I have…read moreworked with Doniphan over the years on different projects, and always have had an open honest policy of being able to say just how I would like to have my design work done. This is a rare and welcome trait in a design team these days to be responsive and set aside the ego to get underneath the root of the project and tackle it as a coherent team, efficiently and creatively. One project that was memorable was my 10th anniversary of one of my companies. We did a full service re-design including a catalogue, post cards, stationery, logo; the list grew daily...and Doniphan calmly kept all the balls in the air, and running smoothly on time while delivering brilliant graphics, ideas, and a team who listened, as much as they talked.

Being in the design business (Custom picture framing) I wanted a different look with real punch. I ran across A Media's own website and was blown away by the color on their site. I called A Media and said I wanted a similar look. Doniphan Blair of A Media created it for me. Take a look at www.ArtLoftFraming.com. Over the last few years I have tweaked and changed content and am still doing it. I love my website and it has paid for itself multiple times over. Doniphan has been more than helpful in assisting me on the various changes. I am glad I made the original contact.

Do not hire Blue Lotus Films for your filming needs!!…read more I hired Blue Lotus Films to make a professionally edited film of a live performance I created. The quality of the film they created was beyond unprofessional. Sarah, the lead of this company, even admitted to me in emails that some of the footage from the videographers she subcontracted was below professional standards. To name a few issues with the video: -whole parts of songs are cut off -bows and speech at the end are missing -there is shaky footage throughout whole video where it jumps off the stage and into audience, audience's heads cutting off what's happening on stage (one of the videographers was videoing "hand-held" instead of on a steady tripod) -there are misaligned end credits with incorrect titles (e.g. "production" instead of "cast) -there are black spots in the video where it goes blank -the sound file was misaligned with video in certain parts -different color/lighting from the 2 cameras that were being used (one is dull and one is bright) -there are missing key parts of the show that I requested ahead of time to capture (both on the phone and in writing) - because of this lack of following direction, there was only 1 camera shooting for about a third of the show. -corrupted files which meant that end of show was completely cut off. After all this, I requested a refund, as the footage was completely unusable, and Sarah refused. Terrible business ethics. If you want a professional video and to work with someone ethical, find another company.

Sarah is an awesome videographer and even more amazing person!…read more We worked a couple of times on different projects and she is easy to work with which makes it an overall great experience! Reasonable prices and excellent quality work! I highly recommend!

The Ultimate Surprise: A 40th Birthday Dinner to Remember!…read more I don't even know where to begin -- my 40th birthday dinner was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was a total surprise, flawlessly planned and executed by the incredible team at Bash Please, and filled with exactly 40 of my favorite people. Yes, 40 people for 40 years -- how perfect is that? The setting was stunning. Bash Please somehow captured everything I love and turned it into an effortlessly beautiful, inviting, and joy-filled atmosphere. Every detail -- from the long communal tables to the coastal-inspired décor -- felt personal and thoughtful, like it was made just for me. Because it was. And the food? A crab feed feast that dreams are made of. Piles of fresh, buttery crab, warm sourdough, crisp salads, and all the fixings. The kind of meal that gets messy in the best way -- everyone cracking shells, passing platters, laughing, and making memories. It was communal, it was delicious, and it was so me. Champagne flowed, the conversations never stopped, and I felt completely surrounded by love. I genuinely can't think of a better way to ring in a new decade. Massive thanks to Bash Please for pulling off a night that was perfectly designed and truly unforgettable. I felt celebrated, cherished, and completely surprised -- and that's no easy feat. 10/10. Would turn 40 again.
