I Love My Clients, And They Love Me!

Working with Teresa and Yoka Design is a true pleasure. The process has been efficient, effective, and beautiful. There is no question that Yoka will always be at the top of my list.

CW Jacobson, Paonia Breadworks

Teresa was a superb collaborator in my project. She had great ideas, was responsive to feedback, did what she said she would do and did it quickly, and delivered beautiful work which has garnered many positive comments. I would happily work with her again, and recommend her highly.

John Records, Love in Action

After carefully answering Teresa’s client questions and discussing what I was looking for in a logo… She nailed it!

Dave Knutson, Orion Rising
Working with Yoka Design was what I’d hoped: a guided, yet collaborative and creative process.

The experience was well structured while also being flexible to my needs, and receptive to my feedback along the way.

I would recommend Yoka Design to others and plan to return for further design work in the future.

Mike Thrift, Creative Agrarian
Teresa is awesome! She always exceeds our expectations. Overall, we tend to be a generally hard group to please, but she does such high quality work we always find a great value with her services. I could go on, but we are just BIG fans of her and her work.

Teresa Shishim worked with me for half a year on an extensive project: the design of book covers for a four-volume historical fiction series, and creating print books from my manuscripts. Her book cover designs were not only imaginative and exquisite, they were intuitive in the sense that they were a visual representation of what I could not fully articulate. Performing the exacting task of creating print books, Teresa was meticulous and most understanding when correcting an abundance of unanticipated author errors. Her responses to my messages throughout this process were always exceptionally prompt, well-informed and warmly reassuring.

Judith Slawson King, Heritage Road Books

The initial time estimate was very accurate and the work by Teresa was excellent. I’m looking forward to seeing the results as my new product sells.

Jay Bagley, Rubicon Roasting
Yoka Design’s questionnaire was very useful in helping me understand my own thoughts about what I was looking for. I was impressed by the choices of logo offered to me, which exactly represented the different aspects of my request.

Jody Livo, Ensemble Aceraes
I love that you took my random collection of sample logo ideas and turned them into an expressive logo that works for my website banner, my watermark, and even my business cards. The finished product is perfect for my photography business.

Greg Aitkenhead, Mountain Region Sports

The questions Teresa asked about my business forced me to think about my work and the clients I was trying to reach in a new and helpful light. I appreciated her professionalism, creativity and eye for composition, as well as listening skills. Having worked with clients closely on home design and construction the last 22 years, when I become the client I prefer to find someone good and then get out of her way and let her work and lead me.

Teresa made getting my logo and package design fun! I went into the project feeling like I didn’t know enough about design to end up with something I’d like, but you gave me great material to create the foundation for a perfect product. Since this was beyond what I expected it’s challenging to offer constructive feedback.

Chris Faison

Teresa was professional, kind and got our project completed quickly. We loved her creativity and feel we received exceptional value for what she charged us. We will definitely use her in the future!

Stephanie Neff, Cornerstone Construction

Fresh, energetic design and right on schedule! Teresa totally got what I was trying to accomplish, and her interpretation and execution were spot on. Working with Yoka Design is pure delight! Thank you, Teresa!!!
