TESTIMONIALS

Whenever Susan Barclay is working on a design job for me, I don't have to worry about a thing. I know the job will be done on time and to spec. I also am confident that she'll make her designs align with the look of my branding, while making each piece she does still stand out in creative ways. She's very conscientious, carefully going over the details of the job specs and schedule as well as her final work to make certain it's just what I need. Plus, she's very personable and a delight to work with. I recommend Susan highly. Ernie RideoutMarketing DirectorStanford Jazz Workshop We hire Susan time and time again to lead the design (both cover and interior) of our print products -- her thinking is exceptional; I know I can count on Susan to make our visions a reality beyond our expectations. Several of the projects Susan has worked on have won awards and lead our publication line in sales. Susan is extraordinary at what she does; she is one of the best kept secrets in the design world. Jamie Ann CrossEditorial ManagerMath Solutions, a division of Scholastic Inc.Susan teamed up with me to do a series of projects over three years. Smart and organized, Susan never buckles under pressure, always remains clear-minded and kind: a rare and admirable trait. She has a designer's eye but is also open to ideas, for which she clearly details the action steps. She's in control and will guide you with such insightful kindness and she can collaborate. Then, when life throws curve balls (as we all know too well in the creative business) she is flexible, thoughtful and quick to make adjustments. In the end, you will have, in your hand, pure loveliness. Susan is a dream.Alexis R. Cohen, M.A.Founder / PrincipalMorning Sky Public Relations I hired Susan to create a new logo for my business.
