“I had the opportunity to work with Colleen on a virtual group project to redesign San Francisco’s Japanese Tea Garden website. Colleen’s forte in Visual Design shined throughout the project. She demonstrated her ability to deliver high-caliber results by her careful focus of specific brand elements and story-driven rework of the site’s interface. Colleen’s understanding of the visual journey helped mold the narrative of the redesign. Being collaborative and understanding, her hardworking nature and creative skillset makes her a superb team player. I strongly recommend Colleen to any team in need of a branding guru.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Colleen on a group project focused on a Kombucha rebrand. Through learning about the brand and story, Colleen had a solid understanding of the brand attributes and conducted in-depth research on visuals that pinpointed the client's focus. She has a great eye for imagery that is consistent in tone and personality. Demonstrated a good understanding of what the client envisioned, applied it through a style scape, designed thoroughly, and detail-focused. It covered every aspect of what the client asked but also went beyond expectations to show the client the possibilities for innovation. Colleen accepted and implemented all constructive criticism positively, with her humble personality and creative talent. I highly recommend her to any design team.”
