I have worked with a lot of designers over the years, Linda blows them all away. Her product is always superbly designed, capturing the mood of each project; she hits the mark on with her first draft, every time. Never missed a deadline, conversely Linda is usually early. Linda is easy to work with and her attention to detail is second to none. I will never go anywhere else for graphic design. Linda is the BEST.
