Client Review
“I tasked Sara to help me design a cover for an e-book I was self-publishing. I was a typical client: I had a
vague notion of what I wanted, but certainly not a tangible idea. Sara asked me some pointed questions,
and we brainstormed a bit. She looked over my photographs and pointed to one without hesitation:
"Everything you described is conveyed in this photograph." And she was correct. I hadn't seen it. Within an
hour I had four or five mockups. I picked the one I liked best. I inquired about the font, which required Sara
to conduct some research. About 30 minutes later, she submitted the final mockup. It was everything I
wanted and more. Her passion for my small project matched my own. Working with Sara was a wonderfully
collaborative experience, not once did I feel less than important to her as a client. I look forward to working
with her again in the future.”
