Project: Brand identity design, social media, website, book cover, print marketing for Julie Steelman
“Susan has helped me take my business and expertise to the next level. She created my ideal website by easily translating my vision into something real and tangible. What I didn’t know at the time I hired her, was how much she knew about SEO and that alone has increased the amount of opt-ins I get. Customers can now find me! Susan also designed my book cover and it has gotten tons of compliments. Susan has many strengths but the thing that stands out the most to me is how extraordinary she is at customer service. She responds and will work tirelessly until things are right. Run, don’t walk, to hire Susan!”
— Julie Steelman, Selling Mentor & Bankability Guru, JulieSteelman.com, author of The Effortless Yes!

Project: Web graphics – Good Cents Bookkeeping
“Susan was the missing link I needed for a custom designed facebook fan page. I received quotes from other vendors to build a FB page which were comparable to the cost of building a small web site! Susan helped me build a fantastic welcome page, create a nice sidebar, and assisted with sharing her tips and tidbits for marketing on FB. She also designed the Savor banner that appears on my profile here on STS. Her service is prompt, professional and competitively priced. I would recommend her in an instant. Thanks Susan!”

“If you look up the word “professionalism” in the dictionary the definition will be Susan Newman. She is a wonderful designer who keeps current with all of the latest information and tools available, which in turn enables her to present her clients with the best solutions for their particular project. Our collaboration as art director (Susan) and designer (myself) turned our project into an award winning book jacket. Whenever I find myself in a technical and creative jam, I know that a phone call to Susan will get me through. Her cheerful and expert advice is always a breath of fresh creative air. If you are thinking of working with her, the best advice I can give is “do not hesitate”. You will absolutely get the results you are searching for.”

Susan designed my website for Just the Right Words. Her creativity is “off the charts.” Her first draft after a consultation is better than one is expecting, and then her refinements take the concept to glorious fruition. Her expertise makes a project seem “too easy” for such a flawless result.
