Bio
Malia Duffy
Working with Ms. Magnuson was a privilege. Her deep knowledge, skills, creativity, and work ethic were instrumental to the success of our project.
Sophia Liang
Tessa was a great partner in designing both my new logo and website. Given my budget, she was able to come up with a solution that met all of my needs. Tessa also designed a beautiful print collateral piece with a rushed deadline and limited guidance. Highly recommend!
Lauren Alexanderson
Very rarely in your professional career will you have a chance to work with someone like Tessa. She is a designer who seems to be able to read minds, creating what you thought you wanted (but couldn't always articulate) on paper or on screen. Her finished pieces are always inspired, with every detail thought out, and always in touch with the broader goal or established branding. She is pragmatic and realistic about deadlines, but she is hardly reluctant to take on new challenges -- e.g. a new program or product -- a clear indication of her intellectual curiosity. She displays a clear maturity both in her style and in the way she carries herself throughout the process of creation. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her for two years and hope our professional paths will cross again soon!
