Testimonials
“Not only is Judy a talented designer with an extremely unique creative eye, but she is an absolute pleasure to work with! Thoughtful in her designs and efficient in her execution, I could always count on her to deliver exactly what the client was looking for, even when under tight deadlines or working with unclear direction. She asks the right questions to confirm full understanding of needs, then takes that to create designs that were not only beautiful, but effective. I was honored to work with her and hope to again in the future!”
“Judy has an impeccable eye for digital design and company branding. She is a team player and always goes the extra mile when it comes to her projects. Throughout my years as a Front End Engineer, I have never seen another designer deliver such stylishly polished assets whether digital or print. She understands the limitations and capabilities of web applications and demonstrates that through her website wireframes. I don’t think you will find a designer who is easier to work with or has a better understanding of her project’s requirements.”
“Judy is AMAZING. She gives 110% on every project no matter the size or medium. Judy has a great eye for beautiful creative and can help elevate any brand. She is thoughtful in her creative and open to feedback. She is always looking out for the best interest of the company and her knowledge in the creative space is among the best. It would be great to work with her again.”
“I worked with Judy at DW Green Co. for 7+ years. I was lucky to have her as my manager, as she was always calm and professional in an extremely deadline driven work environment. She helped me to improve my own designs, and her designs served as a great source of inspiration. I would definitely recommend Judy as a visual designer, one of the best I’ve met in 14+ years as a graphic designer!”
