Some nice words
“Paula is a brilliant designer. She requires very little direction to get the heart of a company’s message down in visuals and her style is current without veering too far out of the box. Even her rough work is presented professionally and she represents the company and herself in a very polished manner in person. I love working with her and am going to keep requesting her on projects!”
- Shawna Seth, Associate Project Manager, SolutionSet LLC
“Her title might be “designer,” but Paula Chang has got a little bit of project management in her as well. She’s extremely organized: summarizes client design feedback well, presents concise lists of questions/clarifications she needs in order to start a project, keeps a to-do list for herself. To say nothing of her actual design work, which impresses again and again.”
- Emily Ostendorf, Project Manager, SolutionSetLLC
