I am constantly getting compliments on the packaging and website artwork and am proud to tell my admirers about Courtney. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for creativity and professionalism wrapped with an astute sense of aesthetics. Courtney is a joy to work with and I am honored to have worked with her so closely for over a year as my exclusive designer.
—Beth, CEO, Yohelem Ilsley Tea
I’ve worked with Courtney on various marketing design projects as a freelancer. What sets her apart is the fact that her work not only looks beautiful, it also conveys meaning. She’s that rare design professional who takes the time to understand the client’s objectives and target audience, and ensures that the aesthetics fit the branding and marketing strategy. As a writer, I especially appreciate the fact that she actually reads the copy she's working with—it’s not just typography to her, it’s a message that needs to be understood. She’s also conscientious with deadlines and is very easy to work with. I recommend highly.
