Bio
Jana Smith
Celia is one of the most professional communicators I know with superior skills in graphic design, news writing and strategic communications. We worked together for over seven years and I recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for an exceptional marketing communications professional to join their team.
Jacqueline Schlasner
Celia is an amazing person to work both for and with. She's able to manage without overwhelming her employees or standing over their shoulders. She is able to get great results by encouraging the strengths of her employees, then granting them the freedom to do what they do best. As a creative communicator, she's in that lovely position of being experienced enough to know exactly what she's doing, yet open enough to be comfortable with trying new and evermore creative approaches to her graphic design. Working with/for her was the absolute best work experience that I have had thus far, and I will miss working with her.
