Cathy Corcoran of AngelSpheres and Infinite Light Healing

It is with enormous gratitude that I write my thanks to Rachel and Hummingbird Creative Concepts.  From the very beginning, Rachel exhibited a highly perceptive, creative attention to my somewhat unorganized, unformed concept for my business cards and website.  She took all of my wild ideas and created a design that is extraordinarily beautiful and completely reflective of my highest concepts and dreams.

Rachel is a delight to work with, inordinately patient as I dragged my heels, and amazingly responsive with each change that was requested.  She is a highly gifted artist who is also able to maximize the complex and ever-changing technologies necessary to create beautiful designs out of dreams.

I am so grateful to have been connected with her and will happily share my recommendations with anyone and everyone who asks!!!!!

Kim Turcotte of Grow Your Divine Business

I feel absolutely blessed to have found Rachel!  She has helped me to completely re-brand my business and create a professional, fun image that reflects the exact energy I want potential clients to feel when they connect with me for the first time.  When I first decided to work with a graphic designer, it felt like such a BIG, scary step, but Rachel was so easy to work with and showed me what’s possible when you invest in the branding of your business, and I’ve never looked back!

As a graphic designer, Rachel brings so much more to the table than her amazing graphic design skills, for one, she understands the importance of branding and image, especially in the online arena, two, she “gets” marketing and often offers extremely helpful ideas for my marketing materials and perhaps most importantly, has an uncanny intuitive ability to take the vision/story I have in my head and transfer it into amazing images for my business.

Because of my work with Rachel, I have been able to improve my online image and expand my reach, helping more of my ideal clients! I even added her to my Divine Business Resource rolodex and refer her to my clients on a regular basis!  If you’re thinking of hiring her, go ahead and take the leap, you’ll be more than glad you did!  I know I am!

Thanks Rachel for all you do!

Rachel Dunham’s abilities and instincts as a designer are impeccable!  She is equally comfortable “taking on” a project, as well as being a co-creator in one.  Working with her is truly a collaborative effort in which the needs and vision of the client is respected throughout the process.

Greatest among Rachel’s many talents and strengths is her ability to truly listen to a client and transform conversation into a design that is so utterly perfect and appropriate in interpretation.  I have worked with her on several projects and each one, while being my personal vision of what is required, has the imprint of Rachel’s professional, clear and ethical spirit imbedded within, as well as her finely honed artistic sensibilities.

I highly recommend Rachel Dunham and Hummingbird Designs for any project that requires beautiful, memorable designs infused with a warmth and depth of spirit. Rachel is not only a multi-talented designer, she is a lovely person who is wonderful to work with.  She’s simply the best there is!

Keith Buckley and Nancy Conroy of The Oneiki Center for Wellbeing, Inc.

Meeting us where we were, Rachel captured the essence and energy of our vision in just one sitting. We had come to the table with an idea born out of our respective backgrounds and experiences.  Two pieces, a description of color, structure and flow.  Rachel intuitively captured the message and used her creative skills to create something unique and easily recognizable.  Combining the logo and the name was an added bonus.  There is much symbolism contained within the logo and Rachel immediately capturing the energy and the message we were trying to convey.  She gave us several options to choose from, allowing us to mix and match, making subtle changes to look and feel.  From the initial artwork, we have been able to create signs, banners, letterhead and the base of our PowerPoint presentations.  The artwork was easily transferable to our website and on-line newsletter.  It has been also used in marketing material both internally at Oneki and with business partners.

Rachel is very responsive and easy to work with.  More importantly, she has done a wonderful job for some of our business partners as well.  For anyone who is looking to capture something different and unique to them, we highly recommend you consult with Rachel prior to making any final decisions.

Michelle Almedia of Room Makeover Queen

I can’t tell you how much I value the working relationship I have with Rachel.  She really gets into my head and understands completely the direction my I want for my business…  She creates brochures, images, business cards, that are better than I had imagined in my head.

Rachel is so very creative, and she takes the time to make sure that I am satisfied.  If there is anything I need changed… she is very prompt and gets the work done quickly.

For my Room Makeover Queen business, Rachel created a cartoon image of me for my website.  I get compliments on that image all the time…people can’t believe how much it looks like me, and the way it fits with my business image as a whole is incredible.

The logo Rachel created for my Help For Homeowner’s business is  perfect,  its simple and gets the point across, in a very  effective manner.

I love working with Rachel and will consistently use her for all my printing and design needs.

Linda Ward of Kabblistic Life Plan Services

Working with Rachel Dunham has been a “breeze”!  Not only is she talented, perceptive and asks all the right questions but she is very accommodating and quick with feedback.  Her first goal is to assure your happy and she will settle for nothing but that.  I was totally surprised that she was able to capture the essence of who I am, what I like and how to present it. She “dressed” me up beautifully.  I would highly recommend her for any design work you may have in mind.   I promise you, you will be pleasantly surprised with the end results and will look back on the experience as a very pleasant working relationship.

Mary Fontes of A Spiritual Garden

Working with Rachel has been the best of the “Client/Designer” relationship!

For the following reasons I offer this testimony:

  • Rachel listens to what the client likes and what they prefer NOT to have. By painting a picture of the clients’ professional personality, she is able to translate that into art form, free design, text, proportion and visual blend.  She meets the client’s needs, not what she thinks the client needs.  Rachel’s suggestions inevitably are smack on track because she truly understands the client in the first place.
  • She sets deadline goals and delivers. She negotiates on your behalf with other suppliers, and does so effectively and with excellent results.
  • The marketing materials for A Spiritual Garden achieve beauty in color and content because she carries through my spiritual vision onto paper; put simply, this takes talent.  This is true for the rack cards (that were first), the glorious tri-fold brochures, a fabulous PowerPoint presentation (that others in my field couldn’t dream of having), and finally the full color design of a publishable workbook.  All of this was fashioned after the love of my original business cards that were designed long before Rachel and I were professionally associated.  To carry through a theme from a 2 x 3 ½ inch card speaks volumes to her abilities.

Wrap all of this in a delightful, fun and happy individual and you have….Rachel Dunham.
