Testimonials
“Sian worked for us at Beauty Pie for 7 months. She was initially brought on to work on a short-term project but was such an asset to the team that she stayed with us for much longer. Sian is a wonderful addition to any team, really composed, considered, and a wonderful designer. She is great at working with all levels of stakeholders and talks through her work with great elegance and very eloquently.”
— Elly, Beauty Pie
“Working with Sian was such a dream. She was so professional, answered all my questions and made revisions very promptly. The artwork she created for me was very on brand and exactly what I wanted. The process was so smooth and she took on the edits I suggested - truly bringing my vision to life. I would most definitely work with her again as I was so pleased with the final outcome.”
— Francesca, Life Strategy Coach
“I worked closely with Sian on a demanding project, where she showed amazing creativity, diligence and expertise in visual and UX design. Sian came up with inventive ideas and excelled in iterative processes where end-results were unknown until all the pieces came together through teamwork, feedback and revision. She is highly gifted, a warm person, and I was particularly taken by her openness for trying things out. Not only is Sian an excellent visual communicator through her designs, she reads conversations brilliantly and can always come up with smart ways of going forward.”
— Petteri, Bitville
“I've had the pleasure of working with Sian when she worked in Art Director roles at Boden and Not On The High Street. Sian is well organised, highly creative, clear and concise in her briefs to team members, and absolutely wonderful to work with. You can clearly see how passionate she is about her work in her communication, planning and execution. I hope to work with Sian again soon!”
— Katie, Katie Howey Photography
“I had the pleasure of working with Sian during my time at notonthehighstreet, collaborating on several projects. Sian is a talented designer, photographer, artist and brilliantly creative. I was always impressed with her ability to manage multiple projects at once – effortlessly. Not only is she incredibly hard-working but also brought so much fun to the team. Any company would be lucky to have her and I hope to have the chance to work with her again!”
— Niamh, Senior Writer
“I have worked with Sian during my last stint within an e-learning organisation. She is a talented graphic designer who can work on design briefs, including quite technical and challenging ones to create highly engaging static and motion graphics. The fact that she can produce brilliant work with minimal supervision within limited timeframes makes her an asset to any organisation and her excellent communication skills and pleasant personality makes her an invaluable team member who is a joy to work with.”
— Somdotta, Learning & Development Leader
“I worked closely with Sian at notonthehighstreet and can safely say she’s one of the most hard-working, passionate and collaborative people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Give her any brief big or small and she’ll put her absolute all into it (while effortlessly juggling her other projects). Not only that, she’s extremely talented in so many areas. Sometimes annoyingly so! She’s also a kind, funny and lovely person to be around – 100% recommend.”
— Elena, Senior Creative
