Scott Blumin, Owner, SCOJA
worked with Laura at TeeBeeDee

"I hired laura to bolster the visual design efforts at a small web startup. She was originally hired to focus on design for the content and programming group, at which she excelled. As company priorities shifted, she was redeployed to the User Experience team to focus on web application visual design. This type of design was something relatively new to Laura, but she came up to speed very quickly... she was soon able to take the lead for new site features. Laura has a strong sense of design, a sharp eye for detail and the ability to quickly translate direction into finely nuanced designs. She was a great addition to the team and a pleasure to work with." January 25, 2008
