Testimonials

“I have worked alongside Brandi for 11 years, and know her to be a very dedicated and talented designer.

She has a rare combination of technical and creative skills that come in handy when working with developers. Brandi is also an outstanding collaborator and always very respectful of the different working styles you find on large development teams. I have always loved her designs. She has a knack for simplicity and elegance, and I have even hired her to work on personal projects.”

– Daniel McKenzie (manager)

“Brandi was my manager at my first real job out of college, and she made me so excited about working in web and design!

Her design work is both polished and fresh. As my manager, she was encouraging, enthusiastic, and inspiring and I loved working with her.

I learned a lot under her tutelage; I count myself as one of the lucky ones who got a good starting point for my career and continuous learning — in large part, it was thanks to Brandi.”

– Alexis Findiesen (direct report)

“Brandi is a very talented graphic designer who is passionate about her work.

A pleasure to work with, Brandi brings her creative talents to bear on any size project. She delivers work quickly and on-target, and accepts feedback on design work from peers and clients with aplomb. In addition, her skills as a web developer make her exceedingly flexible, as she is able to design and build websites using a variety of media. I would recommend her to any company looking for an experienced designer / developer.”

– Drew Schneider (colleague)

“Brandi is a wonderful and very creative person, and I look forward to opportunities to refer her to colleagues and friends.

I’m very happy to recommend Brandi, who took a visual concept we provided and created a fantastic new web site for the National Building Museum. She has an amazing ability to translate a static design into a fully functioning website, and our working relationship was absolutely positive. The process was smooth and Brandi was able to pay close attention to replicating pixel-perfect detail.”

– Vladimir Zabavskiy (client)

About design

“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible.”
