_I contacted Michelle Van Diest regarding some new business cards for my massage business.  I wanted something that was unique and not what every other massage person has designed from the online business card places.  She e-mailed me a few different ideas and was spot on!  She listens to what the client wants and goes from there.  Her price is very reasonable and her work is excellent.  I am very happy with my new business cards.  I won't hesitate to recommend her to others and will definitely come back for more!

“Michelle is one of the most trustworthy and honorable people I have had in my many years of business. Hired right out of college, and Michelle rose to the occasion in many facets of graphic design, and website building. With one of the companies being a start up, her influence in the design, and multiple changes a fast growing start up needs were immeasurable. On a personal note, she is truly dedicated to her craft, and to the people she commits herself to as an employee. She reflects the same qualities in her personal life as well, stable, honorable, and an overall joy to be around. She is an asset to any company that will have her. This is NOT a canned response for her, this is a true assessment of Michelle, as she worked for three of my companies over many years.”

"Michelle is a talented graphic designer with an artistic eye as well as a wealth of technical skills at her fingertips. She produced a stunning flyer and tickets for a tango concert I hosted, offering me several creative options while always happily and quickly accommodating my requests for a series of edits. The end result was a beautiful poster which garnered many compliments from viewers. Michelle is an artist who's easy to work with -- a winning combination!"

I hired Michelle to create a logo for me for my new business and have been extremely happy with the results! I'm sure I wasn't the easiest person to work with because I had a specific idea in my mind, but after one or two exchanged emails, Michelle was able to create exactly what I was looking for! I met Michelle when I was the Director of Marketing at Custom Rx Shoppe and she did all the logo design and much of the marketing material I used for the pharmacy. She is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient in the work she does--not only does she create professional, quality designs, but she is also very affordable. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to others looking for an exceptional graphic designer.
