Testimonials

Candice is a font of creativity and fresh ideas. Working with her on my company's complete graphic identity was a fantastic experience. First and foremost, she listened to me. We did some very collaborative brainstorming and then she came back with spot-on, contemporary approaches to address not only the primary objectives I had in mind, but several I hadn't even considered. Her enthusiasm is palpable and it shows in her work. Candice's designs pop off the page (or screen), and her technical know-how is quite impressive. It's clear that her years of experience have helped her arrive with a concise graphic-design sensibility all her own. I look forward to working with her again and again.

Candice Stern is a brilliant designer. We were fortunate she agreed to design the brand identity, Web site and collateral for BarnRaisers Group, our new marketing firm that builds brand communities. Her designs make an instant impact. Our logo communicates "people with shared passions connecting" along with "barn raising" in one iconic design. Our Web site and blog designs are getting us attention, followers and contact requests. Clients tell us repeatedly how much they love the concept of our business card. The flap (representing a red barn door opening) not only reinforces our name, it makes an unforgettable first impression that never fails to bring a smile to people's faces.

If great design is powerful, Candice Stern is a powerhouse.

It's rare to find a designer who is so accommodating of a client's needs while having the vision to take an idea run with it. Candice has been a pleasure to work with, helping us develop high-quality, professional marketing materials on a tight budget. I'd recommend her to anyone who comes my way.

Think graphic design can't be art? You owe it to yourself (and your clients) to work with Candice Stern Graphic Design. From brand identities to annual reports to web sites to advertising, her work is always exciting, conceptual and loved by clients. Equally important — she is a pleasure to work with. Candice Stern Graphic Design is my first choice for my most important projects.

We hired Candice to produce several of our communications and I wish we had found her sooner. In addition to producing great creative, she also handles the account work with great skill… she was always available to take my calls, she answered all of my emails promptly and she helped us stay within budget without sacrificing quality. She is a problem solver and she pays great attention to detail. I've worked with ad agencies and have had the usual problems with all of them. Going forward, Candice will be our first choice for all of our future projects.

Candice is probably the most creative person I know. I am always astounded at how spot-on her designs are for the projects she has done both for me and others. What I mean is, she has an amazing ability to listen to what her client really wants, independently thinks about what she believes the project needs, and then designs something that combines the two in a way that speaks volumes. Most recently, Candice designed a blog/website for me and I seriously can't stop looking at it. I just love it and I have already gotten many compliments on how well it turned out. The site is an extension of my professional self (the URL is my name - http://www.mirimcdonald.com) so it was important that the brand reflect me in an authentic and fun way. She also designed a business card that really brings the brand to life on paper. Lastly, Candice is extremely patient. I always have all sorts of ideas that I throw at her randomly and she never tells me to stop! She is always professional and somehow keeps all of my ideas in play until we have something that satisfies both of us. I highly recommend Candice for your design needs. Just be ready to live up to the expectations she sets for your brand with her amazing designs.
