love from past clients

 
  • Ketaki built and designed an incredibly beautiful and professional website for my Women's Empowerment Coaching business with a brand identity and style that conveyed the energy and intention of my work. I'm so happy with what we created together!
    — Alyssa Tennant // Women’s Empowerment Coach
  • I recently worked with Ketaki to rehab, and ultimately replace my old website, along with fresh branding. I am beyond thrilled with the results. Ketaki blew my expectations out of the water, DuckHill Workshop's online presence has never looked better. The logo that she designed for us looks awesome on our new hats too!
    — Ben Finley // DuckHill Workshop
  • I cannot wait for the next project to do with Ketaki! It's been a breath of fresh air working with her! She is spot on with creating graphics to go with my branding and gives it a whole new life. Wonderful!
    — Jamie Reimer // Hands On As We Grow
  • Ketaki has been so easy to work with. It was nice to work with someone that cared about my business as much as I do! I felt so comfortable with working and exchanging ideas. I recommend her for any type of branding or design needs!
    — Teri Ann Marting // Inhale Exhale Pilates & Yoga Studio
  • This summer Ketaki helped breathe new energy into my photo business by creating a fresh new look for my photography brand. Knowing I love wildflowers, outdoor sessions, the colors plum and gray, Ketaki selected elegant fonts, made whimsical hand drawn florals, and a chose a soft gorgeous color palette to create a whimsical new logo and look that completely compliments my style! Thank you for being great to work with Ketaki!
    — Jillian Herrmann // JWebb Art & Photography
  • Ketaki was super easy to work with and turned my project around in just a couple of weeks. I enjoyed the options she provided and her expertise as I start my business. I'm loving my logos, branding, and website!
    — Katie Ceccarini // Endurance Management Coaching
  • I hired Ketaki to refresh my site. As a strategic brand consultant, it was especially important that I got my visual brand right. I couldn’t think of anyone better to work with and have been amazed by the results I’ve seen in just the last two weeks since my new site went live. Ketaki Poyekar nailed every step of the process and continues to make life easy for me as I figure out some of the more nuanced facets of my website. Hire her!
    — Rachel Lightfoot // Catchfoot+Run
  • Ketaki has helped me realize so much of my own vision for Mend through her design work. This design effortlessly portrays a message of relaxation and harmony. I adore the use of simplistic flowers and the inclusion of a very peaceful herb, lavender in the brand she has created for me! Studio K8Ki has made this process a breeze, I couldn't be more excited by the results!
    — Peggy Osmundson // Mend Massage Studio
  • Ketaki has been amazing to work with! She helped me take my greater vision for my brand and bring it to life. She has been so patient with me in the design process and committed to making sure the products delivered are 100%. It’s amazing how she has been able to transform my website from a DIY site to a well-branded embodiment of the work I do with my clients. So much love for Ketaki and I envision us working together for years to come with all my graphic design needs. Thanks, Ketaki!
    — Kira Malone // Mama Manifest
  • Ketaki has been a tremendous creative partner in helping to design Micromacro.gg website and logo design. I only had a vague idea of the theme for what I wanted and she was able to take that and run with it, including thinking of items and pages that I didn’t think of. She is also very open to feedback and change, and was wonderful to work with. Through her unique design approach, she evolved the brand to reflect a more premium look-and-feel, elevating every detail in order to reflect the quality and craftsmanship of our brand.
    — Linda Yuan // Micromacro.gg
  • I basically gave Ketaki a 24x24 sprite and told her to dig into the 80’s video game box art aesthetic — The moody over realized versions of the in-game sprites. I was blown away by what she came back with. After careful research and gathering of reference material, she produced a great representation of that aesthetic and it is one of the most commented on parts of the cabinets. Her work on this has fit so well that I plan to create posters of the two wizards facing off.
