    Health Literacy Solutions Cener

    Review Date: 8 May, 2023
    Christi and Elemental Studio worked hand in hand with us to redesign our portal website, the Health Literacy Solutions Center. Working from initial branding work done by another firm, Christi helped us to think through user needs, utility, and provided a number of design ideas to implement on the site. We were very happy with her work. She is a delight to work with; creative, responsive, and she struck a great balance in knowing what questions to ask, and getting us to the finish line.

    People constantly comment on The Wildling brandthe logo that symbolizes the spark of learning and connection through story, the gold and black color scheme that feels regal, the use of clever illustrations to draw youth into our materials, the website packed full of design punch. All of this is because Christi tells stories with clear vision, intuitiveness, and artistry. We are so grateful.

    Christi just gets it. She quickly understands how to merge the mission with the vision and bring it to life. We are convinced that the branding and design work she has done for The Wildling played a pivotal role in our ability to grow and spread our reach over the past five years.

    Christi is a superstar when it comes to branding and strategy. She used her unique method to get inside my heart and mind to create and deliver my beautiful logo and rebrand. She is also a great human being so working with her was a pleasure.

    Christi and her team were amazing and they delivered on time an amazing brand and a website that represented who we were. Her process is unique but very effective. I have worked with numerous brand strategists, and many of them are indeed very good, but very few of them have the skill set of combining a scientific approach with an artistic one. This ability gives our branding the emotional pull as well as a practical, intuitive and useful interaction with our customers and visitors. Thank you!

    Christi has an uncanny knack for listening to seemingly vague notions and ideas and turning them into visual images that are beyond what I could have imagined myself. Her skill in capturing the imagination and heart of her clients ideas is what makes her designs so special. I would highly recommend Elemental Studios to any company looking to elevate their brand.
