Erica Siemers | Colorado School of Mines Foundation |
Senior Director, Donor Relations & Campaign
"Our audience is made up of scientists and engineers who are proudly associated with Colorado School of Mines. Stu and Nicky have built a graphic identity for us that differentiates and elevates our unique brand to communicate in a way that speaks to the hearts and minds of our alumni, friend and contributors. And they continue to create marketing and design solutions with close attention to our smart and specialized constituencies. "

Larry Satkowiak | The Cable Center | President & CEO
"We have built a strong business relationship with Stuart and Nicky over the last couple of years. They listened, worked within our budget, developed creative solutions, and delivered what they promised. They are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to the next project."

Dawn Engle | PeaceJam Foundation | President
"It's unusual to work with designers that put so much of themselves into the work. Stuart and Nicky are more than designers - they understand what we do, suggest solutions based in strategic thinking, and dive right in whenever we ask. They've become real life PeaceJammers."
