What People Are Saying
“I Absolutely love how Talya can illustrate things that would need hundreds of words in just a few pictures. She is great at developing a style with the client and is responsive about changes. I am looking forward to the future work she will do for us. Thank you!.”
— Lisa from Sit Happens
“We worked with Talya to create labels for our new baking mixes going into the supermarket this year. We valued her experience in food labeling requirements and her ability to take our ideas and create an eye catching label. Talya also considers future products or projects as part of her concept. This is vital for brand consistency. We will work with Talya again.”
— Pauline from Ikuna Taste
“We were introduced to Talya a few years ago by a friend when looking for a new designer for our business and we absolutely love her. She has done design for all aspects of our business from menu design to packaging design and most recently web design. We would be lost without her expertise! After going through two companies that produced awful websites, Talya saved the day and redesigned the entire thing in a couple weeks. She listens to what you want and adds on fantastic suggestions that you wouldn't have thought of. She takes the time to dive in and get to know your business so she can best portray your style and it shows. We HIGHLY recommend Talya for all your design needs!”
