Barbara has been a highly valued graphic designer/resource for CP Kelco and our Global Marketing Communications team over the past five years. We value not only her creative talent, but also her true commitment to quality and client satisfaction…and she works fast! Doing her magic on presentations, digital marketing assets and more, Barbara always delivers what we need when we need it and often beats our tight deadlines. We’re thankful for her support!

Barbara is amazing to work with to take your documents to the next level. She is able to understand the "story" and translate into simple and understandable visuals that pop off the page. We have worked together on multiple documents and she is always responsive and quick to turn requests around. I will continue to use her on both our internal and external documents. I highly recommend reaching out to her so she can help you/your organization stand out.

Barbara has perfected the art of conveying information through engaging and attractive powerpoints. She can transform information from "nice" to "wow" by instinctively highlighting the right message in the right way to truly deliver visually impactful presentations.

Barbara is a creative genius! Time and again, I have asked her for help in making a digital or print piece come alive with design—and she always delivers, and then some. Not only is her work top notch, she is a fantastic partner to work with, with a constantly positive attitude and a drive for results. I will continue to call her for assistance with design projects.

"Barbara is an extremely talented design professional who just won a national gold Hermes award among FORTUNE 500 companies for the design of our global employee magazine. Beyond her graphic design skills, she is intuitive with outstanding business acumen. She has the ability to stay one step ahead of the customer and delivers work that exceeds expectations time and again. On top of that, she is unflappable with deadlines and is delightful to work with. She is an asset to any team and I consider her among the very best designers I have ever worked with after 29 years in corporate communications."

"I met Barbara through a mutual colleague who had been raving about her work. I sat on several development organizations and enlisted Barbara’s help for a few presentations (based on my colleague’s endorsement). I was pleasantly surprised by Barbara’s level of expertise and quick turnaround on requests, so much so that I continued to enlist her help on other projects. Most notably Barbara helped me with the branding for a Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) Executive Breakfast event. The WICT Southeast Board loved the look and a few of the other women asked for her assistance on their projects. Barbara’s professionalism, expertise, fast turnaround, and can-do attitude are a few examples of why she is a pleasure to work with. I will continue to use Barbara for my projects and highly recommend her to others."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Barbara over the last few years and have always been impressed with her range of knowledge, her ability to meet tight deadlines and the excellent quality of her work. From the first day, Barbara has added significant value to our work by making it more clear, concise and visually appealing. She is proficient on all of the latest versions of the most cutting edge design software and is always eager to learn new skills. I highly recommend Barbara for any graphic design position."
(James Nixon, Senior Director, Intl. Digital Strategy, Marriott International | 2013)
"Barbara has been a valuable resource for the Corporate Strategy group here at Turner. We have turned to her for help on any number of presentations for senior management as well as external business partners, and she has always delivered! Not only is the work strong, but she delivers quickly as well.
While Barbara is great at making the story more visually appealing, she more importantly also helps us present it in a way that tells the story more clearly through good use of graphics, images, layout, flow, etc. And she gets the balance between making something look good for a professional audience and "over-producing" it."
(Richard Trumble, Vice President – Strategy & Corp Dev, CNN at Turner Broadcasting | 2013)
I was fortunate enough to work with Barbara on several projects while she was at KPMG, and there are no designers that come close to her talent and her dedication. People still ask to work with her. Great design sense, great sensitivity to client directions, and great chemistry with whomever she's working with. Heartily, wholeheartedly endorse her. And miss her!
