L OLIVIER HAWLEY

Design Powers was wonderful to work with and incredibly accommodating to realizing my vision for my brand. They are very creative and actively work to represent clients in the best way possible.

Design Powers are website messaging, design and development ninjas. Their knowledge about what to put on a website and where to put it is strategic and surgical. Incredibly organized too-the only thing I had to do was give them my project photos. They wrote, designed and built my site expertly and efficiently. When I had questions, they had the answers. Even my logo, which I had noodled around with forever, they executed professionally right away. If I'd have known how easy this would be I'd have put up my website years ago! I love my site and feel pride when I can tell potential clients to check out my site to see previous work. Already, I've seen an increase in inquiries and business. All my friends and family love it too! After launch Design Powers trained me on how to add content and photos easily. I'm relieved and excited. Thank you Design Powers!

I came to Design Powers overwhelmed with trying to make a website I would be proud of, but without the necessary skills to achieve it! I definitely came to the right place. Evelyn and Emily took the time to really understand what I was working toward, and more importantly, to really get to know me, so my website would reflect who I am. They were easy to talk to, attentive, professional, and fun. I love my website and I highly recommend them for yours.

Design Powers can turn dreams into reality. I was beyond happy with how working with them went and the final product they delivered to me. I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality work and service. Stop shopping and go with design powers already! i'm glad I did.

Design Powers was incredible to work with on creating my website. There are not enough words to describe my gratitude for the Design Powers team. Their work and thoughtfulness they put into creating my brand went way beyond my expectations. I had been in business for 6 years and had decided to close down my company. About a year later, I decided to reopen and knew a solid website was a necessity. It felt important for the website to represent me and connect with prospective clients. My initial plan was to create the website myself. Thank goodness I came across the Facebook Ad for Design Powers and clicked to schedule the Power Plan. It was one of the best decisions I have made as a business owner. DP listened to my needs and truly understood me and my personality. They created the best website for Stephanie Mitchell Fitness. Design Powers is oriented to small businesses and tailored my website to meet my needs. Not only was the website what I wanted, but the website training was incredibly informative and I feel confident I can manage my website on my own (although, I have so much fun with these ladies, I always want to partner with them). Since the launch of the website in early January, my business has doubled. I get inquiries every week and as I grow, DP has been there to guide me as I learn about new products to help serve me and streamline business practices. This has been an incredible experience.

Evelyn of Design Powers is the ideal business partner for ALL of your graphic design needs. In the last 5 years, Evelyn has done amazing business cards, stationery and gift certificates for me that ALWAYS get a positive response! Her sense of balance, use of color, scale and fonts is always "just right" for my business and media. I recommend her and her design team 110%. She takes the time to understand what you need and delivers it in lightning speed! Don't hesitate to hire her!

I have worked with Evelyn and her team on several projects for Arlington Community Foundation, including a 2019 annual report that was extremely well received by all target audiences. The Design Powers team is responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with, and their designs are always creative and top-notch. I look forward to continuing to work with Design Power and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Beth Rabinowitz

The Evelyn and Emily team did a wonderful job with the revamp of my website. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner.

Shawn Paxton

I can't say enough great things about the Design Powers team. After 17 years in the printing business with little online presence beyond a simple brochure site, our expansion into promotional products distribution and our rebranding needed a complete professional online strategy and launch and that's exactly what Design Powers provided. We're just now getting started announcing our new name and capabilities to the world but just in the first week the positive response has been tremendous! Thank you Design Powers!

Ricardo Ortegon

I highly recommend Design Powers! From the initial call I had with Evelyn to being presented with the final product of my website, Evelyn and Emily were and continue to be extremely professional and responsive, and most important they deliver great work. They took the time to listen and understand my goal and vision for my new business, which I appreciated very much. Launching a new business can be overwhelming, but working with Design Powers put me at ease regarding my website. I felt confident working with them throughout the process, and I am very pleased with the results of my new website!

