“Desarae was fresh out of college when we had her come join our team. She was hired out of a large pool of applicants because of her passion and desire to work in the business and learn from the team around her. She was more than willing to pitch in on anything and amazed me at her ability to fit in at all levels of the business. Her energy was second to none.” November 6, 2007

“Desarae is a very creative, hard working individual and can work independently or part of a team. Desarae has fantastic design vision when working independently, or can bring your vision to life with the smallest amount of direction. I would highly recommend her to any business needing web/graphic design services. In addition to her skills as a designer she also is a delight to work with, bringing a positive attitude to any office setting.” July 9, 2008

“Desarae designed for me on a freelance basis and I can say the creative delivered was amazing and above my expecations. She is the kind of person who dives right in to challenging situations, has a creative and analytical mind-set and tackles all goals and objectives her client's lay forth for designs. Only knowing Desarae for a short period of time, it is apparent she has a great attitude and strives to go above and beyond to creative cutting edge designs and provide excellent service. She is always looking for additional and challenging projects - while ensuring details did not get overlooked. I would not hesitate to work with her again as she makes everyone better just for working around her.” January 11, 2008

“Desarae is a trust agent. I know that because when I met her in Minneapolis last year during a trip to the IABC conference, 4-5 people in the area mentioned her name. We met up at a cool little Jazz club and spent the next few hours talking about everything from business to faith to how the web is evolving. Desarae is as sharp as they come. She's had an extensive and diverse background in everything digital and has all the qualities of a natural communicator. Those skills have allowed her to build a virtual agency and make it profitable - and that's a tough business model to make work. In my mind, Des should be leading teams of people for a BIG company. She's a go getter, a diligent manager, excellent at building relationships and levels of respect and has a no BS interaction style. I'm glad to have her in my network.” August 19, 2010

I really enjoyed meeting with Desarae after finding her on here and then on twitter. She has a lot of great ideas for a young person and was very helpful with designing my business cards. They turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend contacting her for any of your design needs.

A poem...

SKIN DEEP

Some people say that beauty…
Is only as deep as the skin.
When thinking of true beauty…
I think it’s found within.

It is true that there is beauty…
That is pleasing to the eyes.
Though through the years that beauty fades…
And it’s amazing how time flies.

If we live to be a ripe old age…
Our youthful looks will start to cease.
But the beauty that’s inside of us…
Has the potential to increase.

So when we think of beauty…
Let’s use a phrase from days of old.
Our eyes they can deceive us…
And all that glitters is not gold.

My last design team was a royal disappointment. I look forward to working with you and the other freelancers. Our conversation last week was exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.
