Testimonials:

"I have never worked with anyone with more dedicated attention to detail or commitment to producing quality work than Cole Nielsen. My branding is of course absolutely beautiful, but more importantly, it is completely connected to the core of what I'm trying to do and say with my business as a whole. It's one thing to create design that is quality, design that is beautiful, however, it's something completely different, and vastly more important in today's day and age, to also create something that is relevant. Cole's work finds the perfect blend of beauty and relevance. Working with him was an absolute pleasure, and I have been thrilled by the finished result."

—Natalie Norton, Natalie Norton Photography


"Cole has amazing creativity and an innate design sense. He put up with difficult circumstances with a project and still delivered great results. I'd highly recommend his work."

—Jacob Hoehne, Chief Creative Officer, Issimo Productions


"The graphic of Aung San Suu Kyi that Cole did for US Campaign for Burma was incredibly helpful in building grassroot support for Burma in the US. Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's imprisoned democracy leader and Nobel peace prize winner, is a powerful inspiring figure, the Nelson Mandela of Asia, but in the West there is little knowledge about who she is. Cole's image was one of the first graphics that really helped project Aung San Suu Kyi as the iconic figure she is. Burma activists in the US and internationally used the image in their campaigns. Even still 3 years later, I'm still seeing the image in various unexpected places."

—Thelma Young, Campaign Coordinator, US Campaign for Burma


"Cole has been a key part in two major projects that I have managed, one a large fund-raising event and the other a performance art exhibition. He was able to capture the vision of these perfectly in his design, greatly contributing to their legitimacy and success. Cole was professional, prompt, and dedicated to making sure that his direction fit with my rather particular taste by allowing me to see and give feedback on various drafts along the way. He is endlessly creative, meticulous, and kind, turning a normally stressful task into an enjoyable experience."
