I've worked with Alison for nearly ten years on a dozen different projects. She is, quite simply, the best designer I've ever worked with. Every remarkable design element she produces is thoughtfully crafted to contribute function, pleasure and meaning and ultimately delivers dramatically increased value. I am continually amazed by her creative brilliance and increasingly reliant upon her flawless execution.

Alison has taken an understanding of what we do and turned it into an image, look and presence that I love. I have gone from embarrassment to complete comfort, now I know our quality service is not missed because our collateral materials is missing the mark.

I have worked with Alison for over ten years. I continue to come back to her year over year because of her vision and attention to detail. She is a skilled translator, taking my image and concept and making it come alive. Every detail is tended to and that makes my life easy. I highly recommend her for overall concept and pulling all the details of your vision together.

We needed a logo, design, color ... pretty much everything. Alison created a totally fresh new look that made our clients and employees feel proud. Now I completely understand the value of creating and cultivating an image that reflects who we are.

I have worked with Alison for more than 15 years. During this time, we worked on numerous projects together. Some contained extremely high levels of difficulty, complexity, and detail, while others were simple, uncomplicated and straight forward. Regardless of the scope of the project, I can always rely on Alison to deliver a consistent level of professionalism, attention to detail and a standard of perfection that lets me know that the completed project will exceed my expectations. She assumes total ownership of every facet of the project where no detail is too small to merit her complete attention.

In 2004, after purchasing Airserco Manufacturing, I was in desperate need of a creative individual to assist in the Airserco brand image. Fortunately I was introduced to Alison. She took a tired and sleepy 75 year company image and, building on the history, created a modern look and feel that told the HVAC industry, “Airserco is back!” With her guidance we were able to consolidate all of our customer touch points, from packaging, labeling, print, internet, into a consistent look and feel. Over the past 5 years she has consistently delivered exceptional work and unparallel customer service!
-Tim Winings, President, Airserco Manufacturing Company

What started out as a logo for the Solon High School Athletic Department has developed into a symbol of unity for the entire Solon City School District! Alison’s sleek design has certainly helped create a more contemporary and widely recognized image for the Solon City Schools.
-Erin Short, Solon High School

Alison knows how to interpret a dream. I'm in the design industry and wanted something no one else had for my wedding invitations. She understood the elements I wanted, and with the detail and talented eye of a master designer, created an elegant, brilliant and innovative collection of place cards, invitations and wedding programs for a memorable day.
-Re & John Gazzuolo

Her work definitely stands out. Through color selection, paper and ink, Alison can make things appear much more than what they are. She’s very attuned to her profession. She realizes that advertising and design is not about products-it’s about people.
-Al Schroeder, 40-year advertising veteran

Your work is exceptional and makes a statement.
-Eric Smith, President, C4 Polymers, Inc.

“Beyond Words” ... How do you explain with words a wedding invitation that captures with flawless syncronicity the essence of two people united as one? Alison has a rare gift. Refreshing, enlightening and seamless are the first words that come to mind when I think about our experience with Alison. The whole theme for our wedding was born with Alison's vision and what I like to call “our living invitation.” Any important event invitation design can come to life in her hands. Eric and I thank you, Alison ... keep breathing tangible life into the non-tangible.
-Catherine & Eric Forsberg

Alison Crawford has an unusually keen eye for graphic design. Her work is consistently top notch, even with the smaller ads, where there is a limited amount of space. She is a pleasure to work with... efficient, thorough, and professional.
-Marsha Ettinger, former Senior Account Executive, Cleveland Jewish News

We are Co-Founders of SDG Advisors, LLC, a consulting practice that works primarily with Catholic schools. When we started our practice, we needed a logo design and printed collateral materials. We had pretty much decided to work with another graphic designer, when we met Alison, and she blew us out of the water. She asked all the right questions, and she listened. Alison worked tirelessly for us. She developed our logo design, our letterhead, note cards, folders, brochures, envelopes, and even our website www.sdgadvisors.org. The result was much more than a logo and some stationery; it was a complete company identity.

The feedback on our materials was overwhelmingly positive. Compliments include “impressive… elegant… compelling… professional” and on and on. But even more than the final product, what we have loved about working with Alison is the process. She is available and reliable, and she meets deadlines. She is extremely open to the back and forth tweaking that is an inevitable part of work like this. She offers a number of options, and works with her clients to refine each one until it is the perfect fit.
-Stacey Picard & Sr. Ritamary Welsh, OSU, SDG Advisors LLC

Her work and ambition merit attention. Her clients are devout. Alison’s creativity and passion produces an energy that is not only profound but also unparalleled.
-Michael C. DeAloia

I just met a new volunteer today-she was asking who designed our logo because she liked it so much-thought it was clean and strong. It’s hard to believe we just started using the new name/new logo on April 1 ’07-seems like it’s been in place forever.
-Karen Peterson, Art Therapy Studio

I needed an image that said I was a leader in commercial real estate. Alison helped me accomplish that! I couldn’t be more satisfied with my look and image.
-David Krone, President of The Krone Group

I cannot say enough about the high level of consideration that Alison gave to the two projects I contracted; the first in 2002 was La Tea Da and the current one is Simply Charming.
For each start-up venture, I merely had to give Alison a broad outline of my vision, and she just ran with it to create outstanding logos. And after we had decided on the logo, Alison created impressive collateral materials for each venue.
The materials you created for La Tea Da were of the highest caliber, ensuring that my customers knew that they were at a first-class establishment. From the fan-fold menu to the group of cards offering descriptions of tea and coffee preparation, my customers were very impressed.
And the current work for my new store, Simply Charming, has been great. I am getting so many responses to the ads produced; they are clean and the message is clear and direct. Many of the print materials were unique, allowing numerous uses for each item, so that I have flexibility in their use and do not have to print volumes of different cards.
-Elisabeth Gevelber, LaTeaDa & Simply Charming

Alison Crawford is the reason why people driving by my business take notice! Alison has updated the look and style of Chagrin Valley Fitness-logo, signage, advertisements and marketing materials. She had ideas about what would work. And she was right! Alison has the unique talent of listening, understanding and living her work. She gets it! If you want to take your business to the next level... Alison can do it!
-Kirsten Quick, cVf: Chagrin Valley Fitness

We are extremely pleased with the results, as they perfectly capture and convey the spirit of our mission and message.

Everything is AWESOME. Just perfect. You rock.
-Heidi Robb, Culinary Specialist

Alison is much more than a designer. She is more conceptual, and offers consultative services to a degree that other artists do not. She helped me recognize that the name of my company did not convey what I did. With her assistance, I now have a new name and identity that accurately reflects my company and its services. It has done amazing things for my business!
-Andy Birol, Birol Growth Consulting

What I liked about working with Alison is that she listened. She understood that I needed to differentiate. Her ideas and creativity captured the essence of what I did and it helped catapult my business to a whole new level.
-Cheryl Becher, Becher’s Brook

I had reached a dead end with a design firm and desperately needed swift action. On a tight deadline and not much to work with, Alison assembled a team and proceeded to blow us away with her ideas. She completed the project on time and within budget while giving us much more than we imagined. I cannot speak highly enough of Alison’s creativity and artistry.
