“Linda is very detail oriented, with a design style that can be described as clean and elegant. She never missed a deadline and was more organized than anyone in the group. Always professional and up-front to ensure expectations were understood and met. If I were to branch out and start my own company, she would be the first person I would call to join me.”

Karen Kamberg, Associate Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather Advertising

“I worked with Linda Prescott on multiple projects, from print and banner ads to brochures, fact sheets and direct marketing materials. She is a true expert in the strategy, design and execution of creative materials. Projects were always delivered on time and often under budget. Always friendly, patient and reliable, she was a very valuable member of our team.”

Mary Ann Ranalli, VP, Senior Marketing Manager at Jefferies & Company Inc.

“Linda is a gifted designer. She combines her talents with strong communication skills to deliver a graphic solution to increase business results. I hired her to deliver graphic solutions for a seminar series, several items (including brand identity and its extensions) that needed to inspire an audience and satisfy a challenging client. She more than delivered. When I work with her I know she’ll provide creative designs, on target, on time, on budget, and also have the resources to expand the solutions to other media with ease. I look forward to working with her again.”
