TESTIMONIALS

As our Brand Storyteller, she has worked closely with leadership to define the FLAVVRR design language, prioritize key projects based on the true needs of our sales cycle (which eliminates wasted resources), craft effective business development collateral, and source creative technology for delivering dope experiences to our prospects. Her skills are extensive. She’s always willing to work with new clients and partners to up-level creative projects and often challenges our team to think differently. ...Would highly recommend Cate to any company, growing or enterprise level as a necessary addition to their arsenal.

I have worked with Cate for several years now, and very much appreciate her fun and positive approach to creation, not to mention her professionalism with both myself and my clients.  I have utilized her talents for several projects, including the creation of 2 logos, various marketing materials and a promo deck, as well as onsite graphics operator for large scale corporate events.  Cate always brings several great ideas to the table, and delivers high quality product.  I especially appreciate her flexibility and open mind during the revision process.  Pele is THE way to go!

Working with Cate was an absolute dream. I have worked with her on countless large corporate events (with high demands and little turnaround time), and I was always thankful to have her skills to rely on. When I formed my own company and needed a logo, I knew right where to go! The design process was easy, fast, and exceeded my expectations.
