Fun to work with! Consummate professional.

I had the pleasure of working with Holiday today on short notice for a business card design. While the task was simple, Holiday brought to the forefront exceptional attention to detail and was receptive to feedback as she worked. She designed the card in front of my eyes and incorporated a logo of my choice seamlessly into the design. After the task was complete, I was delighted to know that we shared common academic interests and I fully intend on working with her again. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
