"I had the opportunity to observe Arlene working for a friend of mind on logo creation. I was so impressed with her I hired her to help me develop a logo for a new project and I was very impressed. We had an introductory talk, she got me some initial concepts, I ran with one, she returned several iterations of the concept, we tweaked one a bit and got it all done in less than a week. She took the feedback I gave her exceptionally well, never got defensive as some creatives can do, and even stood up to me and told me very politely why something I wanted to do with the logo wouldn't be a good idea And she was right. I'd have no problem hiring her again, and I would recommend her services."

Bring her on board and then just leave her to it. You won’t be disappointed.“

Arlene took the time to meet with a number of employees and even walked the plant floor in order to get a better understanding of the business and what was required to deliver on our requirements. The changes she helped us put in play are still relevant 5 years later! I would strongly encourage any business looking for a fresh start or revamp of their brand and/or website to contact Arlene.”

”Our 501c3 nonprofit, Partnership for Innovation in Education (PIE) hired Arlene to create our website from scratch! We needed to create a high impact design, offering a content template that was engaging and easy to use. Arlene created a GREAT website design for us at our budgeted cost. She provided a "hands-on" strategic direction that start-ups and nonprofits fully appreciate. Moreover, she helped cut costs by recommending options we never considered. In general, she was a great translator of web design, brand engagement, and she provided creative direction to an organization new to social media and electronic marketing. She continues to be an asset to our organization. Finally, our website has received national praise for its utility and reader engagement.”
