I worked with her to take photos for my website and to use in my marketing and I really appreciated her ideas prior to the shoot so we could use our time on site efficiently. She also made sure the final images were exactly what I wanted. Great communication and great working with her.

Frankly, she's the shit. Sorry, just being honest. I met Lauren 6-7 years ago at a bank…read more Ironically, I was looking for a Graphic Arts designer. Lauren has the rare ability to make your ideas, thoughts into reality. She is incredibly talented and gifted. There's never been a time while she was working on my project that she wasn't available. This is my second project with Lauren and I'm greatly satisfied. Don't believe me? Take a look at her website.

Then I ran into Patrick. DualStar is actually a network of dozens of professionals that can cover everything from concept to delivery. When he said full advertising agency, he wasn't kidding. Graphic design, local eco-friendly printing, websites, photo, video direct mail. I was really impressed. He is worth paying a visit, if nothing else to see his new office in Hayward; right near the San Mateo bridge.

Hello, I am Brian, a photographer in the Castro Valley area. As an up and coming businessman, I…read morereally had no idea of what to do or where to start. I lacked not only the tools I needed but experience. When I met Patrick, it was as if everything came together at once. He has so much experience in media and marketing and also a great personality to back it up. Iv'e had so many bad experiences with people i've called "mentors" in the past and was really hesitant to rely on someone else to learn from. Patrick's genuine style and integrity never failed and I am always looking forward to working with him.

Natalya is the most professional design consultant I've worked with. I've hired her over the years…read morefor probably 5 different clients. She works fast, is very upfront about expectations and timelines, and is always amazing at taking on revisions without grumbling or moaning. There was a problem with the most recent time I hired her. Some people in the company were irritated that the internal front-end team couldn't make our landing pages look half as good as the ones that Natalya produced. :) I have little doubt that I'll continue to email or call on Natalya more times over the years.

A Breath of Fresh Air…read more.. Finally a real web designer has been found. I have nothing but great things to say about Sierra Image Works and Natalya Brandt. I have been on the hunt for almost a year now for a company to build me a straight forward easy to use website. Before I found Natalya my company had worked with a few other designers and it always seemed like we were coming up with the look and feel of the site, we were trying to trouble shoot problems, which was very frustrating because we were paying them to do these things. Finally we found Natalya and she immediately took a hold of the situation and helped bring the project to the finish. There were problems that we ran into during the design phase, as all projects have, but Natalya always found a solution before we had a chance to offer our opinions. We liked Natalya so much we immediately gave her a second contract and once again she delivered flawlessly. I recommend Natalya and Sierra Image Works to all of my business associates and friends. Their plans and pricing are as competitive as anybody, but her problem solving skills are priceless. Thanks again Natalya.

Thank God for Linda! She's an answer to prayer! Besides being knowledgeable, she's personable…read more My website was frozen. And each of the three times I phoned my former website host, the tech said he would have to go to a higher tech who would call me back. And all three times they never followed through with a return call. But Linda took that mess and straightened it out. God used her to make a way when there seemed to be no way. And her sweet, patient personality makes her easy to work with. Large or small...commercial, spiritual, or personal...you can trust your website to her capable hands. And you'll think she's a gem, too, as I do! HoneyFromTheRockMinistry.com

I would highly recommend Kaneshige Design Associates to anyone looking for a new logo, or printing services. He will take care care if you and your business, and he'll get you a good price as well.

They have done my logo, and (6) t-shirt designs for me, plus the logo tee! The communication level is great! I have never had any problems on that end. The quality of work is great! They have gone above and beyond my expectations! I am pretty easy to work with; however, there has been a time or two where I wasn't completely satisfied, so we went back to the drawing board. Jay was very patient with me! He is just an awesome guy, from his personality to the way he runs his business! I couldn't ask for anything more! Lucky for me, I found him on Yelp, and decided to make a call based on his reviews. I chose to work with him based on his personality when we spoke. I am pleased to say, this business has NO paid yelp reviews, they are positive for a reason! Lastly, he is very honest. If he cannot do something, he will tell you. If there is a better way of doing something, he will voice his opinion, so let him. That is how magic is made! ;)

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!
