 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kit and the team at New Media Design have been awesome to work with. They’ve helped me across web design, hosting, brand identity, events, and facilitation — basically covering everything I’ve needed to manage multiple brands. What really stands out is how responsive Kit is. Quick to jump in, add value as things come up, which makes everything feel easy and well taken care of. Highly recommend if you want someone reliable who can actually do the full range of web, brand, and strategy work without the drama.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really didn't know where to begin with my new start up online business and I had zero experience. Kit was incredible, taking me through the entire process from logo to launch. Kit's kills and clarity are exceptional. I now feel equipped and ready to take the next steps with a marketing strategy and I'm excited and confident with Kit at the helm it will be perfectly aligned with my goals and vision. If you need help with your business, Kit is your best asset.

Kit listened very carefully to everything I wanted, responded immediately to suggestions on the initial drafts and was very helpful to training me to make my own updates. Highly recommended.
