      Ted Capatanos's Review Sourced from Google

      When I started Aleana Health in 2025, I was fortunate enough to find Lien Design. Tom Lien, the owner, was easy to work with and produced excellent results. I hired Tom to design the packaging for my new business, and he created a box that I am truly proud to have represent the Aleana Health brand. The quality of his work and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. As my business grew, I hired Tom again to design additional packaging. Once again, I was extremely pleased with the final product. One of the things I appreciated most was working directly with Tom throughout the entire process. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cared about getting the design right. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work, and it showed in the final product. I highly recommend Lien Design to anyone looking for professional packaging or graphic design services.

      I am very grateful that I went with Lien Design for my graphic design needs. Tom has surpassed my expectations with the first project (packaging design) and I'm looking forward to starting on the second project (brochure design). I rarely write reviews but I had to write this one because Tom deserves it. Here are a few things that stood out for me: Very professional and superior quality work, excellent customer service, timely delivery & communication, and very reasonable rates.

      Creative Services Review from Kristie Reed

      I have worked with Jacob Tyler for the past four years starting with a company rebrand and then moving into website development, video development, PowerPoint decks, print brochures and email campaigns. They have done a phenomenal job of understanding our business and really helped us move the needle under our corporate owner, Novartis. I highly recommend this team.

      I've worked with Les and Jacob Tyler since early 2022. Together, we spent more than a year working on the strategic development of our website; they approached our project with patience, understanding, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The entire Jacob Tyler team has been, and continues to be, an excellent creative partner, trusted advisor, and extension of Dempsey's marketing team. I cannot recommend working with them enough.

      Cristin Smith's Review Sourced from Google

      We recently worked with Jacob Tyler Agency on a direct mail campaign, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Their personalized approach, attention to detail, and commitment to understanding our brand’s voice and mission truly set them apart from other creative agencies. The design work was stunning, modern, and perfectly aligned with our holistic health aesthetic. Their team took the time to learn our goals, audience, and messaging, and delivered a mailer that was not only visually beautiful but strategically effective. We’ve already noticed increased engagement and positive feedback from our community. What really stood out was their collaborative process, fast communication, and ability to translate complex ideas into clean, compelling creative. From concept development to print-ready execution, everything felt seamless, professional, and high-quality. If you’re looking for a top-tier branding agency, creative design studio, or marketing partner that delivers high-impact design, strong strategy, and exceptional service, Jacob Tyler is the team you want. Highly recommend for any business seeking elevated brand identity, graphic design, or marketing support.
