Testimonials
"Cori just gets us!
Not Because our firm is a special case study, but because Like many small business owners, carrying bundles of pressure, you can easily feel stuck creatively. This is where Cori comes in. Her work in my opinion is a gift given the obvious; willingness to listen, skillsets and expertise that translate ideas into tangibles, the ability to balance patience with being process driven. Yet, her willingness to offer herself as a vessel for our brand is what resonates the most. We are still in awe of her work and eager to continue on with her as both a designer and brand strategist."

"Cori was an incredible collaborator to work with on my personal website portfolio. When I came to her with a desire to tell my complex story, she helped me distill all my ideas down and created a website that is easy to navigate and understand. Cori is skilled at not only making your ideas a reality, but also interrogating those ideas and getting to the heart of what will resonate with your audience."
