"It has been my great pleasure to work with Kelly in designing packaging/logo for the very challenging skin care industry; after all how does one stand out from thousands of similar products. Well Kelly sure figured it out fast with a concept that was exactly what I was looking for. Additionally, she has been caring, responsive, helpful, focused and of course, incredibly creative!! I look forward to working with her on all my projects."

Kelli Klus | Owner | Swell Skin

"We were at a loss when our previous designer could no longer work with us. Then we found Kelly. She quickly learned our style and has since created many fresh and exciting pieces for us that cohesively work together to support our brand. Her turnaround time is incredible, even for those urgent, last-minute projects that always seem to crop up. We couldn’t be more pleased!"

Michelle Shelton | Marketing Manager | On Call International

"I’ve worked with Kelly for over a decade and must say that her contribution to the success of our company has been amazing. Not only is she an integral and critical part of our web team and is responsible for the awesome design of the world-class web sites we have created but she has also been responsible for many of our print and web projects for our own organization. She is smart, talented  and constantly innovates and re-invents herself. I could not have asked for a more devoted and fabulous business partner."
  

Chad Barr | President | CB Software Systems, Inc.

"I was hesitant to work with a graphic artist that was thousands of miles away. After receiving my first set of documents that KCB Designs created for our business I realized that distance was NOT an issue. Kelly seems to read my mind. Her ability to bring about a complete look for my business makes my business look like it has been established for years. We were working on a tight deadline and KCB managed to meet it, all while exceeding our expectations!"

Susan Toussaint | co-founder | The WorkComp Advisory Group

"KCB Designs has become a valuable and trusted part of our team. As a young and fast-paced nonprofit, we had no marketing materials when we found Kelly. She took the time to understand our mission and specific objectives before she designed our logo, web pages, posters, reports, invitations and brochures — exceeding our expectations, especially when faced with the challenge of presenting our large amounts of data. She provides helpful and thoughtful guidance and offers great ideas that she knows must fit in a tight budget. Her fast turnaround is remarkable and she is always a pleasure to talk to — no matter how many last-minute changes we throw at her. Kelly's eagerness to please is matched by her professionalism, talent and generous spirit. Case in point: when we invited her to our event for which she had designed a report and brochure, she insisted on arriving early to help set up!"

Diane Solov | Program Manager | Better Health Greater Cleveland

"Working with KCB Designs has truly been a pleasure.  Kelly is creative, professional, friendly and a true asset to our company.  Kelly understands our needs so well that she often needs little direction in order to produce something amazing… whether it be an ad, brochure or other marketing collateral.  Not only is her work impeccable, but Kelly is very accommodating when it comes to our timelines and quick turnaround needs.  Doing business with Kelly is not only a joy… it’s a must!"

Rebecca Holland | Marketing Coordinator | Kaufman Container Company

"My work with Kelly Brooks started with a simple but effective idea for a new logo that got rave reviews from my clients.  From that creative and well-executed idea grew a professional and dramatic new look for our website, newsletter and marketing collateral.  Kelly successfully took my half-baked ideas and developed them into an exciting new brand for my business.  Through the entire process, she exhibited a rare mix of talents - she is creative as well as efficient, business-minded, and responsive.  I look forward to her continued contribution to the success of my business and would highly recommend her. "

Mike Couch | President | MC & Associates Inc.

"My website is fantastic!  I am so excited…This is a total transformation of my website into a contemporary, artistic, powerful, information-filled, easy-to-use and fascinating website.  I am sure it will increase my business as a speaker and consultant.  I will be proud to tell people to “check my website.”… We are VERY impressed and pleased."

Steve Savage | President | Savage International

"Not only is Kelly fun to work with, creative, flexible, and patient but since we began using KCB Designs we have been able to increase our name recognition and better fulfill our mission...To improve lifetime opportunities for women in the greater Cleveland area who did not complete their high school careers due to childcare needs and economic issues by providing education in academics, parenting, and workforce skills, thereby allowing each student's full potential to be realized."

Marc Nathanson | Executive Director | Old Stone Foundation

"Kelly worked with me on two previous projects, but this was significantly more substantial, involving several different types of marketing folders and brochures. The bottom line is that I now have extremely well designed and professional looking collateral materials. Kelly listens well, is exceptionally creative, and offers great service, including help with ensuring that the final printed materials reflect her excellent design work. I recommend her without any hesitation."

Emory Petrack, MD, FAAP, FACEP | Petrack Consulting, Inc.

"Five years ago when Federal Equipment began it’s marketing makeover, we needed a clear, instantly differentiated brand identity. Working with Kelly Brooks (KCB Designs) we created a unique and completely new identity system, website, and graphic guidelines for our company. Since then KCB Designs has done it all for us: logos, brochures, website design, corporate identity—you name a design project, from high gloss, to high-tech, to a workman like mailer, Kelly has pulled it off terrifically.

Kelly has the ability to interpret our marketing vision and messages impeccably, enabling her to create excellent marketing and communication pieces that have consistently helped us reach our marketing objectives. Kelly has always been collaborative, inventive, very fast in developing winning concepts, and is the most deadline oriented designer I’ve ever worked with—she has gone the extra mile many times to turnaround last minute projects on time. She is very easy to work with, and I have recommended Kelly many times and will continue to do so. From websites, to direct mail, to high-end corporate design, Kelly’s work is innovative and visually captivating — striking a call to action from those viewing the work. Kelly’s designs have created breakthrough results for Federal Equipment on many projects, and I consider KCB Designs an indispensable part of our team."

"KCB Designs continues to amaze me with its ever-increasing levels of responsiveness and service. The designs Kelly created for my web site and marketing collateral are professional, creative, and appealing to others, as demonstrated by the many compliments I have received about them. In fact, I had trouble choosing among some designs because they were so striking I didn't want to leave any of them out! Kelly tactfully asked questions about things I had no idea I should be addressing, and provided suggestions that communicated the message I wanted to convey. Throughout the design process, KCB Designs consistently provided seamless service by acting as the go-between with my web site design team and the printer. I found Kelly to be exceptionally easy to work with, very accommodating, and quick to grasp the concepts I want my materials to convey. I recommend KCB Designs without hesitation or reservation to anyone who wants an exceptional experience with a very creative, responsive, and professional designer."

Pat Lynch, Ph.D., SPHR | President | Business Alignment Strategies

"After nearly 5 years of working with KCB Designs, Kelly's talent for creating a distinguished visual identification system that contributes to our brand is consistently fresh and amazing.
