Testimonials

i love my clients.

here's a little glimpse of what it looks like to work with thrive.

YOU ARE AMAZING! I love, love, love what you have come up with. You have helped me bring my vision to life!

JOY CAMPOS, Better Than Mama's

I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the logo. Every time I look at it I get more attached it feels so right. You really captured the essence/spirit and that is so important to me as it provides inspiration. I am really, really happy with where it ended up. Also, people that have seen it always have a "wow" first impression and really like it. You rock like Gibralter.

DAVID BUNKER, Hawk Merlin Studios

You have done a supurb job not only in your skill but also in being a great example as to how you run your business.....it has been great inspiration to me as a new business owner :) I look forward to more endeavors together in the future!

STEPHANIE MAGNO, Magno Physical Therapy

Honestly, I thought after all my changes that you'd want to kick me to the curb! I have loved working with you and it's been an amazing first experience of getting my feet wet working with a professional! I hope we can do lots more together!

JANA LOMBARDI, 360 Yardware

Greta did an awesome job with our graphic design needs. Beautiful work, prompt responses and turn around times, and always clear and responsive communication. She was generous with her time and ideas, and has been a great pleasure to work with.

LESLIE STAGER, MotherTouch Films

I must finally say thank you, and that I'm overwhelmed at the quality of your work and the generosity of your heart. ...Never in my 33 years in Port Townsend have I seen any other organization produce something so beautiful. Really, it's just stunning. As long as I am running the Rose, you are now my Designer of Choice. Period. Full stop.

ROBERT FRIEDMAN, Rose Theatre

The people at the printing place LOVED our logo so much that they are going to print a shirt with it on it to hang in their window display. We keep getting so many compliments and praise about our logo!

MARIETA EASLEY, Slice of Heaven Farm

OH MY GOD, I can't even believe how amazing this is!

BRIDGIT DANNER, Women's Wellness Collaborative

Greta, I want you on my team for every event. I so appreciate you taking charge and going for it. This looks great. I received a email from my client and he LOVES the invitation!! HOME RUN, OUT of the Ballpark!!

KENDA FARNSWORTH, Pacific Northwest Events

I LOVE EVERYTHING!

GRETCHEN MAYFIELD, G Mayfield Skin Care

This logo represents EXACTLY what I am trying to do. You are remarkably talented. You obviously are a master in many artistic avenues, but you also masterfully handle a client's myriad of needs as well. Thank you for your patience and kindness.

LEIGH HAWES. Changing Scenes

Greta is a get it done and get it done right type of person. I am always very impressed with the quality of her work, her personality and her know how. She has the ability to take your ideas and make them so much better and has tons of great ideas of her own as well. Greta does amazing work and I will continue to use her for all of my graphic design needs.

JESSICA CARLIN, Brighter Days House Cleaning

Greta is brilliant. She designed a logo that so incredibly depicts the look and feel of my company name "In the Black". Simple and right on the mark! As a business owner --who doesn't want to be in the black? Great work!

KAREN BACHOFNER, In the Black

Thank you so much for working with me to create my new logo. I am very happy with the results and will feel much more professional when I hand out my business card.

DAVID MUSIAL, First Course Catering

We had Greta help us layout our new showroom and she is a joy to work with. She listens to what you want and comes up with great ideas at prices that will not kill your budget. I would recommend to anyone!

SCOTT BARNETT, The Kitchen Connection

We worked with Thrive to solve several complicated and complex communications challenges and are very pleased with the results. Greta interviewed us to understand the barriers we needed to overcome and the results we wanted to achieve. She then created budgets and work back schedules for the multiple projects we assigned her, and stuck to each one without exception. To successfully complete each project, Greta had to create an umbrella design that would work for us, and then translate that design to a number of different applications. She then had to identify vendors who could meet our quality and budget requirements, and oversee production to final delivery. Each project exceeded our expectations. I recommend Greta and Thrive without reservation. She is a keen problem solver who is a conscientious, client-oriented business woman.

SHARON PETERSON, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance

I love, love, love this! Greta, thank you so much! Your work is phenomenal and I couldn't be happier with what you did for Trio. You are awesome!

KELLY RECKTENWALD, Trio Pilates

Thank you sooo much! My new card is beautiful and I could not have asked for anything better. I absolutely love it and it reflects everything I wanted to convey. I so appreciate your service and attention and lovely email demeanor.

DENISE DODSON, Denise Dodson Hypnosis

Greta was a vital member of our team in opening our new location in Waterbury Center, Vermont. She understands the challenges of a retail space and is very creative in her approach to design and merchandising. We see the results of Thrive Designs in every customer who walks through our doors. Their eyes get wide with excitement and their smiles let us know they that they are thrilled to be in a kitchen store that is open and inviting.

JESSE KERNER, The Kitchen Store

You are such a delight! I LOVE working with you. Thank you for your generosity. This is so beautiful. You are a GEM!!

JENN PAAUWE-RIFFE, Coach & Thrive, Sacred Money Studios

I highly recommend Thrive Designs. Greta was great! She was really good at helping me figure out what I wanted to say and how to say it. She designed the logo for my business, as well as business cards, for an amazingly reasonable price, especially given how much attention to detail she used, and how closely she worked with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Her turnaround time was so fast, too! She was so patient and so helpful throughout the whole process. I will definitely be calling her for all my future design needs.

DR. BEKAH COHEN, Q Chiropractic

We are sooooo in love with our logo! Can't wait to see it on a card and letterhead. You are the absolute BEST! Thank you so much for such a wonderful job on everything!

Greta is a true artist. She has a gift for listening to her clients and helping create their ideas into visual realities. She has done work in branding, label design, and display for our company.
