VoxImpact Website Redesign
Executive Presence Coach, Switzerland
“Karin developed my new business website, implementing the styles and layouts proposed by my designer.
The results are great: an attractive, professional, modern, easy-to-navigate and smooth-running website! Karin’s combined expertise in web design and website building was very reassuring to me.
She was responsive to my requests, patient with me changing my mind now and then, and clear in her communication. I can warmly recommend Karin’s services to anyone looking to build or redo their website!”

White-label Graphic Design Services
Work done to assist other designers or agencies with their workload.
“I’m a brand strategy and design specialist who works with entrepreneurs and small business owners to create brand identities, website designs, and digital marketing strategies. I often have various projects overlapping at once, which can become very difficult to manage without some help.
Since working with Karin I’ve been able to hand off some of the more predictable design responsibilities, which has allowed me to focus more on overall client strategy and management.
By working with Karin I’ve been able to take on more clients at once, to accomplish projects faster, and to have more brainpower to put toward the pieces that really need my attention. This has in turn brought in more clients and a greater income, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Karin for her help in achieving this!”

Brand Design for Copywriter
A brand identity design for a freelance copywriter and project manager.
“I have worked with Karin on various designs (from branding, to social media and newsletter templates) and web projects in my capacity as account and project manager. She is very intuitive when it comes to design and matching brands with individuals/companies. I love collaborating with her because she just ‘gets it’ and she has a keen ability to translate complicated briefs into beautiful, uncomplicated designs.
She was also responsible for my personal branding (corporate identity) for Annelie Fouche Freelance, and she just managed to capture my vision so effortlessly.
I highly recommend Karin and love collaborating with her.”

Blog Rebrand
A rebranded identity design for a parenting blog.
“Working with Karin has been a pleasure, she is super professional and the whole creative process was a joy for me. After I’d completed the initial interview process, I knew she was going to create something amazing, because she just GOT me. She put together a mood board that blew my mind! I was beyond excited!
What I loved the most about working with Karin, design skills and intuition aside, was how professional she is in what she presented. When she sent me the final logo’s and brand development yesterday, I literally had everything I needed. My logo’s and images were sent to me in every kind of format and in varying layout designs, along with HTML colour codes so that I can manipulate my brand to work on every kind of platform.”
