Kind words from past clients

"Eleanor is an expert artist and thinks like an artist, while acting with the abilities of a craftsperson and experience of a web designer and product salesperson. Storytelling is at the heart of their craft. It shines through and makes collaborations rich, communication easy, and the outcome effective, sincere, and thorough."

"You're totally on point in every direction! Which is a complete rarity in the website design world IMO. A lot of folks are nice with the design side, but not thinking about the technical side, or vice-versa. I really appreciate that your process includes a full, whole, responsible job."

Eden Connelly Tallarico

Founder, New Money Social Club

"Eleanor is a great listener and always comes forth with ideas that expand on my vision for my site. They work quickly and thoughtfully in ways that show me they are tapped into my ultimate goal. I can trust they've got me covered!I would trust them with any site I needed to have built, especially knowing the level of expertise and creativity that Eleanor brings to the table."

Julissa Contreras

Social Impact Consultant & Creative

"From the first meeting when I told you about my project and why I needed to create a platform reflecting all the past present and future work; to you presenting the spine of the site; to the meetings in between; the beautiful logo; the colour scheme; to the how-to videos - it feels a great and ongoing partnership, where my opinion is listened to; my needs are met to the maximum detail; your expertise and and advice are extremely valuable and second to none."
