Testimonials

“In my almost 20 years at this, having worked in advertising, design, and branding agencies, Claudia is one of the most creative people I’ve worked with. She elevates her own ideas and those of who she collaborate with, to the highest standards. And on top of it all, she’s kind, passionate, and funny. Her talents are wide-ranging. She is a highly-skilled print and digital designer, fearless art director, bold concept thinker, impeccable photographer, and photo/video director. In this business, it’s important to have those who care about the human side of the user experience, and who have an artistic sensibility and discipline. That is Claudia. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Claudia Renzi at Crate and Barrel on in-store digital kiosks. Claudia is an incredibly talented designer and artist with a broad skill set in print and digital media. She is a highly collaborative professional and a joy to work with.”

“Claudia is an extremely versatile and talented art director. She has a keen understanding of working in a dynamic and challenging environment while delivering truly exceptional work. Claudia’s multicultural perspective and deep appreciation of fine art are apparent in the sophistication of her designs (and the way she approaches collaboration)”

“Claudia is a very talented creative. She works hard and it shows in her work. She is a very creative thinker, always putting great thought into her designs, making her a valuable asset for any design team. I worked with Claudia on many digital projects from videos to full-on campaign concepts and she consistently pushed the creative and was always willing to do what it took to achieve the best results.

Claudia works well in both the traditional and digital world...she is a true Swiss Army knife when it comes to art direction. And while she is very serious about design, she also has a great sense of humor which makes working with her all the more enjoyable. ”

“I worked with Claudia for over two years at Norman Design; her creativity — especially her typographic sensibilities — were consistently surprising and inspiring. Her work experience is a great asset, having worked with VSA Partners and SGDP, as well, which are two great design firms in Chicago. Apart from her design proficiency, she’s a great social addition to any team, she’s friendly and funny, which is as important as being a good Kerner. ”

“Claudia is a competent designer and director who excels at print, digital, and motion work. Her design-sense and branding are top-notch. She is a pleasure to work with, and she easily learns new processes and programs.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Claudia at Crate and Barrel. She is a creative and talented artist with a well-practiced design vocabulary. She provided senior experience for image creation, design, typography, and has a strong color sensibility ...her illustration skills are exceptional, and combined with her interests in motion graphics, she truly offers a diverse set of skills. I’ve always found Claudia easy to work with. She offers a strong point of view (necessary at her level), and I’ve observed her be a fine collaborator and a lot of fun to be around. ”

“I worked with Claudia to design a logo and branding look for my start-up consultancy. She is fabulous to work with: highly collaborative, insightful, and responsive. She provided me a wide variety of options to choose from and listened well to my intent and needs. I would highly recommend Claudia for any branding work. She’s a real pro and wonderful to work with.”

“Claudia has designed brochures, logos, and reports for me over the past ten years. Since I was at a nonprofit with limited resources, she often provided this work on a pro bono basis. Her designs are incredibly creative and beautiful; tailored to the substance of the work such as gender issues in the Middle East; and of high quality. She’s an amazing graphic designer and I love working with her. She is truly responsive to the needs of her customers, is timely, and is a pleasure to work with.”

“Claudia is a wonderfully creative and an excellent designer who is also a dedicated and enthusiastic team member. Additionally, she is a very good artist, one of the few younger designers I know who can actually draw!”

“Claudia approaches her design work with a true artistic sensibility. Her passion for logo design translates in the final product. It was hard to choose from the plethora of great options she presented in her first round.

She truly understood my brand personality and was able to translate that visually. She also understood the specific design needs of my business and all the ways in which the logo was going to be used, from product packaging to social media, and created versatile designs that could be used in a variety of mediums and platforms.”
