Bio
Jodi Broglio
i was lucky to work with Gabby on so many great projects. She is talented, creative, innovative, passionate and most of all a pleasure to work with. She is always a team player and understands the big picture. She listens to what her clients needs are and then finds the best solutions to present and mange through all stages of development. I love seeing how her art continues to grow and inspire. Gabby would be a fresh addition to any team or design project.

Gabriela designed our engagement party and wedding Save The Dates, Invitations & Thank You Cards. We loved her designs and were very impressed with her professionalism, organization and creative ideas. It was our best choice going with Gabriela to create custom stationary. Took a lot of stress out of wedding planning. Gabriela was accommodating with our busy schedules; communicating through email, phone calls, eTransmitting documents for our review, mailing paper samples & invitation orders to our residence so we did not have to meet in person for a pick up, She worked with us seamlessly despite living in different cities. We enjoyed working with Gabriela every step of the way throughout the design and printing process. I would highly recommend her services to all of my friends.

Gabriela designed my logo, business cards, and letter head for my law firm. Before working with Gabriela I had a very abstract concept of what I needed. Through her efforts and advice we shaped the idea and refined it until we had something that worked. I am amazed at the end results and extremely impressed with overall process. A million thanks!
