What Clients Say About Working with Me
“Working to develop a logo for my company with Anna was exactly what I was hoping: clear, creative and collaborative. Anna is a great designer, with natural flare, style and understanding of the medium , but equally importantly, she's a great guide and a great listener. Working with Anna the process is clear and productive; she really helped me to identify what it was about my company and my target clients that I wanted the logo to communicate, and at each stage of the process the designs that Anna presented to me were fantastic visualisations of what I was hoping would emerge from our discussions and explorations. Throughout the design process Anna's expertise made me feel safe and excited the same time. Anna is a truly talented graphic designer.”
Oli Campbell-Smith, Artman English
"Working with Anna was great! She's knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and amazing at turning my unclear ideas into visuals that truly fit my brand. The design variations she provided were extremely helpful, especially for an overthinker like me. I’d definitely recommend her for her expertise, great work, clear communication, and on-time delivery. I look forward to working with her again on future projects."
Suzanne Herchak, Standing Cedars Integrative Health

If you’d rather have someone do updates for you, I offer optional Website Updates & Maintenance services — from one-off edits to monthly support.