Amy Graves

I LOVED working with Design Powers. They have a fantastic approach to web design. I won a free welcome page review and they helped me and my business refine the business focus.

Ann Wilson Homes

Working with Evelyn Powers, Design Power, is like working with your best friend! She's incredibly talented, she has fantastic ideas, and her creativity is second to none! I've been working with Evelyn for more than 17 years when she created my logo. Since then, she has created my display and professional ads and taken photos of the team. Her ability to take a brief comment I've made in passing and turn it into precisely what I was looking for but didn't realize it until she shared her ideas! I cannot say enough about Evelyn's professionalism, talent, grace, and style!

Evelyn and Emily gave me the best gift of all - they listened. Narrowing things down and packaging myself up has been very daunting to me . But I immediately felt heard as I talked about the desires and dreams that I have for my business. They ask thoughtful questions leading me into an even deeper inquiry about myself and business direction. I'm looking forward to working with them. Their process is generous, interactive, and respectful. And the best part is they are a lot of fun too! It is great to work with people who are real, have been their themselves as small biz owners and can really relate. Sue H. Yoga fitness teacher

I have worked with many graphic artists and I have a strong background in art and marketing myself, and I will say I have never worked with anyone as talented as Evelyn Powers. She is a true visionary and will bring your business, product, or service to life in ways you could never conceive of on your own. She is a good communicator, responds to requests quickly and produces results fast. I highly recommend Design Powers!

Jill Cruz

Things have really changed since Evelyn and Emily designed my new website! Before the site was boring, bland, and it did not look professional or represent my real message. Now that has all changed. I actually get excited about showing people my website. It is original, unique, interesting, visually appealing, and most importantly, it represents exactly what I want to say to my clients. Actually, I've gotten 2 new clients within a week of changing my site and letting people on my email list know. I think they finally got what I was trying to say! And working with Evelyn and Emily was a pleasure. They really listened to and incorporated my every little detailed nuance without complaint. They were super professional. Turnaround time was super quick!! And the process (which I had been dreading) was amazingly easy and painless. I highly recommend Design Powers!! I think the biggest thing for me was that they took the time to understand my mission and were able to translate that to a beautiful website that I am proud of AND that is increasing my revenue!

Educational Theatre Company (ETC) has been using Design Powers for over 10 years as our go-to for brochure design and logo rebranding. The camp brochure is always eye-catching and they know how to capture the essence of our company. We have always been pleased with the quality of work, promptness, and professionalism that Evelyn has throughout the process. Even this year, when we had to make major cuts to our marketing budget, she volunteered her time to create a camp flyer for us. Evelyn is such a strong part of this community so she knows the best strategies for reaching customers. Their help is invaluable. Plus they are also just super-fun to work with! I highly recommend letting them have a chance to up your company's marketing presence in the community.

Evelyn did a great job designing my logo for Little Falls Mediation when I first started my business 5 years ago. I then used the logo front and center as I built my website and also used it to make my business cards. Evelyn is very creative and I loved working with her. She also made variations of the logo for my various social media accounts. Highly recommend Design Powers!

Sam Rollin

Evelyn is an incredible graphic designer. We have worked with her to format our summer camp brochure for multiple years and every year it is gorgeous and playful. It is also such a great collaborative process. If you have any graphic design needs, definitely use Design Powers!

Evelyn and Emily from Design Powers completely revamped my website and moved it from Wordpress to SquareSpace in a very short amount of time, for a great price. They were lovely to work with - professional, passionate, and prepared. They had great suggestions and design ideas, and were happy to incorporate my ideas and tweaks as well. When they were waiting for me to provide content or input, they did what they could around it so I didn't hold things up. At the beginning of the project, they trained me on how to edit my content. At the end they provided detailed training on editing my content and building blog posts with pictures, SEO guidelines - including a detailed, customized user guide for my website and a blog post checklist. The results are superb - a beautiful, professional web site that is both polished and easy for me to maintain. I couldn't be happier with their work.

