About & Testimonials

“In one word: she’s golden.”

“Bethany is a tremendous design resource for any company. She is able to work in a variety of different environments and interact with a wide-ranging list of stakeholders when compiling designs. She sets aggressive deadlines for herself and consistently meets them. And most importantly, she is as quick as any designer I’ve met in making calculated adjustments to improve designs based on user feedback, stakeholder responses, and real-time use data. I would recommend her as a lead designer on nearly any project!”

“Bethany’s enthusiasm and friendly, outgoing personality perfectly complimented her creativity and technical skill while on our project. She took on each task with energy that buoyed the whole team, regardless of demand or deadline; and we could count on her fluency in our digital toolkit to deliver interesting designs that supported user, business, and engineering goals. Her eagerness to learn and share—from new Sketch plugins to new books to new techniques—was also apparent, and is something I appreciate in Bethany even beyond our project involvement.”

“Bethany makes meetings joyful. Her bubbly enthusiasm makes the team fun. However, enthusiasm alone doesn’t make a great consultant, but Bethany has the skills to back up her enthusiasm. When a client makes a suggestion, she follows up. When her work is either complimented or criticized, she accepts the comments with grace and takes the appropriate action. When she’s given a task, she really owns it, and she wants to see it done as quickly and as fully as possible. My team is better for Bethany’s involvement.”

“Upon meeting Bethany, the first thing I did was explain to her what the our project was like. I left no soul crushing detail out. I explained the things that made everyone on the project want to bang their head on something, and after doing so she still sounded legitimately excited about being on the project.

This was my first insight into her character and I didn’t know what to think of it at the time. Was she actually listening to the things I was saying? Did she not believe me? Did she think this was an exaggeration?

What I’ve found from working with her over the last few weeks is that this is the main insight into her character. She never seems to be intimidated by a problem or task, always ready to just jump in even though she knows she has no idea what it will turn into. She seems to see even the most draining task as a place to hone her skills, and not just her design skills, but also her communication skills and her problem solving skills.”

“We were super impressed with the level of detail and thoroughness that she was able to deliver in the short amount of time given. She was enthusiastic, asked good questions, and built way beyond what was expected. We now have a robust Sketch file with lots of symbols and components that will make building future comps go much faster. I’d love to keep using her for work whenever she is available.”

“Bethany and I worked together on a custom web application project for Code for Good West Michigan. As the primary developer, I was in regular contact with Bethany as we smoothed out user experience details and additional UI design work needed to complete the job. Bethany impressed me with her clean layouts, robust communication, and collaborative approach. Bethany set timeframe expectations for deliverables and kept us up to date on progress; there was never a time where we were “in the dark” or left hanging with a lack of visual assets. I very much enjoyed working with Bethany and would certainly not hesitate to do so again.”

“Bethany’s design sense is both fresh and on point. She produces beautiful work that makes you take a second—and third—look. She is wonderful to work with: organized, responsive, timely, receives feedback well, and very professional.”

“Bethany delivers solid art direction, branding, and problem solving. She’s a multifaceted designer — print or digital — and a wonderful colleague.”

“Bethany was an instant asset for our communications and marketing department. She walked in the door as a freshman loaded with creativity and potential. She walks out our door with a resume and portfolio that should give confidence to any future employer. She is gifted with an innate design sense and shifts easily between mediums—print, web, photography. She is a delight to be around, bringing a cheerful ambiance to her workspace and energizing those around her. She’s constantly honing her craft, researching design trends, and sharing with others. Her manner is professional and she has learned to handle clients in a way that makes them want to work with her. Her work flat out speaks for itself.”

“Bethany’s greatest strengths are her responsiveness and being comfortable with constructive criticism. We were very impressed at her quick turn around on projects and her availability to our team. Bethany was a pleasure to work with, accepting feedback graciously and taking extra care to familiarize herself with our brand.”

“Her rare combination of high speed, high accuracy design is a gift — as is her abundant creativity. Add to these skills Bethany’s keen ability to hold her own ideas loosely in order to best meet a client’s needs, and you have a blue-chip designer. We say all the time, ‘I wish I could work with Bethany.’”

“Her work is so subtle, beautiful, and uses graceful color as an underpinning play on design—an extra touch that is so important. People register the brand in their heads so quickly!”

“From designing campaign posters to meeting with me and encouraging me; I really don’t think I would be a Vice President without all of her help. She stuck it out with me. She supported me and most importantly she made it happen.”
