Harvey was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey.

Question How do you judge the quality of a designer? They don’t have a typical résumé like a sales rep. I’m sure there’s more to it than “ooh, I like this website”.

Amazing talent and team player. Working with Lena is refreshing. When we have ideas she listens and incorporates. When we don't know what we want, she can be trusted to come up with a concept that works well. Her pricing is fair. She is our go to designer. Highly recommend.

Ken Harper II

I contacted Lena when I was having some technical problems with a WordPress website. (She was highly recommended, and did not disappoint!) I explained my problems and what I planned to do to fix them. Lena encouraged me, saying that the course I was taking sounded good, and to continue with my research and troubleshooting. And she said she would be glad to help if I found out that I needed it. I got the problems resolved and the WordPress site is working normally again! When I have problems with a Wordpress website again, I know who I will be contacting! Thank you Lena Shore — Print Design, Web Design, Graphic Design, and Illustration!

Alyce Anderson

I used Lena in designing my company logo and she did an amazing job. She provided multiple iterations until we arrived at a product I love. I took her services into setting up a website and she did a great job getting me set up to the point I could take over, but I was most impressed with her organization and clear steps. Non-techy people will love how easy it is to understand what step she is on in the process. Her paperwork and payment procedures are quick and somehow, she makes on-boarding enjoyable.

Lena Shore is the best for website design, hosting, and any such problem your company needs solved. She is so knowledgeable but enjoys adding to her extensive skill set, which is probably why knows so much about her business. Beyond all that, plus her graphic and design talents, she is easy to work with, and delivers projects on time and as promised. You'll love working with Lena.

Lena is so incredibly creative. I gave her what I thought was a good idea for my business logo, but then she came up with something completely original and so much more creative than I could have ever imagines! I would choose to work with Lena again and again, and so should you!

Brian Devera

Owner, Mrs.Bzzz Pest & Termite Solutions

We have been business owners for 25 years. We own a pest control company in Northern New Jersey. I have worked with countless graphic designers over the past 20 years. I look for attention to detail, response time, and professionalism when I start a project with a new vendor. We contacted Lena and discussed our project with her, which was a rebrand of our company image, logo, website, and truck images. From start to finish... detail, response time, and professionalism were all met. The scope of service she provided and timeline of the project completed were all met, and then some. She is extremely easy to work with and has a great personality. We love the final outcome. Thanks Lena for the great work.

Patricia Ponder Got Lucky Communications

Lena has a rare combination of reliable work habits and creative talent. With designers, you usually have to trade one for the other but Lena allows me to please my clients with great work, delivered on time. She has been an essential part of my own business success.

Nancy White Girl Scouts of Gateway Council

Lena is a dream to work with. She interprets her clients' needs and direction efficiently and turns out good, clean concepts every time.

Great web hosting. Good technical support. 24/7 almost.

Kim Sheets

Holding my Bloody Mary up and toasting you - here's to a great woman that I am blessed to have in my life - cheers.

Carolyn Klucha Owner, CK Direct

In designing a website, Lena “gets it”. I can feel confident that when I'm not able to communicate what I need with the correct “lingo”, she can still determine what I'm trying to accomplish and will offer up suggestions on how to meet those objectives.

Kim McDougal Designer, True Focus Group

Lena is a highly-talented graphic designer and artist. The work she has done for me has been very creative and yet professional. She understands my likes and dislikes when she designs marketing materials for me and her understanding of technical issues, software programs, and cross-platform of operating systems is a real asset. She's also fun to work with, you can't beat that combination!

Jeri Millard UNF, US Event Chair

Our organization has been so happy with Lena work. Lena's designs are very creative and original. Unlike many other designers, Lena's don't look like clip art! I like that we can verbally explain what we want and she seems to create the
visual interpretation perfectly! We look forward to working with her for years to come.

Mary B. Harvey Agency a la Carte

Carolyn Bell Audije Designer

Lena is definitely our go-to girl when it comes to web consulting (and any of that “computer-nerd” stuff). I like to think of her as SuperLena!

Jon Anderson Nilo Properties

Lena Shore is one of the most creative graphic artists I know... and having been in the printing industry for 45 years, I know a LOT of them. When I shifted into the real estate business, I had Lena design my web site. She did a superb job, and she furnishes very timely updates and revisions to the site whenever requested. I highly recommend you avail yourself of her talents and services.

Natalie Boren Lullabooks

Working with Lena has revolutionized how I feel about computers and the internet as a whole. Not only did she update me on current technology, but she did it with professionalism, style, grace, and charm. The website she built for me is amazing and working with her was even more amazing. When I was confused and frustrated with “computer stuff” she guided me through my confusion with patience, professionalism, sympathy and a good laugh. Even though my site has been up and running for nearly 6 months, Lena is still available for adjustments and questions. She is always helpful and always fixes my problem in a timely and friendly manner. My website works wonderfully, looks great, and my business is growing like crazy.

Sarah Skinner, DVM Mobile Veterinarian

Lena Shore has done a wonderful job for us - from brochures to business cards to the development of logos. She is prompt and professional and has a beautiful eye for art and the needs of the individual client.

Christy King Print Broker

The great thing for me about working with Lena, is that I can move fast, barely explain what I need and at the same time know in my heart that she will make it all okay. Over and over again
she has created press-ready files that have turned into beautiful products that my clients rave about. Lena helps in keeping me somewhat sane in the crazy world of printing.

Troy Demel Signs Above the Rest, Inc.

Lena has always made time to take care of any size job needed in a very timely matter.
