Bio
Julie Cortés
Wendy has been an absolute miracle worker for our organization! Her ability to get things organized, as well as her project management and CRM skills have been top-notch. She is an excellent communicator and a great "fixer," plus her work ethic is divine. I could not recommend a better person for this job.

Wendy has been great to work with! We hired her to work on mobile-interactive content design for us. She has incredible knowledge of graphic design, brings new ideas to the table, accomplishes each deliverable on or ahead of schedule and communicates efficiently throughout every project we’ve had with her. I'd highly recommend her.
