Joanna Haerle

Laura's design capabilities took our company proposal and collateral material to a higher level of expertise. She is very creative and knows how to interpret ideas into deliverables that fit the needs of an individual product or process. I highly recommend Laura as a designer for both personal and corporate needs.

I have known Laura for 22 years. Her outgoing personality and strong drive make her an asset for any company. She is very talented and her works speaks for itself. I am lucky to be able to call her a friend.
