Testimonials:
"Cara is an extremely talented designer and illustrator. I hired her to create a web page for my company, Maid Marian Muffins. In creating the illustration for the page, she perfectly captured the tone and feel of the business. Additionally, she was really fun to work with—open, committed, and thoughtful. Hire her to design your site!"– Jessica Vander Salm, Owner, Maid Marian Muffins, Brooklyn, NY
"I have worked closely with Cara Kleid developing interactive quizzes for the Elk Country Visitor's Center in Benezette, PA. Her work as a graphic designer is a highly valuable asset to our team. The sleek images she created fit perfectly with the themes and styles requested by out client. Her creativity brought a lot to the table, especially in terms of making these interactive programs user-friendly. The promptness with which she revised and returned her designs to us was highly impressive and has been vital in keeping the project moving along. I look forward to getting to work with Cara again in the future."– Amanda Werner, Project Manager, Magic Lantern, Pittsburgh, PA
