“I am BEYOND thrilled! … Beautiful work! Love the illustration style and colors. Layout works well. You are amazing!”

“We appreciate you guys and everything your brilliant minds bring to our efforts here at 2Hawk, and your kindness and support have become something that I personally count on very much.”

“THEY ARE GORGEOUS. They feel and look delicious. THANK YOU!!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Chris Cook and Melissa Michaels on two projects this year.… The second project focused on rebranding our ‘look,’ particularly around a refresh of our logo, graphic identity, and fonts. This included the development of a brochure and other print materials for our Patrons Campaign and the development of a new template for our foundation newsletter. I found both Chris and Melissa to be easy to work with, responsive to our needs and likes/dislikes, and sensitive to our nonprofit budget constraints.”

“Thank you SO much for the incredible amount of work you’ve put into the editing! In reading through the chapters, it’s so obvious how much your touch and attention to details is improving our work. We are very lucky to have you associated with this project!”

“I believe we have an outstanding product and we are most grateful to you for creating it. This is something we can be proud of and it will definitely have a positive effect on recruitment and obtaining visibility for the new Oregon Center for the Arts @ SOU.”

“I can’t tell you how terrific you have been. Thank you so much!!!!! I will definitely recommend you to EVERYONE!!!!”

“I so appreciate all the work you are doing to get our website up and running. I have been working with a great vendor on the east coast, Big Wheel Press. He was very complimentary, ‘And one last thought. I love the masthead on your website!’”

“I’ve had numerous compliments on the website—no surprise!”

“This website was by far the single best investment I’ve made in my business since I began. I get many compliments on the look, and it sums up for prospective clients what I do even as it gives a sense of total quality.… Most importantly, it is the main way I generate business. You made the process easy, fun, and fully collaborative. You are a great listener, efficient, and I think I came out with the best possible website anyone could have created for me.”

“I left our meeting so excited. You really are superb at what you do! I’m grateful to have your help.”

“I so appreciate your thoroughness and your follow-through. You are a gem!”

“Hiring you in the very beginning was one of the best things we did to get ourselves up and running. I still LOVE our branding and website. You did such an amazing job interpreting who we are into a beautiful visual look!”

“I loved the way Melissa always stretched my imagination about style, color, and language. She was among the most creative people at SOU, and I loved working with her. I learned to appreciate, indeed love, orange, thanks to her. That last point is a minor one, but true. ;-)”

“I wanted to let you know we had a couple mention the FaceBook ad and that is what brought them to our table yesterday. He was in marketing and commented on our proactive and positive campaign.”

“WE LOVE IT!!!! You have the eyes of an artist and the patience of a master! :)”

“You were faster than Wonder Woman!!!!!”

“Everyone loves the card. It’s time to print them and celebrate! … Thank you again for your creative and diplomatic skill in guiding us through this process!”

“Amazing!! Thanks so much! I think you’ve done these faster than anyone ever has!”

“I just took a look and just about cried.… THANK YOU!!!”

“I love this. It’s soothing, uncluttered, welcoming.”

“I love the new website… You guys did great work… The photos look terrific… The layout is wonderful.”

“I just looked at the website and it’s looking SO freaking awesome : )”

“Holy Guacamole! All of this is very cool!!!! I am so impressed with the massive amount of work you’ve done, Melissa!!!!”

“I love the website! It’s so much better than anything else in this local market. It’s on par with well-established wineries from places like Sonoma and Napa.”

“You are the best communicator I’ve ever experienced!!! Seriously!”

“I so value what you do: everything about it—your promptness; your advice; your attention to detail.”

“Thank you!!! It was so good to see you today. You’re such an amazingly talented person. It’s so great working with you.”
