Testimonials
Rachel & Grant - Restaurant Como - Blaxland
"We received a phone call from new visitors to the area a few days after the website was made live by Gina. We were told by these vistiors that when they saw the Restaurant Como website, their decision was made! They phoned for a booking and dined at Restaurant Como that very same evening."

Dianne Davis - Director - Davis & Associates – Strategic Marketing
"Gina brings four essential qualities to her work:
Firstly, she is highly creative (and that is the key quality you really look for in a designer), always offering you a lot of good options to choose from.
Secondly, she has a very strong client service ethos - she is punctual, easily accessible/contactable, keeps you informed at all stages of the process and has a high level of care in regard to managing a job/project through to completion.
Thirdly, she has great attention to detail - so important when you are working on detailed documentation and/or design.
Fourthly, she has a strong working knowledge of all elements of the design process, from concept through to final design, to managing print and production processes.
I highly recommend Gina... as someone who has been in the marketing industry for many years, I've worked with numerous designers... and Gina is among the best I've worked with."

Victoria Bonello - Buteyko Practitioner/Principal - Breathing Naturally
"Gina has intermittently completed design work for my business since November 2005. She is generous and hard working; and I found her to be completely honest in her presentation and manner.
Gina designed the branding for my business; logo, business cards and letterheads. She also organized the printing and delivery of same. She prepared work for my newsletter and media boards also. Her designs have been highly creative and totally reflect my health practice/business ideals, so much so, that when handing out my business cards many recipients admire and comment on them.
Her designs were prepared quickly yet with attention to detail. Her attention to detail is excellent, and her designs and suggestions, with detailed questions, were intuitive. She attended my office to show/discuss colours, designs at odd hours (owing to my working various hours) and attended to any re-designs with patience in regard to my requests – even to the point of changing my choice of business name – and alacrity in completion of the work.
Her general attitude is confident and sensible, as well as patient and creative. I am a sole trader and have found her a delight to deal with.
I have been thoroughly pleased with Gina’s work for me. All work was prepared promptly and her designs exceeded my expectations. I am not technically trained in design or computer production and relied completely on her skills. I have been so pleased with her work, I have referred friends, family and colleagues. My business is new and I would hope to continue to engage her services as my business grows."

Helen Reece - Marketing Manager - Vitasoy Australia Products Pty. Ltd.
"Gina has recently managed the delivery of three new product launches for the Vitasoy brand, and is currently assisting us with a major initiative, the redesign of the packaging across all Vitasoy ranges.
Gina has an excellent working knowledge of the technical capabilities of the Tetra Pak plant, and from the beginning of this project has worked with our agency to ensure that the new designs maximise Tetra Pak’s capabilities, and avoid including design elements that can’t be reproduced to a desired standard.
Gina has a superb eye for design, colour and detail, a strong commercial sense, and an excellent understanding of what we are trying to achieve with our brand and packaging designs. I am personally so confident in her ability to deliver an excellent product, that I no longer attend press checks, and trust her to give final approval for production runs.
Gina’s input to our packaging initiatives has been invaluable, and I am delighted with the results that she has delivered in conjunction with our design agency.
On a personal level, I have also very much enjoyed working with Gina. She is very talented and capable, and I have no hesitation in recommending her."
