Kathy Bilitzke
I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Curtis for nearly a decade. Creative, strategic, talented and bright, Curtis never fails to deliver. Most recently, I engaged him to tear down and rebuild the Michigan Humane Society’s website. With his help, we reimagined the visitor experience on the site and streamlined pathways for key electronic activities. The result is a responsive, highly functioning site that effectively articulates MHS’ mission, inspires visitors to action and captures the spirit and joy of the organization. Curtis is my first call anytime I need strategic digital counsel and top notch creative. Icing on the cake: he’s a blast to work with!

Curtis has helped our marketing team with various things over the last few years. The largest project Curtis worked with us on was throughout 2017 where he was helping us re-brand our company. He helped us through putting together brand pillars, designing a new logo, putting together a marketing branding guide, and created all of our templates to get us started. He also has helped us design multiple websites for our brand extensions, and most recently, he designed our careers page, which will be launching later this quarter. He is always very responsive, extremely knowledgeable in his field, his work is impressive, and most of all, he's the most pleasant person to be around. I would absolutely recommend Curtis to anyone looking for marketing/ design services!

I've known and worked with Curtis Jackson for nearly 25 years on every imaginable type of graphic, branding and web design and programming project. There simply is no one quite like Curtis. The consummate professional in every way he brings strategic vision, superior client counseling skills and creative and artistic talent I would rank right up there with anyone I have ever worked with. My only disappointment over the years is that my clients don't always offer enough opportunities for me to call on Curtis to collaborate. A pure please and outstanding talent.
