Judy was a fantastic ilustrator. She maintained a high level of respect for the original narrative and executed the visual interpretation beautifullly. Her consistent communication, providing daily updates with new artwork, created an engaging collaborative experience. The final download process was seamless and efficient. I confidently recommend her artistic services.

If I could click on all the reasons why, I would. Judith was super responsive within the hour! Was very clear with what I was looking for and got it over to me quickly. When the printer needed adjustments she responded again and got me the edits by end of day. Would 100% recommend and use for next project.

I highly recommend Judith Gosse as your graphicdesigner. She is very professional and does excellent work. She also has years of experience as a graphicdesigner. After explaining to her the type of logo that I desired, she gave me exactly what I wanted in a timely manner. The logo that she designed was for my daycare and all I can say is she nailed it!!! If you choose Ms Gosse I promise you won't be disappointed.

Working on a short time frame, Judith took our sad little logo and enhanced it with ease! She provided multiple formats and did it in only an hour. Highly respectable and professional. Would use again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I keep it simple by estimating an entire project up front based on a per-hour cost. The client knows the timeline and cost in advance, and what to expect if overruns occur. I keep my prices very reasonable and offer discounts for small businesses, repeat customers, and non-profits.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After responding to a request with information on price and what I will provide I have a phone conversation and/or meeting to establish the client's needs and expectations. It is essential to understand who they are and how the best results can be achieved. I ask a series of questions to determine their likes and dislikes. I then provide design choices, revisions as needed, and final product in all required formats.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Fine Arts at the University of Kansas and the University of California and have been in the design arena for over 40 years. I am a certified expert in Adobe CC Illustrator and Photoshop, expert level in Powerpoint, and I stay on top of advances in graphic software, mostly through online training and hands-on work. I teach and attend classes in drawing and painting to children and adults in my community.
