what’s she like…
A lot of people can be sceptical about testimonials, have they been writen by friends and family, did they give their permission to use them, are they telling the truth?
So, for what it's worth I only have testimonials on my site from my clients and suppliers that have worked with me, that have recommended me and that have written in their own words (not held at pencil point) what they want to write about me.
And here is what they have to say...
client talk…
The final result has been an extremely well designed range of marketing material with a consistent brand identity. Emily has quickly interpreted my business concept and produced designs that embody my brand. I am confident that her passion and professional advice and skills will be invaluable in marketing my business and increasing sales.
Sadie Hopson, Euthenia Touch
Emily brings both brains and design flair to her projects. I find she is able to interpret my requirements well, bringing an objective perspective to help bring about better ideas and details, and work out how these can best be applied.

After I've explained exactly what it is that I want via phone or email, Emily gets it straight away, that is, she can almost read my mind! She asks the right questions, is always very helpful and very patient with the graphically challenged. She uses her design skills and knowledge to bring to life exactly what I ask for, in an up to date and contemporary way. In short she's got it and she's with it!
Phill Hopkins, Arts & Crafts Centre Manager, Henshaws
What I need is someone to somehow interpret all the completely random ideas I had for our web site into something coherent, effective that actually works and then make it compatible with our technical needs. While doing this also take into account all the other marketing aspects connected with our brand and tie the whole thing together. This is exactly what Emily did so now if I need work on any aspect of the Yewtek brand I just ask Emily. Simple.
Phillip Roffe, Yewtek Ltd.
Emily has a great eye and from the moment of requesting a quote to the moment of delivery, she has been nothing but professional. Her work is top quality, I am thrilled to recommend her.
Sarah Arrow, Communications Director, Arrow Light Haulage
I have known Emily for several years since her days at JDA. She has always been able to offer useful and helpful advise. I first engaged Emily when I needed a corporate brochure. She came up with a very professional, quality product which I am still using to this day. She has also redesigned our business cards, letterheads and compliment slips,which she has managed to design and print at a very reasonable price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily's work to anyone.
Tim Homer, Managing Director, Apex Engineering Solutions
Emily immediately understood what we were trying to achieve with an original fabric design for our sofas despite us finding it difficult to express our ideas. She worked collaboratively with us giving helpful advice and ideas. She also handled the liaison with the printer and the upholsterer and the end result was that we got our 3 'wow' sofas in time for Christmas. We would heartily recommend her patient, imaginative and very efficient service.
Jennifer and Stephen Becker, Leeds
Emily produced book cover and CD-inlay designs for me while I was working as a freelance commissioning editor for Mary Glasgow Magazines. She was always quick, very accurate and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend her work.
