In meeting Kassandra I was quickly impressed with the passion and excitement that she brought to our project(s) to develop and deliver a marketing campaign that would double our graduation photography business at Queen’s University. I highly recommend Kassandra. The combination of her individual talent, team leadership, along with the polite professionalism she continues to bring is impressive and inspiring.

Kassandra was exceptional to work with! She was thorough, creative, quick to respond and went above and beyond to create not only a new logo for us, but also a renewed vision for the brand. She blew our expectations out of the water and I would recommend her to anyone looking to take their brand or digital marketing to the next level. Thank you Kassandra!
