“Susan is hand’s down one of the best graphic designers our agency has had the opportunity to work with. We used her to develop social media campaign graphic pages, print collateral, etc. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with her on a high-end parenting publication called Kidaround. One of the reasons over 60,000 readers are engaged with Kidaround is because of the quality and attention to detail of Susan’s layout work. Just can’t say enough about the results and would recommend her to anyone looking for brand, print, layout, and/or social-web.”
—Josh Unfried, CEO at WindFarm Marketing
“Susan was AMAZING to work with. I had NO idea what I wanted as a logo, but after Susan questioned me on a few things, she came up with so many perfect options, and we had created exactly what we wanted. That was just the beginning. She worked tirelessly on selecting the correct color palette, and creating designs that encompassed exactly what our business needed. I literally get compliments on our logo and signs EVERY day. Susan cared about the product that we walked away with. She truly went above and beyond and I will forever refer people to her looking for any type of design help. Thank you Susan!”
—Jamie Pierroz, Owner of Pierroz Real Estate Group
“Susan has a beautiful eye for design and creates products that are unique, professional and a true reflection of the brand. Her approach is not a one size fits all model; she knows how to reach each audience and does so on time, in budget, and with a great attitude. I love Susan’s ability to create work that makes a lasting impression, but even more, I appreciate her great attitude and follow through. There are good designers, and then there are great designers. Susan is the latter.”
—Lesley Miller, Editor for Kidaround Magazine
“We collaborated closely with Susan on a complete rebrand of our company—new logo, document templates, literally everything that represents our face in the market. Susan’s deep understanding of everything from color psychology to how the brain takes in information was instrumental in creating a look and a voice for our company that is conveyed through the documents and iconic representation we put out to our clients every day. She was an integral part of creating a vision that brings our company to life for people who are simply reading a document. Our personality and humanity is conveyed by the active layout and colors she chose, the style of graphic we place on the paper, and how we lay text across a page so that it is more easily digested in the memory. The rebranding of our company and use of completely different proposal and document layouts has resulted in a significant increase in our win rates—up to 50% in some markets, and a minimum of a 30% increase across the board. We hear constantly from our clients that they love the look and readability of our documents and that just as a first impression, it was a factor in the selection decision. We couldn’t have done it without Susan.”
—Lori Tracy, Vice President, Marketing for Bender Rosenthal, Inc.
“After patiently working through several rounds of a book design based on my specifications, Susan offered a bold new look based on her ‘instincts.’ The result was more beautiful and more powerful than anything I had imagined. Susan took the time to understand the message of my book, then created a visual depiction of that message. Her emotional investment in my project was reflected in her care for detail. Her use of symbol, light, and composition invited the reader in. I’m still receiving compliments on my book. Most of them are about its cover.”
—Nathan Oates, Author & Pastor of Emmaus Church Community
“Susan is an extremely talented graphic designer whose ability to understand her client’s needs and transform them into a powerful, communicative piece of art, makes her a joy to work with. Susan is both professional and patient. The Friends’ bi-yearly newsletter is refreshing, easy to read and more economical to print and send than in previous years. After the success with our newsletter, we used Susan again for the new logo for our signature event. Our new logo is current, eye catching, and easy to use across all mediums. I would highly recommend Susan Leeson Design for any graphic design needs.”
—Maria Sperber, President of Friends of the Crisis Nurseries
“I have used Susan many times for marketing graphics and ads for our clients. Susan understands the importance of using marketing knowledge combined with design expertise to create the most effective graphics packages. She creates professional, high quality graphics that are unique to each brand. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and flexibility are some of the reasons that our agency works with her again and again.
