Working with PRISM has been a wonderful experience. Deborah was the first person I met at PRISM and she represented the company very professionally. After working with Jing Johnson and the team at Prism I found it a very pleasant and gratifying experience. They were able to interpret my conceptual sketches and capture the essence of the project to produce a beautiful rendering in spite of a very demanding timeline. They added tremendous value to the vision we were trying to create. Only an experienced team can do this successfully, and Prism performed on time and on budget. It is without hesitation that I give my very highest recommendation to the team at Prism. They will deliver beyond your expectations.

I highly recommend Deborah and Prism. She is very professional, yet personable, always prompt, and frankly for service and quality unsurpassed. Our company recently took part in 2 Requests for Proposal with short deadlines and involving complicated mixed-use developments. Undoubtedly she and Prism are keys to any tens success with their creative, yet realistic renderings. Deborah is the consummate professional.
