I highly recommend Alyssa for graphic design. She’s the total package: an artist and a professional. Her designs are creative and vibrant, yet clean and sophisticated. It’s very easy to work with Alyssa because she’s communicative and responsive. Her work is high quality and her turnaround is fast. Alyssa designed a pitch deck for me. She brought her own expertise to the project while also taking direction well. The results are excellent and I look forward to working with her on future projects.

As a project manager working to support media sales at Reader’s Digest, I couldn’t ask for a better graphic designer. In addition to having an amazing eye, Alyssa is able to work with very little supervision and adhere to the tightest deadlines. We worked on producing numerous custom content executions as well as creating advertising materials for major national clients. Alyssa has a solid understanding of the client’s vision, delivering projects that are 100% on brief. She is open to feedback and in cases of challenging clients, Alyssa’s patience is unprecedented. She will revise and tweak a project until the client is completely satisfied with the final result. Same applies to internal projects. Also, my experience working with Alyssa on a personal endeavour was just as amazing as working with her day to day. She took my suggestions and brought them to life. I’m really happy with my logo and I highly recommend Alyssa for personal and corporate projects. Whether you are working in an office with Alyssa and contracting a project remotely, she has always been an absolute pleasure, very talented person with lovely demeanour. I hope to work with Alyssa again and I highly recommend her services.

Alyssa is a terrific designer to work with! As entrepreneurs trying to launch our first start-up, we came to her with an idea of how we wanted our brand to look and feel, and she made it come to life in a beautiful logo design. She was creative, thoughtful and thorough, and a true partner in every sense of the word. She graciously accepted our feedback and turned around revisions that always improved on the previous versions. She was timely with her work, and very responsive. A true pleasure to work with!

Alyssa Dow turned out to be my ace in the hole. I hired Alyssa as a freelance designer on Best Health magazine and because we hadn’t worked together before, I started with having her design a few standard columns for me. It was immediately apparent that she had the skill and speed to handle much more, so I passed along everything from complex news pages to feature designs. I was particularly impressed with Alyssa’s ability to problem solve with little or no guidance, all while juggling a variety of other projects. She just delivered creative solutions that hit the mark time after time. On a couple of occasions, I needed some minor retouching done on our cover images and was pleasantly surprised when Alyssa offered to handle that for me too. She is a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate in recommending her.

Alyssa and I worked together over several years, and as each year passed her design work kept getting more exceptional. Alyssa has a unique and creative eye for creating customized designs for each and every client. Alyssa brings ideas to life beautifully whether she has minimal details or a full brief. And she continuously came to the table with new ideas and ways to enhance existing brand creative. Alyssa is very easy to work with, is a great collaborator, dedicated and hard working. It was a pleasure working with her!
