Carolyn is a trusted advisor who understands our messages and goals and makes us look our best.

We have worked together since 2002 and I have entrusted her with high-profile, high-impact projects. She has regularly worked with our CEO, creating many complex business strategy and financial projection presentations for our Board of Directors, and frequently travels worldwide to support top-level executives presenting to global audiences.

She has assisted with critical RFPs, translated complicated engineering diagrams into clear educational materials for our sales force, and designed the presentations we use to introduce our new value proposition to all of our audiences, internal and external.

She is amazing in the quality of her work, critical thinking, professionalism, and ability to collaborate with people across the organization. I know that when I engage her for a project, I can relax and trust that she will get it done on time, in budget and on message.

I value her partnership and am glad she is a part of my team.

I work with Carolyn because she has the rare combination of business knowledge and design talent. 

Her well-conceived, thoughtful input to and execution of the layout of our Brand Planning Template made it easier to use, reducing the burden on my staff. This has led to clearer and more impactful annual marketing plans than earlier templates.

As Vice President of a large private real estate development and management firm, I needed someone I could trust to work with multiple teams, complex projects and sometimes challenging team dynamics. Carolyn did that... and more.

She developed high-end, targeted marketing materials for our properties, including hotels, apartment buildings, and large malls. I was so impressed with her keen business insights, that I engaged her to join me in providing marketing education to the staff of one of our premier properties.

Carolyn's excellent people skills, design savvy and intelligence make her an outstanding investment. I highly recommend her!

Carolyn jumped right in and swiftly learned the firm's culture and messaging to produce materials that were consistent with our brand. She works easily with attorneys and marketing managers, inspiring confidence in her abilities and clear thinking. She's quick, smart, personable and she delivers!

Carolyn is a star! She has a keen sense of design and a true understanding of corporate messaging. She gracefully handles complex, time-sensitive and simultaneous demands. I never hesitate to ask her to work directly with clients, including senior executives of large multi-national corporations. If you are looking for a designer who goes the extra mile, Carolyn's the one for you!

—Rick Preston, CEO, Preston Productions

Carolyn asks the right questions and intuitively gets the big picture. She has helped us zero in on the right messaging, increasing the effectiveness of our marketing materials by translating ideas into compelling images. 
 
In a meeting with representatives of a world leader in luxury goods, I witnessed an example of the potential impact of her work. The seamless integration of visual imagery and message allowed the client to quickly grasp a complex, yet core, aspect of our proposal. In fact, one of the meeting attendees took it upon himself to explain our message to a late-arriving colleague using one of the charts that Carolyn created to make his point. Carolyn's deep business understanding, professionalism and commitment to our success have made collaborating with her a wise investment.

I've been using Stillwell Design since 2001 and have always had outstanding results. Carolyn has a clean, crisp aesthetic sense, but even more importantly she gives very accurate proposals and has never missed a committed delivery date. She is a very clear communicator and excels even when face-to-face meetings aren't possible. I have referred Stillwell Design to other businesses, and they have all been pleased with the quality of work.
