Trina designed our band website (including a custom background) and worked with me to enhance graphic elements including the logo and artwork for our digital presence and physical merchandise. She provided us with detailed information about the website structure and procedures for updates. We've had to call on Trina for support a few times since the site was launched and she has always been helpful and responsive. She also screenprinted large scale custom covers for our third album, and worked with us to digitally develop the layout for the design. She was fantastic to work with - she really listened to the needs of the band and advised us on what would work well in particular formats. We had a strong idea about what kind of artwork we wanted and she preserved that vision and transformed it into high quality visual elements across a variety of formats. I'd strongly recommend Trina if you're looking for a creative person who works really well with clients, listens to their needs, and brings her expertise to the work in a genuine and collaborative way.
