Rachael Ryan
fine artist
Can you explain what you were experiencing in regards to your website before hiring me?
Oh boy. It's systematically challenging to switch from the creative to the analytical side of our brain. Creating art and marketing art inherently are bandwidth competitors. My challenge has always been to quiet my inductive brain - full of color and movement - enough so that I can truly deduce not only WHOM I'm speaking to, but WHAT I'm trying to say to them.
What were you most impressed by when our work began?
I was impressed with your speed and how quickly you assembled a unique and pin-pointedly individual voice for my brand. Going through the Journaling process gave me more clarity than I ever could have dreamed. (And I've done too many ICA worksheets to count). This was different. You really got to the heart of me, but more importantly, my people.
How would you describe working with me?
Umm...like heaven. Like floating over New Zealand on a pillowy cloud, being fanned and fed grapes by George Clooney doppelgängers. -- I'm not kidding.
I've worked with several other designers and brand experts in my past 40+ years. None - not even combined - hold a candle to the expertise, proficiency, heart, intuition and TLC that you brought to this project.
Your care for understanding me first, then my art, then my audience and expertly folding them all together to make something more beautiful and functional than I ever could have dreamed. Well... that is a gift that not many hold.
How do you feel now about your decision to hire me?
It's fair to say, that its one of the best decisions that I've made in my entire adult life. You spun gold for me.
How are you feeling now that the project is over about moving forward?
Now I have a living breathing platform from which I can wonderfully expand.
With this foundation set, I can get back to the business of making art!
What would you tell someone who is considering hiring Me?
Just-Do-It. If you're ready to get serious about your business as an artist - and are ready to go to the next level - there is no one else I'd recommend. You will be seen, you will be heard and you will be held. I consider her not only magical, but after this magnificent journey, a dear friend.
