The
day I found Susan Johnson was a red letter day for my business. Of course
I didn't know it at the time. With not a whole heck of a lot of input from
me, Susan proceeded to design a logo for my writing coach business that
never fails to draw positive attention and remarks - so much so that I
am holding a contest based upon it. That's not just a good logo. That's
a great logo.
When I oh so casually handed my e-book to Susan to design, little did I
know what a pain-in-the-neck project I was handing her. At a certain point,
I thought it was "good enough," but Susan gently contradicted
me and kept working until the e-book was the highest quality she could
make it. My marketing person is delighted with it, as am I.
Right now I am working with a website developer to get my blog site up
and running. Now that she has designed the home page and entire "look" of
my site, Susan's contribution to the project is complete. However, she
is still my go-to person when I want to hear the truth of what is and isn't
working, what is and isn't possible.
If you want that rare combination of talented designer plus problem solver
plus truth teller wrapped up in a package of good-humored professionalism
and superior customer service, then hire Susan. She delivers.

Working
with Susan was exciting! She was able to help me capture in design and
images both the feeling and concept of my new business.
Susan not only walked along side of me as I developed my website, but assisted
me in creating business cards and promotional materials that truly were
unique, integrated and very attractive. Folks look at my site and materials
and say, "Wow, I love that!"....thank you Susan, you're the best.

As
a new business owner, it is imperative that your vision and mission for
the business are brought to life in all of your marketing materials. Susan
made this tremendous task seem almost effortless, by taking the time to
truly understand my business and my target market. She is dedicated to
serving her customers, like myself, so that the end product will reflect
what it is they do. Susan has a keen sense of design coupled with good
knowledge of what works so that I didn't commit what would be mortal mistakes.
She sets expectations and delivers great work at a very fair price. One
of the other great benefits of working with Susan is that Partner4Success
is one stop shopping - logo, brochure, and website design. Additionally,
she has a large network of contacts for other services that you can completely
trust. I love my website and logo and owe Susan for helping my business
get off to such a good start."

When
a family member recommended Susan to me, I did not know what to expect.
I am a self-admitted control freak, and took a big chance by sitting back
and letting someone else take the reigns. I do not regret it one bit! Susan
was an ABSOLUTE joy to work with and is truly a breath of fresh air! After
a short conversation, she had layouts for my web site sent to me in a short
amount of time, and they were amazing. The best part is that they were
exactly what I wanted but could never have created by myself. And my favorite
was even the very first one she created! Susan has a true talent and it
is so apparent in the work that she does. Not only was the product phenomenal,
but working with Susan was a pleasure. I feel that not only have I made
a great contact for design work, but I have also made a friend. I will
absolutely work with Susan in the future and will recommend her to anyone!"

What
can I say? It has been a pleasure to work with Susan. Susan created my
logo design, business package and brochure with creativity and a great
deal of patience and encouragement. We would laugh at times that most would
cry...this became a partnership to achieve the perfect outcome. She took
the time to listen to my vision and understand my mission for Pathways
to Vibrant Health.
Beginning with the logo design, Susan gave
me several unique approaches and, after many revisions, developed a design
that truly reflects my philosophy of wellness. As for the brochure; what
begin as pages of text became a very interesting graphic design depicting
the Pathways to Vibrant Health that I offer - a brochure that inspires,
interests and intrigues the reader to search for more information. She
worked with me while I developed my copy, over and over again, to get the
right words. It was never a problem and settling was not an option - we
worked until it felt exactly right.
I am very pleased with the process
and the outcome. Susan is very intuitive and I highly recommend her services.
I would consider her expertise to be the pathway to creating great communications
materials for your business."

Working
with Susan is a like a dream come true. She asks all the right questions
to elicit what you really want, and then lo and behold amazing graphics
come from her. The hardest part of working with Susan is deciding which
one you like! She is creative, intuitive, responsive and has an amazing
sense of humor...all key ingredients to a successful working relationship."

