“Chelcie was professional, approachable and, most importantly, delivered excellent work with quick turnarounds. Print media demands a lot from designers and can be pretty monotonous work at times but Chelcie always had a positive attitude and impressed with her creativity. I miss working with her and anyone would be lucky to have her on their team.”
