We have really enjoyed working with Jessica. She is able to pick up on our client’s style quickly [and] has the creativity to design a whole new piece or to make edits to existing art files (which isn’t always easy!). She is available when we need her and can turn around a project in a timely manner. She is a great resource for us to meet the needs of our clients.

Melinda Muller
“Jessica provided three coordinated pieces for a scholarship program alumni reunion – a save the date card, informational/registration brochure, and a retrospective booklet. She was given only general recommendations on size, but no design suggestions at all. She produced coordinated pieces that were visually appealing and accomplished the goals for each piece. She was professional and patient throughout the editing and proofing process.”
Patricia Hand
Jessica is a pleasure to work with! I have been fortunate enough to have her work on several projects for me. Even when I’m not quite sure exactly what I’m looking for, Jessica always comes through with something that totally blows me away and fits my personality and aesthetic to a tee. She is an amazing designer, incredibly personable, and I have been more than satisfied with her amazing results. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Grace Stufkosky
Jessica agreed to work pro-bono for the American Heart Association Gala committee. This is the first indication of her work ethic; genuine. Although we gave Jessica an idea of our vision, she listened, took notes and ultimately created the most captivating artwork that was a perfect fit for our event. She takes great pride in her work, remains on schedule and is the easiest person to communicate with via e-mail.... The best part is when you meet her in person; Jessica’s natural effervescence is that which transcends into her artwork. We are most fortunate to have Jessica on our team! I would highly recommend Jessica Mundt for a diverse scope of projects and challenges. She is professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with.
Stephanie Rex
Jessica has been a pleasure to work with over the course of the past year. I found her exceptional skills while one day browsing through the Etsy website. I sent her an email describing my wishes and through solely using email correspondence, Jessica created a fun and fresh representing new logo. In addition, she also redesigned my business card, designed earring card displays, and display hang tags for my jewelry. Throughout the whole process, Jessica was patient and very personable. The customer experience I received was impeccable. She had the ability to take my vision and create exactly what I had in mind; that in it self is amazing. She is a true artist and takes the time to understand her clientele. Superb work Jessica. Thank you once again!
Carolyne Huber
Thank you so much for the time and care you took in designing my logo. You gave me so much to choose from, as well as taking my input and letting me see how the different logos would look with the changes I wanted. It was difficult deciding, but I’m so happy with what I decided on! It is perfect to use for all of my businesses – and I really wanted something that was interchangeable, whether it was for my greeting card designs or my accounting and consulting business. You do great work! I also really LOVE the business cards you designed with my new logo! They are striking and eye catching!
Laurie Moe
I have worked with Jessica on several projects over the last few years and I have never been disappointed. She is able to take my thoughts on what I want and transform them to reality in a very creative way. Not only is she creative but Jessica also delivers her work on time and in a quality manner. I would highly recommend her. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.
Patricia Reaburn
Jessica has helped me out so many times in so many ways. Being in the real estate business I never know when I’m going to need professional pictures, layouts, or booklets. In the two years I’ve worked with her she has always been willing and ready to produce what I need in a very short time frame. Jessica is very talented, professional, extremely creative, and a delight to work with. My clients have always been impressed with her work.
Sara Vancura
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so very much for the ad. It is FANTASTIC!!! I could not have asked for a better job. And you did this in such a short time as well.