With
the level of transactions that occur via cyberspace, it is essential for
all of my materials to be viewed as an extension of who I am. I believe
Susan is equally compelled to graphically reflect one's thinking and intentions
for each unique organization she works with. Once our "Business Start-Up
Package" was completed, Susan designed a postcard to market the new
look for my business, Guide to Greatness, LLC. I have had an overwhelming
response from the 5,000 postcards that were sent and 100% positive feedback
for our new logo, web site, business cards, and corresponding materials.
She has been a delight to work with, and I highly recommend her for your
design needs."

Susan,
it is such a joy to work with you. In you, I've found a true partner. The
six CD album covers are such gems, so much more beautiful than I could
have imagined on my own. You carefully nurtured them with your insights,
creativity, and expertise. I am deeply grateful to you and look forward
to our next projects."

Thank
you. You are amazing. I love the new website and can't thank you enough
for all your help in creating it and getting it up and running. Not only
are you talented but it was fun to work with you."

When
I asked Susan to design a logo for my business, I wasn't even sure it was
possible for anyone to come up with something I would really love. The process
of working with Susan was amazing - the only frustrating part was having
so many great designs to choose from! She took my ideas and quickly turned
them into possibilities, was more than patient with my requests for "tweaking",
and when the final design appeared, it was nothing short of magic. I knew
instantly it was 'the one'."

Wicked
cool! Love that I don't ever have to describe what I want...that's HER expertise!
And that she can 'read' me as a client and always astound me with what she
comes up with. Her creativity is through the roof! Jeanna and I are always
commenting..."DAMN, she's good!!!' "

Susan
Johnson is a creative genius. She is a great listener and really develops a
great "feel" for what her clients want. Susan then becomes
a master of "wow" when she responds quickly and creatively. I have
several businesses, and when I need design work done I contact Susan and it's
done. She is quick, efficient, and extremely creative."
Kevin Coyne
When
I first found Susan I was drawn to her by the soul she expresses in her art.
Every time I click in to her website I smile. As I work with her I am drawn
to a true friend who can "see" inside my heart and bring
out the art in me.
Susan has been a catalyst for enormous change in my life. She was able to
quickly take my initial feeble stumbling through identity branding and guide
me through to a complete, unique package including logo, web site, stationery
and business card. In fact, about an hour after we spoke for the first time
she sent several samples for me to view. Shortly after that we had the whole
picture together.
She has a great sense of color and balance and her enthusiasm is catching.
She is easy to work with, treats me with candor and kindness, and I feel blessed
to know her."

Susan
is simply a masterful design wizard! She quickly transforms hazy, ill-defined
ideas into sharp, eye-catching concepts that are both spirit-full and practical.
Her designs are crisp; her color sense is elegant. And, best of all, she is
so much fun to work with! Susan is truly amazing ... no lie!"
Carol Gerrish
I was
aiming for an alternative and memorable logo that would represent my business.
I enlisted the help of another graphic designer, who knew a little about me
prior to our working together. After two months of many phone conversations
and email, I had a logo that didn't wow me, but that I was going to settle
for anyway just to finish the process. After some thought, I decided if your
logo doesn't WOW anyone, how can your business?
I put a query out to my contacts for another designer... and was guided to
Susan. Talk about a night and day experience!! After talking with Susan for
30 minutes, she designed the perfect, memorable, WOW-ing logo I was looking
for - and the whole process from start to finish only took 3 days!!!
Everyone I've shown my logo to loves it and thinks it definitely encapsulates
the essence of my business. With Susan, I definitely have a designer for life!
Thanks a million!!"

Every
time I ask Susan for a new design, whether it's an ad or website, she gives
me a piece of art that I get complimented on by all who see it! I tell her
what I want people to feel when they look at, then in the blink of any eye...walaaa!
She comes with 2-6 designs I LOVE. The hardest part of working with her is
trying to choose only one of her designs! She simply is a creative genius and
she taps right into my vision. Thank you for everything."

Working
with Susan is easy, effortless, and it's almost as if she has mental telepathy
with me! Susan is able to tap into the core essence of what my intention is
for the graphics I request - it's like she's reaching into my mind's eye, obtaining
my vision ideas, and then making them real. Incredible talent! And always quicker
than I asked for."
