Testimonials

Chrissie worked with us for over a year on an important and complex project that had a great deal of personal meaning for us: The Cards: Being Human. I think that what Chrissie brought to the work was an excellent combination and balance of content and process. What I mean in terms of content is that Chrissie is an accomplished and brilliant artist but without the right process, without engaging with us as clients and really listening, being open, being able to be dynamic in her thinking, the outcome would not have been what we wanted. The outcome is wonderful. And if the final ingredients to be the best of the best are commitment, attention to detail and hard work, Chrissie is the person you should be working with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Working with Chrissie was both, a truly professional experience and a delight. She was a good sparring partner in shaping the brief and ironing out any ambiguities, which was so important as we were a team of 6 who all had agency in evaluating the work. Chrissie listens carefully and simply gets you. And if she does not get you, she lets you know so that you can work together to create clarity and alignment. Chrissie is truly a visual storyteller; her designs are beautiful, fully of life and delivered with the outmost craftsmanship. She also delivers on time and in scope, which is pretty crucial when you want to launch a website on time. Thank you Chrissie for bringing to life what Dot Project was for years - a space where technology and people met.

Lettering for certificates

We have had the pleasure to work with Chrissie recently and are delighted with the experience and the outcome! We required the names of over 200 of our organisation’s most valued supporters, contributors and volunteers to be written onto individual certificates. Chrissie was quick to review the project and revert to clear up any queries, keeping us well informed throughout the process. Her professionalism, reliability and superb attention to detail was very much valued. We are thoroughly pleased with the beautiful and crisp lettering on the certificates and look forward to working with Chrissie again!

Chrissie has worked with us on several projects, most notably on a film promotion event for Warner Brothers when the signs and lettering that she produced were absolutely perfect for the job – our client was delighted and so were we. 

Chrissie really takes time to understand what is wanted for a project and she approaches everything she does with intelligence and great attention to detail.

 She is also brilliant at meeting deadlines – something which is very important in the event industry – so we never have to worry – we always know that we can rely on her to deliver exactly what is wanted.