Alexandra Suchman

I recently worked with Evelyn and Emily to give a facelift to a few pages on my website. They are both so smart, and creative, and thoughtful - it was fun to work with them and they really took time to listen to my ideas. I especially appreciated the numerous opportunities for me to review their drafts and provide feedback. They clearly go to great lengths to make sure clients are 100% happy with the final product. I will certainly use them again in the future.

Dr. Natasha Ungerer-Dillaman

We had a great experience working with Evelyn and Emily to refresh our website! We were looking for a fresher look, which they delivered in an efficient and capable manner. We especially appreciated how responsive they were to questions, the clear outline of tasks we needed to complete, and their expertise on all things website related. Would highly recommend!

Susan Kalish

I've worked with Design Powers forever. I love their creativity. They are easy to work with and provide great results at a price I can afford.

Becky Cullinan

Working with Evelyn at Design Powers was a fantastic experience. She listened to all of our ideas and made some really great suggestions and helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. She created a few initial designs and a color palette that we loved. We were then able to chose the design we preferred and she worked to perfect the logo in a very collaborative process. In the end we have a logo and color palette that we love and are very proud of! It represents exactly what our business is trying to communicate. I would recommend Evelyn to anyone who is looking for design work. She is creative and fun to work with! Thank you Evelyn!

Sam Joyce

I was debated opening my own company and was in need of a website. I spoke with Design Powers on two occasions and explained my situation. Both Emily and Evelyn gave great advice and were very professional. Their website design and ideas were flawless and they brought up ideas I hadn’t even thought about. They weren’t salesy or pushy which I also appreciated. Their knowledge and expertise put me at ease and helped mold my decision. I 100% recommend them as they can transform your current business or support you as you build your business from the ground up.

Jimmy Powers

Great concepts produced in a timely cost effective solution. My business was branded with the perfect logo. Evelyn and Emily are easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend them.

Maureen Caughran

Design Powers is an excellent graphic design firm. I recently worked with Evelyn and Emily on a project that required them to understand my concept and then use their creativity to bring it to life. Evelyn and Emily surpassed my expectations! They both have great communication and design skills and are extremely easy to work with. And right from the start, they shared in my enthusiasm for the project.

Thanh Cao-Dac

I chose Design Powers to develop a website from scratch for us because of their advertising narratives. As it turned out, my choosing them was right on cue. They are very professional, delivered what they promised and always on-time. In addition, their personnel are personable and easy to work with. I would recommend them for anyone who want the same services without hesitation.

steven mccool

Very creative. Outstanding service.

Maura Fredericks

Evelyn and Emily are two badass designers! Their invaluable guidance confirmed my choice of new typography for my brand. They turned a stressful experience into a fun, educational meeting that put my focus back where it belongs, on building my business. Let Evelyn and Emily work their design magic for you. The best ideas + fun, collaborative team = Design Powers. Thank you, thank you!

Nicholas White

Easily the best website designers that I've worked with.

William Caplan

DesignPowers is an amazing partner in our marketing efforts--and has been for more than 15 years! Evelyn--and now Emily--does incredible work...creative, effective and completely focused on our objectives. Their ability to problem-solve and develop concepts from the ground up are unmatched, in my experience. Their flexible and customer-friendly approach makes working with them a pleasure as well! Highly recommend them for any kind of project, as they stay up-to-date on the latest best practices in print and electronic communications.

