Project: Brochure/Pocket Presskit Folder

“I worked with Susan when launching a start-up business. Susan designed my marketing material and she did an amazing job. In addition to being an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very professional and her work was impeccable. I was blown away with how well the project came out and have received several compliments on the material she worked on. She works fast, is a good communicator and I will definitely use her again. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to hire a professional graphic designer.”

Project: Branding, website design and development and social media graphics and pages

“When the staff member who designed our previous website left the organization, we decided that it was time to have the site redesigned using a platform that was user friendly and easy to update so any staff member could do it and the organization wouldn’t be dependent on any one person to handle all of the website administration. Educational Arts Team found Susan Newman through a web search and after meeting with other designers, accepted her quote to redesign our site. Working with Susan has been a pleasure. She has worked closely with the Team throughout the process to develop a site that is easy to navigate and update. She was willing to work with us on the kind of look we were hoping for and made many edits and changes along the way, assuring that all of our ideas for the site were included. She even prepared a short video tutorial for us on how to update and manage the content of our site, which was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. Once the site was finished, we returned to Susan Newman Design for rebranding of our Social Media and an SEO project for another website hosted by Educational Arts Team.”
—Carmine Tabone, Executive Director & Katie Prins of Educational Arts Team of Jersey City

Thank you, Susan. I believed in your cause from the start and who couldn’t?  Our climate is in turmoil and during these turbulent times, I hope the outcome will be climate action. The Frogs are Green program is a reminder and an opportunity to learn how the ecosystem works. And how artists can impact society by being visual heralds to educate everyone that the health of our planet is our route to survival.  I so appreciate your enthusiasm, dedication, and intuitiveness to see the path to healing through nature. Thank you for including the students of Jersey City Public Schools in the process. I wish you happiness and health in the days ahead and always.

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!”

“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.”
