Bio
Sandra Anderson-Mendenhall
Anytime I hear someone needing a photographer, I immediately refer Margaret! She is very dedicated to her work, and always expects the best for her client. I loved her photography at postings and shows, that I even had her do my family portraits for me. Our friends compliment us all of the time, and I gladly give her name out since she does such great work and is so easy to work with!
Margaret Gillan Ritchie
I have had the wonderful experience of working one-on-one with Margaret on multiple class assignments. Margaret often brings up a point of view that may sometimes get overlooked by others, therefore spurring an interesting debates. Margaret is flexible and easy to get along with, no question about it. Her essays for class are always well-thought out and thorough. Margaret strives for excellence and more often than not, achieves it with ease. She also has a keen eye and creates beautiful pieces of art through her photography.
Zack Rosen
Margaret is a smart, efficient worker with keen attention to detail. If you bring her a project, she will quickly pick it up, analyze its needs and produce a fantastic end-result. Having no former web design training, I was impressed to see how quickly and seemingly effortlessly Margaret learned the basics of CSS and HTML. She knew what was possible and had a fantastic thought process to turn something from an HTML tag into a visual design. I recommend Margaret, without hesitation, for her interactive knowledge and ability to create designs!
