I was always intimidated by the “hiring a designer” process, but working with Phyllis made it feel so simple. Those concerns didn’t stack up to reality because of Phyllis. At the beginning of each project, I’m always impressed by her ability to translate my kernel of an idea and turn it into something tangible. Her design aesthetic has created our CAKE brand. She launched us into the children’s book world and helped to make a splash. We get so many compliments on our materials, website, postcards, and presentation from stakeholders in the industry. She’s wonderful, patient, and amazingly talented.

For me, Phyllis was a one-stop solution! She had just the right amount of breadth and depth of experience to help me launch a shop (that was slightly more complicated than a regular shop or site), create branding, go beyond just mere consulting but was rather execution-focused. For areas where we needed to bring in specialists, she also had the right network and could point me in the right direction. Small businesses like ours need specialists like Phyllis who can roll up her sleeves and execute design herself but also lead the project and is flexible/adaptable enough to play multiple roles just from sheer experience. Phyllis is [a] PARTNER with you on your project in every sense of the word. 

I wanted a fresh new site but didn't know how to go about doing it. With Phyllis, the process was great! I loved the communication throughout and I could tell that she really wanted to make sure I was happy with the results. The best thing is the uniqueness of how my site looks. It doesn't look like anyone else's and for that I'm happy.

I received everything I wanted and more from Phyllis. I was surprised at how easy she made everything. I am one of those annoying clients with a million questions and she answered all of them with out hesitation. Speaking with Phyllis made everything calming. I truly had no concerns as she treated my website as if it were her own. After the redesign, everything is exactly how I dreamed it could be. I feel as if this site truly reflects who I am as an artist. 

A lot of other designers I looked at felt too trendy or self promotional in the content of their portfolios. I could only see THEM, not the client. From the very beginning, I was so impressed with how organized Phyllis was. Communication was always seamless. She could tackle nearly everything I tasked her with and problem solve any issues that came up. It was such a relief to find someone who would be as invested in the project as I was. I also loved that she didn't *just* specialize in one field…it spoke volumes to her creativity and ability to problem solve/collaborate with brands to breathe life into THEIR vision.

Phyllis is a wonderful person to work with. She goes the extra mile to make sure that I fully understand how to do things and is incredibly professional with the way she conducts her design business. I've worked with multiple website designers and was always disappointed they weren't able to fully understand what I needed and how to make it work correctly. I looked to Phyllis to help me rework a lot of the pages into a beautiful site. I now have a very cohesive site that works incredible well for the complexity of my business. 

I often recommend Phyllis; she is visionary and a total badass. She understands that each client is very individual and takes the time to really understand your vision and brand, even when you aren't quite clear yourself. Hiring Phyllis to do the branding for The Collective (of Us) made a world of difference. The new branding and marketing graphics really allowed the course and program to feel as elevated and niche as it is. I was THRILLED at the results which were really all about the women within The Collective; colorful, bold and brilliant. I can not thank you enough!

Phyllis is one of the very best designers I’ve ever worked with — she just ‘gets it’. Mic drop! She knows what your heart wants, your brand needs, and your creative soul desires. She’s an incredible designer and visual communicator that supports creative entrepreneurs so well because she is one. Working with a designer that empathizes with the trials and triumphs of entrepreneurship is like working with a friend whose been there, done that, and wants to see you succeed — really, is there anything better?

Finding Phyllis was an absolute game changer for my brand and business! I had worked with countless designers before who either lacked the level of talent I was requiring or did not have the type of workflow/customer experience I felt comfortable with. Phyllis is so detail oriented, organized, and has such vision that working with her has been one of the best investments I have ever made. Her designs are incredible and the final outcome speaks for itself every time.

I am relieved to know that someone as professional, detail oriented, and dedicated as Phyllis is out there. After being in business for over 15 years, making several attempts and paying out many thousands of dollars to find someone who could create a website that not only represented by services clearly but could create a certain feel I was looking for, I was still without a website at the beginning of 2016. Phyllis was instantly likable, patient, listened to the goals that I had, and thoughtfully offered her guidance, handling issues that came up professionally, efficiently, and always with a degree of patience that had been (for me) unseen in this business. 

Phyllis was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional and enthusiastic. And her work is beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Phyllis is very responsive and knows exactly how to hone her questions to get the exact information she needs to make a perfect design. I was so impressed. Phyllis is an incredibly talented designer who is easy to work with and a true professional. I would highly recommend her to everyone!
