I hired Karen to redesign our storefront of a vegan restaurant in a regional shopping center…read more Karen was able to come up with the new design solution very quickly. Her ideas were so original and attractive, we were able to define the scope of work in a couple of meetings. She exceeded my expectations in every design component which we decided upon. She helped me to find a professional photographer at a reasonable price and worked directly with her to create super-appealing photos of our food. Karen never compromised her artistic standard. She demanded the photographer to continue working on a particular food item even after she had spent hours on it. Karen has opened my eyes about what a food photo should look like. Over the last fifteen years, I have worked with many amateur and professional photographers. I have never met anyone like Karen in terms of artist taste and attention to details. Karen loves her work and truly cares about her clients. She works hard and was able to complete the projection ahead of schedule. She is also an awesome writer. Our new design has a story board about the history and the founder of the restaurant. She was able to tell our story even better than we could. The story she wrote is not only inspirational to our customers but also to our managers and workers. Karen goes extra miles to help the small business owners like me who are short in time. For example, after she finished designing the to-go menu, she sent the design directly to an online printer. And all I need to do is wait for the printed menu to arrive. I cannot say enough good things about Karen. I will certainly contact her first when there is a design project in the future.

I'm extremely picky about photography style and it was so difficult to find someone who had specific experience with quinces.... then the heavens opened up and I found TaSin's website! Not only did she have a section devoted to quinceañeras, she also had package pricing right there on her site... AND to top it off her photography skills were amazing! I reached out to her right away to get her booked. I booked pretty far in advance and TaSin was super responsive and reached out to me multiple times to check in. On the day of the party TaSin arrive right on time and just felt like we'd known her forever. She was so unobtrusive and professional, but warm and wonderful at the same time. She has an amazing eye for detail and made sure to get every perfect shot. And the pictures! OMG, first, she got us the sneak peek within HOURS of the event, and then our full set of images exactly a month later. I have never seen such beautiful pictures of my daughter! TaSin captured the day amazingly! She will be my go to photographer for events forever!

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. 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!

I have worked with Ryan & Heejung at PxI Design since 2006. I was introduced to them while…read moreconsulting for Parties That Cook back in 2006, and we launched the company website together. We also created a recipe cookbook deck that was a great customer marketing tool. I then introduced them to Joanne Weir (PBS chef & James Beard award-winning cookbook author) and with them launched a completely new platform for her Joanne Weir's brand, TV series, email newsletters, postcards and other assets with many iterations along the way. When I consulted for Cayson Designs I brought them in to fix some technical issues left behind by a technical consultant. Since I joined Parties That Cook full-time almost 4 years ago we did a complete re-design of the website and newsletters, print collateral, and various digital assets including vehicle design. The PxI team is creative, thoughtful, open to way too many client iterations, and very reasonably priced. We can be honest with each other, and have pushed each other on design and other decisions as a team, and they have always gone to great lengths to ensure customer satisfied with the end result. They have become an extension of each company I have worked at over the last 11 years. I would unequivocally recommend them to you for print, online, video or other creative projects.

He is extremely unhelpful (not to mention, incredibly rude) unless you pay him and he doesn't quite understand the importance of being courteous even if you don't get paid, because it drives referrals. I will never refer any of the companies we do business with to him because of this fact. I usually never yelp bad businesses but I felt I had no choice on this one. He quoted us a website design that was 7x more expensive than the developers we chose to go with. And we love our new website. Be careful with this team. We're glad that we finally pulled the plug on the relationship we had with them.
