"Therese is incredibly versatile, a good thinker and a talented designer who brings concepts to life very quickly. I found her to be dedicated, hard working and above all, a pleasure to have in the creative department. She is spoken of incredibly highly by everyone at the agency. I would not hesitate to recommend Therese for any creative role".
Stephen Coll - Executive Creative Director, Havas Worldwide
"After working together on many successful advertising campaigns, I knew Therese was the only designer I wanted to use when starting my new business in Real Estate. I knew she would understand what was needed to standout in a very competitive industry. She nailed it! Therese knows instinctively what's required from a brief, saving me precious time. We are always being complimented on our branding, ads, collateral and sign boards. BVB is now the No.1 independent agency on the Northern Beaches and I have no doubt that Therese's creative direction and attention to detail have been integral to our company's continued success".
Simone Digney - Director, Bay.View.Beach Real Estate
"I have worked with Therese for over 20 years across different industries including cosmetics, paint, jewellery and homewares. Therese is extremely experienced and is able to provide guidance and expertise on any graphic design project including branding, promotions, advertising, catalogues and digital requirements such as websites, eDMs and banners. She is able to understand and execute briefs, visualising concepts and bringing them to life with ease. I have also called on Therese's styling skills over the years, where she has designed sets, sourced props and styled many rooms for photo shoots. Whenever I brief Therese on a project, I feel confident that she will understand the brief and produce quality artwork which meets my needs straight away. In addition, Therese has a great "can do" attitude, where she is able to work to tight deadlines and work well with others on collaborative projects. I have no hesitation in recommending Therese to anyone who has a need for an art director,graphic designer or stylist. Therese will deliver quality work, on time, on budget and in full".
