Testimonials

"I was a graphic design client of Katy for several years at Farmers. Working with Katy was an enjoyable process because she was professional, prompt and organized. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates and sought out creative feedback from her clients. She's a skilled designer and regularly would provide options that were based on feedback and then often entirely new ideas for us to react to and consider. I believe she would be a tremendous asset for next team and make her clients completely satisfied."
John Chisholm, Former Sponsorship Director, Farmers Insurance
