Testimonials

“Our entire team loves working with Libby for all our direct mail and design needs at the Pennsylvania SPCA. Not only is she incredible at what she does, she is a pleasure to work with — responsive, imaginative, creative, and thoughtful. Working on animal welfare stories can be difficult, considering we are dealing with some of the worst people and animal cases imaginable, yet Libby always handles sensitive stories with extreme care. I enjoy that she employs such a collaborative process where we can bounce ideas off each other — ultimately creating pieces that resonate with our donors and help advance our mission.”

Christina DiBartolo, PSPCA

“Working with Libby on our Impact Report was a pleasure. She set clear deadlines, which made managing the project so much easier. I appreciate how thoughtfully she worked to understand our organization's look and feel, her attentiveness to detail, and her openness to feedback from our team. Libby was always proactive in checking in and asking clarifying questions, and I could trust completely that she’d always deliver. She made the whole process smooth and enjoyable!”

Chelsea Brinegar

“I had the most enjoyable experience working with Ventura Graphic Design on our recent impact report. Libby is incredibly organized and responsive. I especially appreciated her thoughtful suggestions when we needed creative solutions to fit content into limited space.

Libby’s project management process stood out, making the experience smooth and efficient from start to finish. The client portal and Adobe project management tools were easy to navigate, which was a huge help given my busy schedule.

The entire process felt streamlined and well-managed—just what I needed. I’m grateful for Libby’s professionalism and creative eye, and I look forward to working with her again!”

“The end product was great. I appreciated your creative problem solving which took us from the unknown to a design that the client loved. I found your creativity, flexibility, and responsiveness to be exactly what this project needed.”

Justin Barra

“In addition to greatly improving the design and readability from the originals (and in each iteration), you have been responsive to our requests above expectations. This project has entailed very tight turnarounds, including changes to previously agreed upon deadlines. This project was vital to our funder relationship, and your flexibility and high quality work helped us meet their expectations.”

VGD Client

“Working with you was easy and enjoyable, and we are so pleased with the report! Sometimes it seems like designers don't give the content a lot of thought, but your layout and design really helped the content make more sense and flow better. I appreciate that you take time to consider what we're trying to communicate in addition to what the product looks like.”

Amanda Jones

“I have never met a better graphic designer than you. In every way, you are the best. Your eye; your understanding of the team’s needs and our brand; your ability to create different projects, each with a different personality but still reflective of the organization's overall look and feel; your careful attention to detail; your quick turnaround; your willingness to give us different design options; your patience whenever we have yet another round of edits; and your professionalism... I could go on and on. It truly is such a pleasure to work with you, Libby. You absolutely set the standard in my mind.”

Leila Walsh

Katy Cummings

“Usually when working with a graphic designer, I expect a fair amount of iteration on a project to get the design right. However, your first draft of the documents I asked you to design where spot on and exactly what I was looking for. I was 100% satisfied with your work and the process.”

Annie Morrison

“I appreciate our smooth working relationship where you understand our needs and brand really well, so it makes the process easy and I trust in your talents and ability to realize our needs.

“Tomorrow, ECHO Learning celebrates its 2-year anniversary of doing this work full time. I was doing some number-crunching and found that we've provided direct support to schools, school systems, and nonprofits collectively serving over 957,000 kiddos in 7 states and 2 countries since 2021. Your work in partnership with us has been immensely helpful to crystalize our approach and share with the world how we can help. Thank you!”

Elliott Witney

“Libby was great to work with! She was fast, flexible, very clear in her communication, and, most importantly, did an awesome job turning our ugly slides into something we felt great presenting to potential funders. When we sent the pitch deck around for feedback, the first comment that came back was "the deck is gorgeous - who did it for you?!”

Ary Amerikaner

“I candidly cannot say enough about Libby, other than she's the only person we ever use for anything that needs to be designed well, simply, and on time, ten years running.”
