"I have been extremely happy with Sara's design work for my practice ever since I first contacted her in August 2006. Her design skills are excellent and her turnaround time is very fast. I feel we have a true collaborative relationship. I definitely plan to hire her for any future design work."

"The Fae Group, Sara in particular, has been so wonderful to work with. I opened my law firm on a short time schedule and Sara was extremely prompt with the proofs for my letterhead, business cards and note cards. We started with nothing more than 'feminine but not girly' and she took that and ran. I love the results and Sara's patience with me through the process. I thought I would be the easiest customer but that turned out not to be the case. Before I began working with Sara I didn't realize that I had a specific style in mind but she was able to work with my comments and suggestions to an end with which I am very pleased. Sara also assisted with and corrected errors made in the printing process - errors that were neither my fault nor hers. I referred a friend of mine who is also opening a law practice and she is also very pleased. The Fae Group is professional, prompt and courteous. I highly recommend The Fae Group and will use them again."

“I am a small business owner in Louisiana. I own and direct Murphy Toerner and Assoicates, Inc., which is a Christian Counseling and Coaching Center. I was introduced to Sara by a friend and associate for whom Sara was working on a business logo. When I saw Sara's work, I was impressed. During our first conversation, I knew immediately that I had found a "jewel" of a person. I needed help with: a business logo, business cards, business letterhead and envelopes (with logo), as well as a new "topper" for my website. Some of the qualities that most impressed my about Sara were: She was pleasant, yet professional. She listened intently to my questions and always considered my input. She was a good communicator (in spite of the limitations of email and the telephone). She is super creative. Her work was eye-catching and it strongly presented my personality while giving the needed information for my business. The logo was a simple yet elegant design. She gave me numerous and diverse designs to choose from. When I expressed personal preferences about colors or other details, she never balked and never got defensive in any way. It was obvious that she wanted me to be completely satisfied with the product. Her prices were completely reasonable and affordable. The turn around time was never an issue during the collaboration process. Lastly, the final products exceeded my expectations in every way. I am so personally and professionally satisfied with Sara's work and The Fae Group that I would never consider going elsewhere for my graphic design needs

I hired Sara to handle the graphic design work for RPC, including redesigning our logo and designing business cards and print ads. Sara created a polished new logo for us, and the ad she created for the Boca Chamber membership magazine was exceptional. One aspect I love about Sara is her ability to listen and ask questions to clarify a client's expectations. She took the conceptual ideas I had for some of RPC's creative work, and she designed every single project with amazing results--exceeding my expectations. She's also fantastic at being able to turn-around creative work within tight deadlines. For small businesses, hiring Sara for graphic design work is a tremendous value. RPC now uses The Fae Group exclusively for all of our graphic design work.

There are so many wonderful things about Sara. She is professional, offers excellent customer service and creates wonderful tools for my business. She has created my logo (two of them), postcards, jpeg files, and so much more. I can't see myself using someone else. She follows through with what she says.

Last night we had a board meeting and I was proud and excited to take our new brochure to share. The board consisting of parents, church members and community members were so excited and impressed to see a brochure that reflected our mission and ideals about children and our school. They felt the brochure was welcoming, aesthetically pleasing and expressed our vision as a cooperative, Christian school. Parents and teachers were delighted with the layout, which included pictures and testimonials from families currently attending our school. They especially loved how you chose the picture of a dad sitting playing drums with the children in circle as the front cover.
The time, effort and personal care you put into our project is quite evident by the quality of the finished project. We are proud to send our brochure to interested parents knowing that it genuinely reflects the level and quality of education, nurturing, and commitment we have for our children. Thank you for conveying in pictures and words that our teachers represent each day with the parents and children at First Baptist.
Most gratefully,
Jackie Straub, Director First Baptist Nursery School (brochure)
Personal Keepsake Testimonials
My experience with Sara of The Fae Group was fabulous. I requested Sara's professional background in graphic design to help me with my wedding invitations. As a bride-to-be, you have a million things that need to be taken care of during this time. The invites start the ball rolling in leading up to one of the most important days of your life.Sara completely lightened the load for me when it came to my invitations! I told her exactly what I was looking for and she took matters into her own hands. The first proof that came through was exactly what I was looking for.
Sara develops the vision for you when you can't seem to find one.
Sara took her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail to a whole new level! She took on the role to catch my guest's attention and now I have asked Sara to catch my customer's attention in developing new menus for my restaurant. Sara works very hard for her customers and takes extreme pride in her projects; which she should.
I couldn't have been any happier and I am very excited to work with Sara in the near future!
Thanks again, Sara!

"I worked with Sara at the Fae Group for my wedding logo and save-the-date magnets. She made the whole process very enjoyable and stress free. Her work is beautiful and I can't wait to mail my save-the-dates out so everyone can see them. I will be working with The Fae Group again in the future."
