“Working with Donna was a dream come true. For 6 years I tried to find the right designer who understood my personal brand. I wasted so much time and money on design styles that I had to toss out. With one simple conversation with Donna, she was able to completely understand the look, feel and message I wanted to put out to the world. Her designs were all clean, clear and spoke to the very essence of my business. Donna is the real deal, an absolute treasure and a joy to work with. If you don’t believe me, just look at my website, podcast art, logo!”

There is no brand designer that I am aware of who balances such uncommon attunement to her clients’ personal style and needs, yet also manages to bring 100% of her own refined taste and passion to the collaboration. It is an unbeatable combination!”
