Testimonials

Kathy Amen was so patient, persistent and professional. And, a delight to work with. That's why my book and website look so great. I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime, anywhere!! Thanks Kathy.

Kathy is a resourceful problem-solver with strong decision-making skills, and the ability to accurately assess problems and develop cost-effective solutions. Kathy goes beyond what is expected in every situation and takes her work very seriously. At the same time, she is a delight to work with and a pleasure to be around. I have tremendous respect for her personally and professionally.

Throughout the process of laying out the books, our experience with Kathy was positive, fun, and inspiring. She is creative and professional. She took the time to get to know about our books and our family in order to get a sense of our aesthetic and personalities. Kathy was patient at all times, making the changes we needed to create our books. We are so very proud of how they turned out. Both books have been well received, in large part because Kathy designed them with the reader’s experience in mind.

Throughout my years in Gunnison County since 1968, I have worked with Kathy—during her time on a local newspaper, as the designer for the “Crested Butte Magazine” and as a layout artist at B&B Printers. During her work on my book, she was unfailing in her adherence to deadlines. When I was stuck for a cover photo she went through all of the 100 plus photos and in less than 24 hours, put together a sample cover for me to consider that I ultimately used. You will not be disappointed if you hire Kathy Amen. I highly recommend her for your project.
