A few kind words

  • It is so easy working with Trina! She totally got my vision and produced high-quality work that fully represented my brand. I’m so happy with the results and experience!

  • Trina and Blue Yonder Creative helped me design a brand and supporting materials for my business. She guided me through the process by starting with the feel and values of the company, followed by initial drafts, color palettes, and more. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. She allowed time for reflection and ideation and at every stage I was able to give input, make changes, and own the evolution of the design. The finished product brings me joy every time I look at it and speaks so well to the values of my business.

  • Blue Yonder Creative is our go-to for all our graphic design needs. We have worked with Trina on a number of projects – large and small – from our full branding update to brochures, rack cards, and online graphics. We are consistently impressed by the professionalism, creativity, and ability to understand who we are and what we need – and the final products are always stunning! It is so refreshing to work with outstanding people committed to doing great things.

  • Trina in a word – awesome. She is professional, talented, creative and forward thinking. Trina is willing and able to lead a project, at the same time she is collaborative and integrates feedback beautifully into her design work. She has a quiet creative brilliance and brings her own flare and her own voice to projects, while at the same time understanding the importance of brand.

    Dana Hutchings, Co-CEO
    Power To Be

  • In my 20+ years in the industry, Trina’s creativity is one that has always stood out as a strong, natural talent both artistically and strategically. Trina possess a unique ability to approach all creative challenges with enthusiasm and innovation, always delivering beyond expectation.

  • Working with Trina over the past few years has been an absolute pleasure! She has reinvigorated a client’s brand to a level I’ve not seen before. Deliverables are always on time and on point. She simply just ‘gets’ what the client is looking for and often shows the client what they never knew they needed. She’s a game-changer.

  • Thank you very much Trina for the awesome new labels and salad packaging you designed for us. Your artistic eye and understanding of brand impact gave us a product that stood out and allowed our company to pick up three new grocery stores. Our customers were very impressed with the professionalism of the packaging and welcomed them onto their shelves. Thank you for continuing to help us expand our business!

  • It was incredible to work with Trina at Blue Yonder Creative for my community storytelling and ocean conservation event, Celebrate the Coast. Trina was so fast and professional, and her design products exceeded my expectations! Our event was incredibly successful, with record turnout that I largely attribute to her skill at tailoring content to engage and draw in my audiences. Hope to collaborate again with her soon!
