“It was a pleasure working with Crystal to develop our brand guidelines and template presentations. She was responsive, provided daily updates, and was on track throughout our project. She went above and beyond the initial scope of work by providing additional options and - frankly - teaching us what we didn’t know. She’s thoughtful, highly talented, and a consummate professional. We look forward to working with her in the future and strongly recommend her design skills.”
