"I have worked with student designers at Glyphix on a number of projects. The students bring new ideas and a fresh approach to our projects. They listened to my input, worked within tight timelines and created a solid and effective graphic design for our material. I have always been pleased with the results."
—Aimee Bell
Assistant Director, Marketing
KSU Alumni Association
"Working with the students at Glyphix was an absolute pleasure. They had wonderful ideas and great insight into what would catch the eye of the students we were trying to reach. Their creativity and flexibility were outstanding! When we wanted to make minor changes, they were done in a very timely manner...usually the same day! When we had a last minute 'rush' piece we wanted to do, they were on it in a flash and had it completed and ready to go before our deadline! Overall, I would highly recommend Glyphix to anyone who needs quality work done quickly in the graphic art and design world."
—Becky Shinaberry
Associate Director of Financial Aid
Ashland University
"I was extremely impressed with Glyphix. Their staff kept us on task, exceeded turn-around time, surpassed the intended goal, and helped our organization become a best practice, nationally, in college access. Additionaly, Glyphix was so on-target with the messaging, our event attendance nearly doubled. I would strongly recommend them."
—Greg Guzman
Chairperson
College Goal Sunday
"After working on several projects with the student designers at Glyphix, I have come to take their creativity, professionalism and work ethic for granted. Consistently, the students have transformed my minimalist ideas into beautiful pieces that represent the integrity and purpose of our organization."
—Karen Lazar
Director of Development
Hudson Montessori School
"The best part of using Glyphix designs for our recruiting materials is that I can say to prospective students, “Not only did our students design the brochure you’re holding, but they won an award for it."
—Luett Hanson
Associate Dean
KSU College of Communication
"I can't say enough about the design team with Glyphix. They were knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We have a first class display in our team's locker room thanks to Glyphix and we could not have done it without them."
—Scott Stricklin
