I worked with Ann on a number of different web, print, and social media projects for Act One Creative and Carlisle. Ann is funny, kind, and always willing to help others. Her ability to think outside of the box gives her designs a one-of-a-kind look, and her attention to detail is incredible. Ann also has a wonderful passion for teaching and learning, and is always looking to expand her knowledge in the creative field. Ann is a wonderful coworker, a great project manager, and a good friend. I highly recommend Ann for any design team.

For all the years I worked with Ann as a copywriter and content provider for her web and print design projects, I found her to be extraordinarily patient and meticulous in her attention to detail. Ann is an artistically talented designer with an ability to see the big picture and purpose of every piece she works on. No matter how many things she had going on, she was always the go-to person for information about a client or project because she always took detailed notes at meetings, and knew where to find them. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.

I have worked with Ann on many different projects for our company from Web Design to marketing projects. We were always been pleased with the development and design work to the final product. She is great to work with!

Ann is the total package. She combines high-end art, type and design aesthetics with the organization and strategic thinking you’d expect of a seasoned marketing professional. Best of all she truly cares about her craft and it shows in her work. She’s a true pro and a pleasure to work with!

It is hard to pick my favorite reason to work with Ann. Technically, you know you are standing on rock solid ground with her work. Artistically, Ann consistently produces work that reflects the essence of your message even when you haven’t thought of it yourself. Personally, Ann’s integrity, warmth, and support are second to none. Ann is certainly in the right field and I highly recommend her for any size project. Her attention to detail must be mentioned as well. She is thorough, honest, and just a pleasure to work with.

Ann is a very professional creative layout and design person who helped us immeasurably when we hired her to improve our website. She works well with others and is reliable and goes over and above the basic requirements of a job she is working on.

Ann is highly skilled and creative. She was able to take our company mission and direction and create beautiful, stylish, and effective designs for our use. I strongly recommend her work and would hire her again.

Ann is a terrific graphic designer. Her work holds up over time. Some years ago, Ann designed a logo for a small business I started. I continue to compliments on the logo because it ties so well to the company name… terrifically creative!

I had the pleasure of working with Ann for several years when she was Art Director at Act One Creative. Ann is a very talented and creative designer and her attention to detail really sets her apart. She was always able to deliver beautiful designs that fit each customers unique needs. I highly recommend Ann for any design projects.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ann on a number of projects while at EVR Advertising. Ann brings an in-depth understanding of design and the creative process to her work. She has a deep understanding of brand across all media channels and can recognize the design and messaging needed to meet the client’s objectives. She brings an intense level of detail to her work, exploring all options to find the most effective solutions. Ann is an experienced art director, designer and a real team player — and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her.

I’ve worked with Ann in a number of jobs. I also hired her to develop and design my business website. In all my collaborations with Ann, she’s displayed unflagging creativity, a knack for finding hidden solutions to sticky problems, dedication to the quality and visual attractiveness of the finished product, excellent communication skills, warm personality and sense of humor (even under deadline pressure!), and enormous integrity. Ann Kontak is truly a professional’s professional!

Ann and I worked together on several web development projects and it was always a pleasure. Her ability to effectively communicate a project is matched only by her eye for design, blending together to make her truly excellent at what she does. Ann is always looking to further her knowledge and loves learning anything she can about the programming piece of web design, all while also being an excellent teacher whenever somebody needs her help. If I ever need an Art Director or Project Manager in the future, Ann will be my first call.

Ann and I were colleagues at Act One Creative and afterwards I was a client of hers while at the Currier Museum of Art. She designed and created a beautiful exhibition guide when our in-house designer was on maternity leave. She does a great job respecting client direction, while staying true to her artistic ideals.

When you need beautiful design or marketing ideas, Ann is your person. Having worked with Ann on numerous projects, her positive attitude and unique ideas have pushed our campaigns to reach high levels of success, especially with audiences that are hesitant to engage. (Think Millennials or Generation Z.) Ann’s dedication to staying on top of her game has truly influenced those on our team. She was always pushing herself to learn more about the next best strategy or technology and has seemingly mastered them with ease. I’m excited to see how Ann’s current/ future projects progress, as I’m sure they will be executed with her usual creative and strategic efforts.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ann on several projects while working at EVR Advertising. Ann is highly knowledgeable and applies her extensive creative background to develop insightful and beautiful designs for clients, be they a single project or an entire campaign.

Ann’s process is extremely thorough as she moves from strategy and concepts to execution. She brings trust, dedication, and reliability to client relationships. Her ability to pull insights from clients and turn them into powerful visual statements reflecting their brand is a valuable talent. She is able to succinctly relay these insights to team members ensuring everyone is on the same page. Ann is highly organized, budget-oriented and projects will be on-brand and on time. She meets every design challenge with an infectious type of energy making both her team and clients excited about the relationship and resulting work. When it comes time to deliver a presentation, Ann’s quiet confidence leads clients to trust her, the process and the agency. I would recommend that anyone with the chance to work with Ann leap at the opportunity.
