I needed to set up a website from scratch and wanted a number of complicated features. It's a site for my art practice - I needed content, but more importantly, it needed to be just so. The aesthetics needed to be exactly right. Elisa delivered on every count AND she was a pleasure to work with, quickly grasped my quite specific requirements, and tolerated my digital illiteracy with seeming ease. I unqualifiedly commend Elisa for this kind of work. She's terrific. read more

We've collaborated on everything from email templates to micro-sites and brand design updates. Elisa is extremely professional, detail-oriented and a great communicator. She listens carefully to what a client needs and wants and, most importantly, is able to reconcile the two when "the want" doesn't necessarily meet "the need." A truly valuable skill! I would highly recommend Elisa for any design projects you have. She not only delivers excellent results, but also comes up with suggestions you may not have thought of to improve your project within your budget. I would hire her again without hesitation. read more

After spending years making an effort to work with some very highly recommended and gifted graphic designers but never finding "the one" to rebrand my company - I am thrilled to have finally found Elisa/Burning Ear Media! Elisa was able to take the very same information and collection of materials I had put together for various designers to review and come up with the perfect look & feel I was seeking for my small business. After an in-person interview process where she visited our location to get a better feel for the business, she developed our company's new logo which was just precisely what I had wanted & dreamed about. I am completely over the moon in love with the unique designs she had created for SFRAW - from the logo to the website icons to business cards and labels for our products - every single time she designs something for us, she completely NAILS what I'm going for and delivers not only the design of my dreams, but the entire process is done affordably, quickly and professionally. She also follows through with research for local third-party services involved with the printing and packaging, as needed. So far all of her referrals and recommendations have been totally solid and just brilliant. Obviously, I recommend Elisa without hesitation for all your designing needs! My only concern with referring her on Yelp, is that she may get too busy to keep helping us - we're a very small business, not a big time player with funding/etc., and out budget is ridiculously small. However, this has never hindered Elisa from working with us or providing us with an expert level of care and attention to detail. Here are some things I have to say about the various projects she has worked on for us thus far: " I LOVE our new business/membership referral cards beautifully designed by Burningear Media (Elisa Lewis) and locally printed by 4by6.com - this photo does not do them justice -- the colors are perfect and the quality superb. Thank you for a job well done and to Elisa, for *always* taking my concepts/ideas and wishes, and just totally nailing it when it comes to designing those ideas into something real & just perfect! I'm super excited about this new program that supports raw feeding and benefits & serves our members, too!!! " I'm so pleased and happy about this! I LOVE the new label design. Was worth the wait, all the struggles & rejecting so many other "not quite right" designs to find one I genuinely, truly love. Thank you, Elisa!" "Our NEW treat labels arrived! We're SOOOOO excited about this -- you can't even understand how long this has been in the making. After ...struggling for a very, VERY long time to find just the right design/designer (rejecting many different ideas and going through different designers that just weren't right for us), we finally found someone who we feel just NAILED IT! Spot ON! It's so pretty, fresh, modern - the natural eared Great Dane & kitty are the two animals I started feeding raw to in 1989 (kitty)/1991 (Dane), which Elisa just "got" after speaking with me and visiting our place...it's the perfect design for SFRAW treats & we couldn't be happier! Special thanks to Elisa Lewis of Burning Ear Media for being able to pull this off when it seemed no one was going to be able to come up with a design that was just quite right for us...and for holding our hands through the entire process, getting them printed locally (Best Label did a wonderful job!) and just being there every step of the way. Next up: new label designs for ALL our SFRAW raw foods...we have some great ideas for this already. So happy with this. Thank you, thank you, Elisa!" If you like what you see - I highly recommend that you contact her for your graphic design needs - Elisa is wonderful and I have nothing but glowing positive things to say about her and her work. I am 100% satisfied and happy with every project and product she has worked on and hope to have a long relationship with her for years to come as our business grows.

See all

I am a small business owner and when I was starting out I didn't have a big budget to spend on a website. Elisa was wonderful and made me a great site within my means. She was lovely to work with and open to us going back and forth trying out many different looks and changing details like fonts and colors, etc. We made a site with a blog built in that we are still working on. I appreciate the fact that she is still available if I go back with questions about updating and maintaining the site! Highly recommend! read more

Elisa was a delight to work with, professional, personable and affordable. I talked to a few local companies and decided to work with Elisa and she created a beautiful, customized website for me.

It was delightful to work with her and we highly recommend Elisa! Shawny Burns and Yony McCloskey Sorelle Group read more

I've been working with Elisa for almost three years on an ongoing basis, and she is incredible. She's talented, responsive, creative, and helpful. She developed the design as well as the WordPress theme for my digital media company's website (Kicker - gokicker.com) and has developed multiple site redesigns. Elisa also does dev work and tech support in addition to design. She takes the initiative and is innovative and also takes direction - she's adept at taking an idea and translating it into visual language and into a robust design. Elisa is an incredibly lovely person to boot. I can't speak highly enough about her. I thank my lucky stars that we connected and hope to keep working with her for a long, long time. read more

When it comes to hiring a web site designer who can create a web site that is unique, beautiful, and functional, Elisa Lewis of Burning Ear Media is the one to choose. She has an excellent eye for color and a design sense that is clear and fresh looking. Elisa quickly and efficiently designed a gorgeous web site for my Alexander Technique teaching practice, and offered lots of good advice and ideas throughout the design process. Elisa was also so easy to work with. She was friendly, practical, quickly responded to my emails, and made all the edits and changes to the web site that I requested quickly and efficiently. Thankfully, she kept track of all the details that I was losing tract of! She is very knowledgable, and was able to answer all of my questions about the entire design process in a way that was easily understandable, since I'm not such a techie. It was a great pleasure to work with Elisa Lewis. I would highly recommend Burning Ear Media. read more

I can't recommend Elisa highly enough! She started working with me when I was at the idea stage of my nonprofit organization. With skill, patience, and good humor -- essential qualities in my book -- she created a logo that frequently gets comments and a first version website that not only met my needs but worked with my highly challenged timetable and budget. She has been working with me ever since, helping me evolve the website, creating print materials, and advising on technical issues as they arise. She's really talented in all the ways you want a designer to be talented. Resourceful too. And, she has the magic ingredient: she truly cares about your project succeeding, supporting your vision, adding her opinion at just the right time, and being unflappable when I'm not. Call her! read more

We began working with Elisa six years ago when we created a website for an offspring company. Our experience was so positive that we then turned to her to re-create our main company website. Elisa was always patient, responsive, resourceful, and insightful during the creative and development process, and she continued to be as I adjusted to the maintenance of the website. Most recently, we worked together again to revise (actually recreated) both sites as we made them mobile-friendly. Elisa has been more than a web designer/graphic artist for us, we consider her a valuable member of our team and do not hesitate to refer her. read more

Burning Ear (Elisa) built our site four years ago at the beginning of the artisanal food movement and it captured who we are and what we wanted to project. One of the most amazing things about the site Elisa built for us, was that everyone liked it, even our competitors. The graphics are a vision of who we are. Elisa is one hundred percent professional and everyone who works with her is professional and gets the job done. We needed some extra programming and Elisa found the programmers and instructed them, and it all worked out quickly and without a hitch. She knows how to listen and she has an unique understanding of graphics and people. I have recommended Burning Ear to other business, and they too, are extremely satisfied. read more
