Ashley Biggar
Chelsie is one amazing individual! Her creativity is second to none. I’ve know Chelsie for a couple years now, and it never ceases to amaze me the innovative projects she’s rolling out. Her design is on point and is equally as beautiful as it as a top notch method of communication. Communication comes naturally to Chelsie and she works it in with the most wonderful strategy across platforms. I always seeing her keeping up with the latest and greatest trends and newest technology to keep her and her team relevant. She is also a gem of a teammate and is one of the kindest, easiest to work with collaborators that I’ve had the honor to work with. She definitely goes above and beyond to be sure all is going exceedingly well. I look forward to continued opportunities to work with her as well as see the next great project and communication she rolls out with the City.

Chelsie is extremely creative! She is timely and goes the extra mile to create a unique product for clients. She even used images of leather to add to the authentic look of a leather bound book for one of our clients. We'd love the opportunity to work with her again in the near future!
