"Working with Samantha Nienow at Red Zest Design has been a breath of fresh air. She took my uninteresting presentation filled with bullet points, quotes and generic graphics and turned it into a stellar presentation that captures the attention of my audiences. Before working with Red Zest Design, I was a bundle of nerves when presenting to a potential client. I found myself getting lost in the business of my slides. However, with Samantha's help, my presentation is now professional and appealing while being succinct. My nerves have gone by the wayside. I now look forward to presenting because I know my audience will have a full understanding of what I do and how it will benefit them. I highly recommend utilizing the expertise of Samantha Nienow at Red Zest Design. It is the best investment you will ever make!"

Northwoods Landscaping & Recreation, Inc.

"Red Zest Design has completed several graphic design projects for us in a very professional manner. Samantha knows how to ask the right questions to develop the right design, right for you and your customers. When we have shown our customers the designs they are extremely impressed and immediately ask who did the design work. We have also had Red Zest Design do our webpage for Northwoods Landscaping & Recreation, Inc. The webpage is striking and represents us well, being one of the best in the landscape industry. Samantha spends the time carefully working with you on every detail making sure it is perfect. Her process can include your whole team in its design and editing process to utilizes everyone's knowledge and abilities in its final design and completion.

Diehl Project Mangement

Samantha (Sam) Meemken professionally and competently guided me through the design and implementation of a professional website for Diehl Project Management, Inc. She is highly focused, self starting, clearly delineated roles and responsibilities, developed timelines and led the meetings.

Sam demonstrated outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, and I was impressed with her attention to detail and timeliness. Her positive attitude, willingness to proactively problem solve, and high integrity contributed to a great experience working together.

Sam responded timely to telephone calls and e-mails. She demonstrated a unique ability to carefully listen to her client's requests, ideas and feedback while also providing thoughtful, professional recommendations.

Sam provided careful attention to budget and schedule and completed the website on budget and on time. The final design solution was creatively completed, and Diehl Project Management's website reflects the goals we set and is working in concert with our marketing strategy and business plan.

Without hesitation, I recommend Sam for other graphic design and presentation design projects.
—Paul B. Diehl, President of Diehl Project Mangement

"I had the privilege of working with Red Zest Design and a BSU student Samantha was mentoring on a project this spring. I wanted marketing pieces (product tags) for two of my eco-friendly products. The challenge was to create marketing pieces that fit my budget, were themselves eco-friendly and had an informative yet whimsical feel. Under Samantha's guidance they conquered all of those challenges and the result was far beyond what I could have imagined or hoped for! I was touched by their enthusiasm for my product and impressed with the attention to detail. I really felt like they took the time to understand my vision. The project was well defined and expectations were clear. It was a professional and wonderfully creative experience. I highly recommend working with Red Zest Design."

"I have been working with Sam professionally for about 4 years and I'm very pleased with her attention to detail and visual content. I always hear good comments about how attractive my ads are when she does a new ad for me. The eight minute presentation that she helped design for me was excellent; she really helped to narrow down the information and make it really easy to understand. I also appreciate her ability to meet deadlines."

"Working with Red Zest Design has been an absolute pleasure. The thorough attention to detail, opportunities for feedback and input, as well as professional insight and suggestions made for a fluent and efficient process.

The final product we received from Red Zest provided a very high level of "wow factor" for our potential clients. It was a wonderful feeling being able to provide a very highly polished and professional front for our consumers. The presentation assisted in creating the excitement we wanted people to feel about our work.

We always had positive responses following our presentations. We were told by a state level official that it was the best presentation she had ever seen! This is coming from a person that is "subjected" to progress reports and presentations all of the time.

We always had great feedback on our presentations. The end product from Red Zest was amazing and it came through in audience responses.

Whenever I hear of individuals needing presentation or graphic design work, I suggest Red Zest Design. I tell them about the wonderful product and professional working experience that Read Zest provides.
