She came back with a set of terrific designs to choose from. One of Jenny’s key strengths is that she really listens to the client and is very patient in re-working the design until full satisfaction is achieved. Blue Heron gave us a sharp new professional look."

  • “A company’s logo is an important part of expressing its value, so I wanted to hire the best. After looking at other companies, I knew Blue Heron Design Group was perfect for the job. Jenny Sandrof is highly talented and an infinitely creative designer. She worked collaboratively to understand my company’s core values and brainstormed different brand approaches to evoke those qualities. After a couple discussions, Jenny went to work and came back with a brilliant set of design options. The hardest part was narrowing down the selection from her many wonderful choices – and through that process, Jenny patiently helped guide me towards an amazing end product. Jenny is absolutely fantastic to work with, and I recommend her highly. You are in top-notch hands when you invest in Jenny and Blue Heron Design Group.”

  • “Every year, I turn to Jenny to design CASA’s Annual Report and annual fundraising appeal. Jenny always finds a way to illustrate the “heart” of our organization, and the children we serve, through these projects. Long time supporters of CASA tell us that our report and appeal are head and shoulders above the rest, since Jenny began working with us. As the lead person for these projects, I am also especially grateful to Jenny for her patience with someone like me who has no graphic abilities at all -- but knows a beautiful product when I see it! “

Jenny uses space well - ideas that have worked well for us; matching words and images to convey, compassion, caring, hope, understanding; graphics of actual letters to represent families appreciation for our services. I have been so pleased with the professionalism and timeliness of the work and Blue Heron’s ability to estimate and present high quality professional materials within our budgetary margins."
