“I passionately listen to my clients and work to create a relationship that allows them to share and collaborate freely with me. Troubleshooting and revisions to meet their expectations and goals are priority to me. Providing relevant solutions for my client and allowing them to collaborate and love their design is why I became an art director. I do what I do to develop a creative relationship with my client and put their needs to work within the design process. Challenging myself to reach the desired goal of my client is what I breathe and sweat!” ~Designer, Jennifer Carbuto
