Kind words
"Sarah-Jayne is creative, clever, dynamic, and a storyteller. She is exactly the sort of person you want to have on your team when working on a project that uses visual communication to tell a story. She has an eye for good design, from a social media graphic, to a 100 page magazine.
The response to the Shepherdess has been heartwarming, and I believe it is thanks to Sarah Jayne’s eye. She has created a product that is beautiful, meaningful, and resonates with a rural audience. We have had such a positive response.
Sarah Jayne is passionate about what she does, and this shows in every aspect of her work - when you are getting an idea off the ground, it is wonderful to work with someone who is equally as excited on a project as you! It feels like a true collaboration.
She is organised, responsive and reliable. She gets things done when she says she will. I completely trust in her knowledge of the technical details of design and getting a magazine off to print, and she can have a laugh when things don’t quite go to plan. Shepherdess would not be what it is without Sarah Jayne’s depth of talent, eye for design, creativity and thought."
