“My company was a new face in Marcom in the Bay Area and I needed a graphic designer who offered the unusual combination of brilliant design instincts and solid common sense. Caren offered exactly what we needed. She brought flair, understanding and complete professionalism to the table. Her quick turnaround time on every project, from dot-coms to religious organizations, was matched by her unique ability to conceptualize outside the box, her impeccable sense of layout and her strong skills as a project manager. It's been both profitable and a pleasure to work with her.”

“I have worked with Caren for five years and have been so impressed by her professionalism, her creativity and her integrity. Caren is now the first person I think of when I need design or copywriting services. Her work is outstanding!”
 
Lindsey Starr,
Marketing Manager, The Senior’s Choice

“I saw a dozen or more people I know improve their business appearance by working with Caren for logo, business card, Web site and collateral material design or re-design. Finally I broke down and worked with her too. Caren brings great expertise, extensive experience, marketing knowledge and the ability to work easily towards her client's goal. She does not insert her ego into the process, but instead takes the best of client's ideas, making it work beautifully. Caren is a real pleasure to work with. She is responsive, dependable, and has a wonderful, positive attitude. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“I was in desperate need of a contract catalog project manager who could hit the ground running and handle all aspects of a complex catalog process—from concept to printed piece. Our IDG catalogs were used by our national sales force to sell our Dummies, Frommer's, Webster’s New World, and Betty Crocker titles into numerous channels. Caren showed tremendous calm and competence in handling the myriad product that arise in introducing product that doesn't tangibly exist yet (!) She lent her substantial creative talents to every catalog she managed and effectively juggled the macro and micro issues that invariably cropped up in getting these catalogs out at the speed of light. I said on more than one occasion that I wished I could clone her!”

Rose Marie Cleese,
Catalog Manager, IDG Books Worldwide

“Caren is a very organized and efficient business woman. She is great at managing projects and groups and has excellent time management skills. She is good at motivating others and has a great sense of humor, integrity, excellent communication skills, great attention to detail and a practical approach to her projects.”

Leslie Moore,

“Caren designed the logo and letterhead for my corporation. That was several years ago. To this day, everytime I look at the logo I smile. Great job and much appreciated.”
