Testimonials

"Marlene's unique perspective and background in art, design and filmmaking fundamentally transformed my thinking about my entire business. That resulted in a killer TEDx presentation she helped me develop and a new website she designed that I absolutely love. Especially valuable was her high-level strategic thinking and the brainstorming we did at the beginning of the process. Time and again I would say, "Wow. I hadn't thought of it that way. That's a great way to go or a great way to communicate what I want to say."

Your creative, inspiring charrette with a representative group of Sanville Institute board members, faculty, and administrators helped us to re-vision our 43-year old organization for a new era of growth and success. I am grateful for your skillful management of a productive and energizing brainstorming session. Your ability to help us see fresh possibilities created a new dynamism in the organization and opened paths that we had not previously considered.

"Marlene is amazing at bringing my thoughts to life with her multidisciplinary skills: design, writing, editing, strategic thinking, project management, research and social media expertise. Besides her many talents, Marlene possesses three of the most important qualities one desires in any business relationship. She asks questions, is a stellar listener, and most importantly, I trust her to represent me to the world in the best possible light."

"Marlene has been a miracle (more then one person in our company has called her that). With her help, we are through the roadblock in our website work. Her talented facilitation, web architect savvy, and sense of design made the work fun, the process smooth, and the outcome meet our demanding standards!"

“Marlene came to me with an idea to do a micro-documentary on why I, and another woman, chose to dedicate so much of our energies to learning and teaching the art of belly dance. She impressed me with her strong and unique ability to manage all aspects of the production. From conception to completion, she produced the story with insight, skill, passion, humor, authority and artistic integrity. I appreciate and respect her keen visual and auditory sense. Her works are works of art themselves."

"The website is both attractive and tells the story of our very complex mission and organization in an engaging and human way—a standard which you insisted on. You were persistent in ensuring that we did the work and that we did it well. Your ability to laugh along with us, as we worked, demonstrates your depth of character and commitment to see the job through to the end. As we flipped and flopped in our vision for what the site should be you stood fast, holding on to a vision quality and clarity."

"Marlene is a highly talented and skilled artist, communicator, and facilitator. She has done an exceptional job managing this project for us, and has gracefully done the "impossible": bridge the technical world with the world of art and beauty. I, and hundreds of others, are eternally indebted to her vision, patience, and healing sense of humor."
