TESTIMONIALS
I’ve been blessed to have worked with some great people, and seeing their businesses grow over time has been personally rewarding for me. My clients can rely on me to create quality work, meet deadlines, share outside-experience and connect with me easily — a level of trust has been developed along the way. I can be as involved in their design/marketing process as they’d like me to be. And we have a little fun along the way too!
Where do I begin?! Jill’s talent is out of this world! I’ve had her help me with several different projects for my businesses over the years and every. single. time. I was amazed at how she took my business ideas and needs and worked her design magic. She truly understands business and branding! It’s a no brainer that she’s now my go-to designer! Worth the investment!

We are honored and blessed to say our Brand Identity Package created by Jill received both two AAAwards (GOLD AWARD and a TOP 5 AWARD) and will move onto district competition! She also designed my website, and one of my sales reps used my website as a example at a national meeting! I have been so blessed to benefit from her talent with Southpaw Print Co. I cannot say enough good things about how Jill was able to listen to my vision and take it further than I EVER imagined! I have said this before, but if you are thinking about starting a business or already have a business, this was the best thing I did to get off the ground – it gave me direction! And I believe it has helped bring me more business than I expected.

Jill, you have turned this idea into reality! We feel so fortunate to have you in our little corner. Here’s the thing – they say no one cares as much about your business, dreams, etc. as you do. The thing is, I believe you care about this project as much as we do! I feel it when I talk with you on the phone and in the beautiful end results you share with us. I’m 100% certain it would not have gotten off the ground without you, and, we are so fortunate to have your incredible talent behind our brand!

I have hired Luckythirteen for two of my business branding endeavors now. Jill invested in understanding my story, business, and product to develop a brand identity that is a true expression of who we are. Her design skills and ability to interpret my ideas and needs has resulted in branding that I could have never imagined possible. She is fun to work with, open to uncharted territory, and willing to take on all creative challenges. What made working with Jill so much fun was the collaboration of ideas and desires — through our conversations, I was able to see my ideas and thoughts come to life! She is also extremely professional, timely with her work and deliverables, and prompt to respond to my ongoing needs as a business.

One of the things that I like best about working with Luckythirteen Design is that Jill’s work is always efficient, and well worth the investment. Another thing that sets Jill apart from other designers I have worked with is that she always focuses on the finished product and any print parameters, specs or limitations, right from the start of a project. In the past, with other designers I would end up having to fix or revise things, whereas Jill always offers to work directly with our suppliers and printers and see it through to the finished product.
Jill does an OUTSTANDING job taking ideas and inspiration and turning it into a logo, brand identity and all the support matierials to launch. Her CREATIVITY shines through and the finished products are better than I could have even imagined! I have enjoyed working with Jill — she has great ideas and is so responsive to the needs of the client. I have had the opportunity to work with Jill on several different organizations — her ability to personalize each project and exceed expectations makes the process fun and rewarding to all involved! THANK YOU Jill for everything! I will continue to turn to Luckythirteen Design for all my business needs and would be quick to recommend Jill to others!

Jill helped with some rebranding materials for my business and I couldn’t be happier with the designs she came up with. She really got to know us and our brand before coming up with initial concepts and she hit the nail on the head. I highly recommend her services and will be using her for sure in the future!

Jill makes the design process easy. She goes above and beyond with presentation, creativity, and service. She’s quick to listen and incorporate feedback, yet always ready with new ideas and options to get to the best end goal. I am always impressed by her turnaround time and precision. It’s not everyday that you find a person with amazing talent, great project management, and a service personality, but Jill is just that!

Jill is a fantastic partner. She redesigned our branding elements and gave us overall branding guidelines to help us share Shalom’s mission. She helped us redesign our website so that it is easy to navigate and maintain. She is creative and worked hard to understand our needs. Thanks, Jill!

From Day 1, Jill has been nothing but amazing. She is professional, timely and her work is phenomenal. Although our line of work (photography) also requires creativity and an artistic eye, Jill has presented designs to us that we simply could and would not have come up with ourselves. Simply stated: it has been an absolute pleasure working with Jill and we can’t wait for what the future holds, both for her as well as for us as we continue working with her. If you need a designer, Jill is definitely your gal. Thank you!

Jill is on time with her projects. She guides the client with great ideas, yet if I had an idea she also incorporated what I wanted as well. Very professional and easy to work with.

I highly recommend Jill, at Luckythirteen Design for any made-from-scratch project. Her work is so clean, professional, up-to-date & superbly well done. I really appreciated her attention to detail, professional grade work, promptness, and friendliness. I knew Jill was the one to create our family’s dairy farm logo once I found out she grew up on on a dairy farm too – we had been searching and searching for ideas to bring the true identity of our farm to life and continued to come up empty-handed until I finally reached out to Jill. To me, she really did the impossible! She was able to incorporate everything we wanted into our logo design and got us on track with some ideas for continued growth in the area of our branding!

Jill was a joy to work with. She made the entire logo process go smoothly and quickly with her willingness to truly listen to our ideas, and her receptiveness to our suggestions for edits.

I have used Jill’s freelance design services on a number of occasions. Each time I was impressed by Jill’s impeccable attention to detail, which resulted in very few edits needed. Jill’s creativity and designs are very modern, fresh, and clean. When a high profile piece of collateral is needed, I call on Jill’s expertise. She is a top-notch professional designer who is extremely organized and thorough.
