She asked all the right questions, listened carefully to what I was looking to achieve and exceeded my expectations with her first round of creative.

“I loved working with Jill on the website for my freelance writing business.
“From the first meeting, we were in sync creatively on every aspect of the project. Everyone who’s seen the site comments that it’s very professional, yet it also captures my personality. Jill was great to work with—collaborative, consultative, capable. I’m thrilled with the site—it was a great use of my marketing dollars.”

“From the start, I warned Jill about my nit-pickiness, but she handled my perfectionistic tendencies with patience and good humor.
“Typically, when I design a website and hand it off to a developer for coding, I’m prepared to view a semi-rough version of what I’ve created and subsequently type up a long punch list of changes. That never happened with Jill: she understood my vision and nailed it on the first try.”

“I adore you, Jill Anderson!
“You are a genius—cool, patient and phenomenally talented. Everybody raves about you, and I’ve gotten to witness your smarts through our work together—but seeing your process first-hand was an honor. It’s not just about the amazing results (it’s pretty damn amazing!)—but all the care, big ideas, concepts and thoughtful details you added to make this extra-special.”

“Jill is by far the best designer I have ever worked with in my life.
“Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s incredible to work with on every project. There’s no one else out there like her… and she will always have a special place in my heart for all that she has done for me, Solamar and the team. We love her… and we hope to work with her forever.”

“Hiring Jill to help me with my website was such a smart decision!
“I have worked with many programmers over the years and none of them have the eye for design or the attention to detail Jill possesses. She is the complete package—she understands the front end and back end of the web. Best of all, she was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.”

“I hired Jill to redesign my website, and she did an excellent job of translating our conversation to exactly what I had envisioned (or better).
“She’s very personable, has great design skills, and knows her way around code, too. It’s rare to find all three of those traits in one person, and it makes her absolutely delightful to work with.”
