"Jennifer skillfully applied our established style guide and design system to graphics, but included her own creative twist in a refreshing way. It was great to have a new designer on the team to see how we could change up some outdated designs and modernize them. Jennifer was also very open and receptive to feedback, and made sure to ask specific questions to improve her knowledge of design software and our ways of working with the client."
