“There are not enough words I can say to express how amazed I am with Courtney's work. I have had a specific vision for a while and no other graphic designer has been able to come close to nailing it. Courtney absolutely knocked it out of this world! I was apprehensive at first because my vision was different from her style but she gave me full confidence that she could deliver.. and she did. My expectations were exceeded and I will be recommending her to all of my photographer and small business friends. Courtney is seriously worth EVERY PENNY!”

Client Q&A
How do you feel about the final result of your and Courtney’s work together?: I am absolutely awestruck at the work Courtney has done for me.
Did the finished designs meet, exceed or fall short of your expectations? Why do you feel this way?: Courtney definitely exceeded my expectations. She had super creative ideas for alternative logos that I never could have thought of on my own. There were so many options to choose from and they were all SO good. It was really hard to choose which one I liked the most!
What part of Courtney’s design process did you enjoy the most? Why?: I enjoyed filling out the questionnaire and I also enjoyed how excited she seemed to be to work on my logo. She seemed genuinely interested in what I wanted and that made me feel really good about my ideas. The questionnaire went in-depth about my business and you can really tell she cares a lot about her clients. She wants to know your business and everything you stand for inside-and-out.
Do you feel like the end product and experience was worth more, just right, or less than the amount you paid? Please explain!: I feel like it was worth every penny and honestly if I would've seen more work like what she did for me, I would've felt confident in paying more than I did. I was nervous because her style seemed to be different than I was looking for but I'm happy I decided to inquire anyway because she was able to do exactly what I wanted but 100x better.
If you recommended Courtney’s services to a friend, how would you describe the experience of working with her?: I would tell them she could do absolutely anything and still exceed their expectations. The turn around was quick and she delivered sooner than I expected. It was a SUPER nice surprise when I received the email that she was finished with the first draft.
What would you say to someone who’s on the fence about working with Courtney?: I would basically explain everything I've said above. It was an investment but well worth it. I don't think I could have rebranded without her. I don't think anyone else could have nailed what I wanted like she did.
