Testimonials

"I knew I loved Molly's style when I hired her to take on a couple of branding and logo projects for me, but the skill, nuanced creativity, and professionalism she exhibited throughout the process totally exceeded my already high expectations. Molly is an excellent communicator; she is welcoming and easy to talk to about even the fuzziest ideas. The process of working with her not only gave me wonderful visual elements for my brands, but also helped me see what it is I do with more clarity. If you want to work with a designer who will truly see and hear you and help others do the same, I recommend Molly without hesitation."

"Molly is such a pleasure to work with and brings so much value to our business with branding and graphic design. I’ve worked with Molly since the beginning of Trellis Beauty and will continue to trust her with my vision because she just ‘gets it’. Her ability to listen is impeccable and attention to detail is stellar. I will recommend her services every chance I get, she’s the best!"

"Over the last several months, we've retained Molly to do a light visual rebrand and coordinate all branding and asset creation for our two annual signature events. Simply put, she exceeded expectations on every front. We've received innumerable compliments from our members and event attendees on the renewed, professional look-and-feel of our branding in both print and digital, all thanks to Molly's hard work and vision. She has been a major asset for our organization and I am particularly impressed with her quick response time, consistent ability to meet deadlines, and frequent creative suggestions for additional ways to make our brand shine. I personally enjoy her positive energy and willingness to adapt vision based on feedback. I highly recommend working with Molly and Parson Lane for bespoke branding and design services -- she will truly take your organization to the next level."

"Molly did a fantastic job at helping me develop my personal branding. The branding exercise she developed is comprehensive and asks all the right questions, so I feel like the work delivered was the result of developing a clear understanding of what I’m going for. She was able to flesh out visual branding elements that feel relevant to me personally and professionally, in a beautiful, clean style. I highly recommend Molly and Parson Lane Design Studio for a delightful customer experience, and for a holistic and thorough branding service."
