Kronos

Studio Mystic takes the time to understand not only our brand objectives, but also the environment we’re in. Michelle’s creativity and talent in creating a solution that meets these objectives always earns the praise of our customers and partners.

Gregg Gordon
Vice President, Data Sciences Practice - Kronos

Freeman Company

I’ve known Michelle for many years, and we worked together in the 1990’s at the same company. Then as now, she remains a consummate professional, providing a creative and polished product.

One of her key attributes is her ability to work patiently with non-creative folks like myself. More than once, I have gone to her with a rough idea and early copy that frankly should have been better prepared before turning it over. Despite the shortcomings in what we started with, I have always been more than please with the result.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle’s work and have done so several times to my clients.

On-Site Operations Supervisor at The Freeman Company

Yankee Leisure Group

Michelle is a top-notch graphic designer that moves projects efficiently without losing focus of our brand objectives. She is truly one of our most valued vendors.

John Tavano
CEO at Yankee Leisure Group, Inc.

PennWell Publishing

I have worked with Michelle for many years as both a colleague and now as client of Studio Mystic. In marketing for events, it is critical to develop campaigns that decrease the time-to-market which essentially extends the selling cycle for event-driven objectives and goals. Michelle brings a wealth of expertise in design and cost-effective layout. She is an exceptional and intuitive designer who anticipates the needs of the client — producing an array of materials from ads and 32-page direct mail conference brochures and all the collateral pieces in between. Working with Michelle is effortless and a great partnership – she grasps the idea or concept immediately and delivers the finished product better than you imagined and on time!
