What Our Clients Say About Us

“Bending Design has been first class and are an important partner in our success. They quickly assessed our business requirements and offered innovative design solutions that exceeded our expectations. They truly have turned our Journals into better tools for our members.”

MANAGING EDITOR, Pediatrics®

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS

“Bending Design is a breath of fresh air to work with – both professionally and personally. In the process of redesigning our website, which was the first project we signed on for with the company, we were impressed with the level of detail and analysis that was put into the project – from researching other web sites to copywriting, regular project update reports and day to day communications, I never had to follow-up with them or wonder if something was missed or forgotten. As a matter of fact, Bending Design kept me on task – which is a welcome change from other vendors we’ve worked with! Since then, we enlisted their help with a print design project and were, once again, so pleased with the process and the result that we made the decision to keep Bending Design on retainer for our design needs.”

LEANNE KASSAB, CFMP

“Bending Design gives clients exceptional service specific to creative design. They have consistently delivered out of the box concepts that are a strategic fit for the brand image. Sharon and her team are highly responsive and bring a boutique creative aspect to the project with a very personal level of client service. I value Bending Design's contribution to my projects and continue to enjoy the legacy they have created for us.”

“PM&P has worked with Sharon for over seven years. In that time she led us through a complete re-working of our branding, including a new website, collateral, letterhead and report packing and e-marketing templates and brand standards manual. On a daily basis she continues to support our marketing efforts. Her creativity, cheerful personality, attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines makes her an invaluable member of our marketing team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or hire her again and again!”

“Reliable, competent, flexible, accessible, patient, customer service-oriented, and able to produce results on time and within budget… are all attributes that describe what we experienced with Bending Design.

The National Safety Council saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the roads through leadership, research, education and advocacy. We selected Bending Design to work with our Product Development, First Aid, and Marketing departments in applying our new branding direction to the redesign of our NSC First Aid training product line. Sharon and her staff successfully collaborated with us to create a cohesive and impactful look and feel across all of our product components. Working on multiple products and components with aggressive timelines and shelf dates, we appreciate the time, energy, and attention we received from Sharon and her staff in what has been a highly significant and successful effort for the NSC!”

“Sharon and her team have been working with my company for over seven years. In that time, she has created an entire new brand and has successfully maintained that brand along the way. Any new project that we have the team work on is executed properly and finalized in a timely manner. Their work is always top-notch. Never have we worked with a designer that better understands our business and the brand we are presenting to the market.”

KELLY SALVATI

"We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of the project. Bending Design took a complex online user interface and made it engaging and easy to understand. The end product originally intended for our website and as a introduction to the new product has found its way into our sales force as an engaging tool with old and prospective customers. Bending Design really hit it out of the park with their creative and their ability to adapt to our branding standards."

ROBERT WALKER

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

GE CAPITAL, AMERICAS

“The challenge in producing a successful annual report for The Children’s Advocacy Center is to convey the emotional side of healing from child abuse. Our therapists counsel these young children recognizing each survivor’s story and response to the abuse is different and requires an individualized treatment program.

Since we cannot include pictures of our children, we portray the emotional side with words and graphics. Bending Design is highly competent in accomplishing this with their keen graphic eye to selecting colors, style, and editorial content in a succinct way.”

SUSAN REEDQUIST

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

THE CHILDREN’S ADVOCACY CENTER OF NORTH & NORTHWEST COOK COUNTY

“Bending Design brought a fresh perspective and unique approach to our advertising creative. We gave them the themes and they came up with the copy and designs in sketch form. We worked collaboratively on revisions and the end results were ads and messages we are proud to run. Bending Design took the time to understand our style and objectives and that resulted in a rewarding creative experience and excellent finished product. I look forward to working with them on my next project.”

MICHELLE HACHÉ
