We couldn't be happier with the work Amanda has done in helping give us a memorable and recognizable look for our physiotherapy clinic. As physiotherapists without any experience in the graphic design world, Amanda first took us through the process of developing our logo. We wanted to reflect the idea of motion and momentum, and she was incredibly creative in her ideas to capture those elements. Her attention to detail and suggestions as we refined the nuances of colour and font in order to create something eye-catching were invaluable. Because she was so creative, responsive, and seemed to be as excited about each project as we were, we have continued to work with Amanda on other projects. She designed our referral pads, business cards, letterhead, promotional brochures and our website. We know when we come across uncommon talent, and Amanda has it. We unconditionally recommend her to everyone who asks.

Amanda Devries is a sheer joy to work with. She has a passion for her trade and an incredible eye for detail. She is attentive to the needs of her clients; and as such the products she creates respond directly to her customers. She is extremely collaborative: taking the time to get feedback and incorporating it into each iteration of the final deliverable. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to anyone seeking to add some flare to their web, paper, marketting portfolio and raise their business to the next level. I certainly look forward to working with her again.

I chose to have Amanda design my logo and business cards because I was very impressed by her portfolio. I loved her graphic style and I thought it would really suit my needs. Well, Amanda did not disappoint. She was able to transform my ideas into a strong visual business identity that truly fit me and my business. Throughout the creation process, Amanda was a great resource and I am thrilled at the final product. Her professionalism, creativity and patience were greatly appreciated and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

It took me awhile to find Amanda, who was exactly what I needed! As a total blogging and web design rookie, I wanted to find someone who was sufficiently savvy to help me customize and personalize a Word Press theme, but who was also creative and original. I had a strong vision for what I was trying to achieve with the blog, but really had no concept how to translate it into the platform. Amanda was able to understand my objectives, interpret my ideas and execute them time and again. Given my lack of knowledge, and the nature of the project, our process was truly collaborative. I was grateful for her constant supply of suggestions, and genuinely appreciative of her patience, flexibility and tactful honesty. It is my hope that our collaboration continues into the future.

It was a bit of serendipity that I stumbled upon Amanda's website. I was looking for a designer to help me create website that would give my shop a web presence that was fresh, simple and reflected well the personality of my store.
Amanda was quick to give me a website that I love love love! She is fast, friendly and VERY accommodating, especially during the nit picky final stages. I have already recommended her to several others and will continue to do so. Thanks Amanda!

Amanda was a good choice to build the Pick Custom Driving website. She produced just the kind of small, attractive, easy to navigate website I wanted. Her artistic sense, spare approach to design, technical competence and courage to tell me when I was wrong, led to this happy result. And, she did it ahead of schedule.

In the hopes of extending my client base, I approached Amanda about creating a website. Right from the outset, Amanda demonstrated a high degree of professionalism. In particular, Amanda was highly committed to understanding my needs and the nature of my business. Her understanding ultimately facilitated the development of a website that fully captured the ethos my business. Even more impressive was the expedient manner in which Amanda built the site. When I sent material to Amanda, she integrated it into the site quickly. In fact, Amanda met every deadline we established. Finally, Amanda demonstrated a great deal of creativity. When presenting ideas, Amanda would offer a variety of choices that were are all equally excellent. There seemed to be no end to her ideas about how to best build the site. Ultimately, I am extremely happy with the site and it did extend my client base. Thank you Amanda.

I approached Amanda to help me create a web presence for my research program at McMaster University and the Public Health Agency of Canada. In my field, knowledge dissemination and information is critical and I wanted to create a site that was information-rich, easy to navigate, expandable and easy to update on a regular basis. Amanda listened to my vision for the site, made excellent suggestions and went on to build two prototype sites for us that were notable for their professional look, contemporary design and ease of navigation. Amanda has a keen sense for design and colour and incorporated these elements to create a site that flows. I have received numerous compliments on the site from professional colleagues and students, who use the site for front-line information about our research and lab developments. Thanks Amanda for bringing our science to the world.
