“Magnificent creative strategist & businesswoman”

“I’ve worked with Jenn David Design for 5 years and we’ve launched many brands and products together. I am yet to find a design firm capable of delivering similar quality work with a fair price tag and comparable turnaround times. Regardless of project scope or timeframe, JDD delivers time and time again, and I’m not easy to please. On any given day we juggle 10 projects! JDD is well-equipped to take a concept from blue sky through pre- and post-production, liaising with vendors and multiple departments in our organization with meticulous attention to every single project detail. This is something larger agencies can’t touch. Jenn’s infrastructure is not heavily layered and she is a magnificent creative strategist & businesswoman. JDD’s customer service is of such nature that I still feel as if I am her only and most valued customer.”
