I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Margaret Hanson of Margaret Hanson Design Co.
Margaret designed my calendar, How to Grow Winter-harvest Vegetables, A Teaching Calendar 2010, as well as my business cards. She did an outstanding job; response from clients, retailers, and the public has been spontaneously complimentary.
The calendar was not an easy task. My requirements were specific and unique. I had interviewed several design artists and companies and found Margaret’s approach and vision superior. Throughout, Margaret listened carefully, adapted ideas to meet my needs and vision, made excellent suggestions as I learned the process of taking my idea through to finished product, and guided me through decisions for the best outcome. Her creativity and originality surpassed my expectations and she never lost sight of my criteria. I couldn’t be happier.
Margaret is professional, reliable, and prompt. Her artistic eye is superb. Her gentle communication style is welcoming and supportive. All in all, it has been a pleasure working with her and I look forward to our continued relationship.

To whom it may concern;

I have had the pleasure of working with Margaret Hanson on several occasions in the process of branding my company. She has been the creative vision behind my company logo as well as some small marketing pamphlets. She produced for me Graphics that were used on my vehicle, the signage of my premises, my business card and the business cards of all my employees, as well as my letterhead.

Margaret made the process go very smoothly by not only supplying me with various proofs and samples but also serving as liaison between myself and the sign company, providing any requested file formats. She also placed the printing order based on her experience working in a professional print shop.

She displayed remarkable patience and originality in the design process. Having gone through many different versions of my logo, as a result of my indecisiveness, she remained attentive and consistently came to the table with new and innovative ideas. Never one to rehash something she’s already done, Margaret excels in offering a broad range of choice to the individual client and would serve well a diverse group of companies and their needs.

Sincerely
Lee Glasgow

Margaret Hanson designed the logo and business card for my fledgling business. As the owner/operator of a small business that prides itself on the relationships with my clients, I was on the look out for a graphic designer that had the same feel.

Starting your own company can be expensive and as a small business, with limited resources, one really has to know that you are getting value for your money. Margaret Hanson Design Company was not cheapest nor was she the most expensive, she was, however, by far, the most attentive in the service she provided. The old adage “you get what you pay for” was most certainly the case in this instance. I was never once made to feel that my new business was somehow less important than a larger and more established company.

The process from start to finish was incredibly smooth and she was always available whenever issues arouse from having my cards printed to using the logo on my website. Margaret was super efficient with the whole process taking less than a week.

I would highly recommend Margaret Hanson Design Company if you are looking for a graphic designer. In fact, I would run, not walk, to Margaret Hanson before she becomes too busy and too popular.

Testimonial for Margaret Hanson Design Co

I had the pleasure of working with Margaret on both the redesign of our quarterly newsletter, and production of our 2006-07 Annual Report. As my graphic design volunteer for almost a year and a half, Margaret also designed and laid out subsequent newsletters. She could always be counted on to come through under tight deadlines, often working evenings and weekends to ensure a quality product.

Margaret was always very flexible and displayed amazing patience with any changes made, and ensured the process went very smoothly from beginning to end.

I was very sorry to lose Margaret as our graphic design volunteer, but so proud to see the launch of her new business and how it has grown and flourished since! I would very much value an opportunity to work with Margaret again, and thank her sincerely for sharing her time, skills and talents with us. I would recommend the services of Margaret Hanson Design Co. without hesitation.
