellishes the vision with her remarkable creativity. I especially love my little gift – a color chart I can use for any project! Nancy’s professionalism is outstanding, and she is a delight to work with. — Caryn Chow

Refreshing aqua blue kept “calling to me” as I was designing Lorrie Beck’s webheader, so it came as a pleasant surprise to learn how much Lorrie loves the water, and the swimming event in her triathlon competitions.

My goal was to make the header background lively and hopeful because although Lorrie is also a multi-sport coach, this site is devoted to Lorrie Beck’s other coaching business: helping people overcome their eating disorders.

Nancy did a wonderful job developing my website header and graphics.  She is very talented, creative and professional and spent time talking with me until I had a very clear picture of what I was looking for. She is also very enthusiastic and goes out of her way to be helpful. I would highly recommend Nancy for designing websites and graphics. It was a pleasure working with her.. — Lorrie Beck

Lacey Swartz is owner of KVorganics.com, and an independent representative for Miessence organic products. She is passionate about Sustainable Network Marketing, and her desire to use and sell products that are neither harmful to people or their environment.

I came to know Lacey through our Impact Mastermind group. She is someone who truly lives a life of sustainability and service, and I wanted to capture these qualities in her design. The challenge was to create two different web headers to address two different needs:

1. One that would attract visitors to Lacey’s sustainable living community website
2. Another to promote her 10 day online, live wellness summit.

In both cases, Lacey was very clear about her objectives and her color palette — as well as which web header needed a head shot, and which one did not.

She welcomed my accent color recommendations and font suggestions, and continues to use these in all her promotional materials.

The collaborative process giving birth to the final results was such an enjoyable experience. I so appreciated how you took my vague thoughts in the beginning, gave me something to start with visually, listened to my gut response feedback, tweaked things, and brought forth a perfect result for what I needed. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing graphic design services. — Lacey Swartz

Shana Anolik needed a new website in four days. Fortunately I helped her build her first WordPress website so we could take many of the same properties to create a simple yet beautiful web header for her new business.

Nancy responded to my call right away, and I could tell she was committed to helping my new business succeed.

She asked me all the right questions to get a  clear idea of exactly what I was looking for. With state of the art technology, and her keen sense of artistic design, everything she created surpassed my initial hopes!  — Shana Anolik

Two Centre Street Restoration Project requested a web header that showed both the exterior and interior architecture. Using photos taken by members of the church, I create a photo montage and added it beneath the navigation menu to keep the focus on this magnificent building.

Until I worked with Nancy and saw her construct a photo montage, I had no idea of the design and technical experience that was required to create a header like this. It’s been fascinating seeing our design come alive.— Jane Karakula