Amber Bullock

As an owner of a small interior design business, it is critical that my design service offerings be presented in a visually creative, thoughtful and impactful manner. Prior to working with Design Powers professionals Evelyn and Emily, my old "freebie" website was wholly inadequate - horrible navigation, limited choices for updates, etc. - a poor reflection of my design business success. Design Powers created a new logo, branding approach and website for my business - AElise Designs LLC. I have received positive input from former and present clients regarding its look (navigational flow and placement of graphics and photos), feel (authentic, credible) and tone (emphatic, testimonials and passion for design). I know that the new website will elevate my marketing presence and lead to increased leads for my services. Evelyn took the time needed to better understand what I offer - she critically listened and researched my business sector to inform their approach to building my website. Process wise, working with Design Powers was a solid collaborative endeavor. Kudos to Design Powers for all their great work in creating a website that I'm now proud of - and most importantly will serve my business needs well into the future!

Jennifer Crawford

Two words: Game Changer! Our agency hired Design Powers for a complete website redesign, new logo, and brand refresh. We knew going in that they designed great websites and we got one, and so much more! Their process was not only efficient and professional, but incredibly empowering. This talented and mighty team spent time to get to know our business on every level. They transformed our brand in way that clearly communicates our mission, story, services, and values while completely up leveling our online presence. It feels great to point people to a website we are proud of. This was the BEST investment and an incredible experience!

Susan Kelly

Design Powers gave my brand a refresh and created a new, functional website that received immediate praise from my colleagues and prospective clients. I'm so thankful that Evelyn and Emily could take my abstract design thoughts and create a look/feel/function that fits so well!

Ginnette Harvey

I had a wonderful experience working with Design Powers on the creation of my website harperandgray.com. Evelyn is an extremely talented designer and Emily is a technical wizard. Both are very patient and worked extremely hard to help me bring quite a complex idea to life. They are organized, efficient, professional and put their Customer first. I was thrilled with the finished product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.

Tom Meyer

Quite simply the BEST IN THE BUSINESS. We have entrusted pretty much all our website and design needs to Evelyn and Design Powers. I would give them SIX STARS if I could! Thanks to Evelyn our company just had its best year in its 25-year history.... Thomas K. Meyer, President Condo 1, Inc.

Wine for Winemakers

Honestly, I rarely write reviews but I'm hoping my experience with Design Powers will prompt other businesses who want to be successful to reach out to Evelyn at Design Powers. I had a business idea in my head for over decade and Design Powers turned it into a brand and website that totally reflect my story and what I had envisioned! I finally have the perfect platform to build my authority, describe my travels to little known independent wineries throughout the world and a place to recommend and sell exceptional finds. If you want a thorough, professional working process, extreme attention to detail and an agency that's fun to work with, PUHLEAZ hire Design Powers!

Jones & Rostant

We are extremely happy with our new brand and website. Working with Design Powers was enjoyable as they designed, wrote, and developed our site. They art directed a professional photographer and we LOVE the photos! They created our intro video expertly and quickly. We did the Power Plan and then the Power Launch. Each step of the way was clearly delineated, efficient and thorough. They also taught us to manage our website and set up our Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and LinkedIn business page. Next up content-marketing and blogging! Thank you Evelyn and Emily!

Greg Hamilton

Evelyn redesigned the logo for the Arlington Chamber of Commerce (VA). She worked directly with me, as board chair, our CEO and a task force comprised of several board members. Evelyn was creative, easy to work with and responsive to our needs. Most importantly, we're thrilled with the design and execution. I recommend Evelyn without hesitation.

Anne Vorderbruegge

Design Powers has done great publications work for our Community Foundation over the years--our annual report, an in-depth report on Arlington's nonprofit sector, and quick turnaround smaller pieces. They are accessible, a pleasure to work with, and reasonably priced. Most importantly, they really aim to use their design skills to represent the core messages of their clients.

Michelle Mercurio

I am so glad I worked with Design Powers on my rebrand & new website. Their work is stunning and functional, and they are a responsive and excellent team! After they presented the reveal of my new site, I wrote them this: "I am completely in love my new website. It is EVERYTHING I WISHED FOR and I know it will help my clients see what I can really do for them while showcasing my personality and my convictions." If you're ready to start your business or are ready for an amazing rebrand, hire them for gorgeous visual design and a comprehensive website that works!
