what people say

"Rikki has consistently provided her talented design services to our foundation for the past several years. The work that she does is very visually appealing and has helped us raise a significant amount of money!

In addition to her excellent design skills, she is very prompt, personable and a pleasure to work with. She is happy to accommodate the smallest changes and never finishes the job without us being 100% thrilled.

We are so grateful to Rikki and we owe her so much thanks and gratitude for her generous support!"

— The Bryan and Amanda Bickell Foundation
