When it came to developing the visual identity for our company, we chose to work with Abby because of her artistic approach to design and incredible professionalism. Her process is comprehensive and imaginative. We brought her loose ideas of what we were thinking and she turned them into absolutely stunning designs that gave our company a full visual identity. She went above and beyond to educate our team on the best ways to implement the designs. She is organized, brilliant, quick to respond, and delightful to work with.

Working with Abby on my small business graphic design concept has been such a dream — from the initial logo and branding creation on through a paper and packaging suite, website graphics, and apparel design. She has such a tasteful vision and thoughtful approach, truly listens and incorporates your ideas, and then brings it to life in a way that’s better than what you could have hoped for! I’ve loved having unique and personalized branding in such high quality for my company — it sets a professional and creative tone from first glance.
