Shelly is a talented graphic designer that has had several iterations of her businesses. From brick-and-mortar retail shops to online studios, her talent is endless. I have had the pleasure of working with her on several projects, & her imagination & love of her craft is extraordinary. I would use her graphic talents for any branding project I have in the works. Her commitment & customer service philosophies are a level not often found in the industry. I will happily use her talents any time I can do so.
