“Anna is really fantastic. She has an incredible design sense and is a pleasure to work with because she immediately picks up on direction and then takes the concept and improves it. She always keeps up with industry trends and always pushes to make each project the best it can be. She works well both independently and in a group setting and is always cheery and upbeat.”

managed Anna at Yeshiva University, New York, NY

“Anna is a great website designer to work with, and has shown through her dedication to us (Digital Edge) how much she cares about understanding our business and how we want our image to be perceived. Prior to hiring her, I went through an extremely rough time searching for designers. I was requesting samples from multiple designers and paying ridiculous fees to be disappointed every time. All of the designers never took the time to listen to what I was saying, or how I wanted my company’s brand to be expressed-all designers but one. I would highly recommend her for her dedication, creativity, and professionalism.”
