“I've been lucky to work with Brenda directly when she was the AIGA Chicago design lead. In fact, when I was President of the Chicago chapter, I asked Brenda to lend her expertise to the org. I have know Brenda for years and knew she could cut through all the red tape of a big org and bring the best, most visually interesting ideas forward. But, its Brenda's gift for people that makes her so great. Brenda is a true creative spirit. She is talented, positive and has the best taste. But, my favorite thing about Brenda is her natural, effortless love for making beautiful things happen.”

Alisa Wolfson, EVP Head of Design / Leo Burnett Chicago

“Brenda’s talent and skill as a designer go well past creating exceptional visual expressions of brand experiences (be they products, services or environments). What sets her apart is her empathy - her ability to go deep into understanding human experiences and manifest them as exceptional design outcomes. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Brenda numerous times and not only has the process been rewarding but clients feel “heard” and literally fall in love with solutions that are on-strategy, memorable and beautiful! “

Jim Cohen, Business Sherpa, Mentor, and Lecturer

“For over 15 years, I’ve worked with Brenda on numerous projects for a variety of clients in multiple industries. I have yet to meet another designer that marries her level of innate talent with hardworking dedication and gracious humility.”

Caroline Lubbers, Founder / Goldfish Consulting, Inc.

“Brenda is a rare find in the service industry. She really listens to what we are looking for, and continually surprises us with her ability to push the envelope. Brenda makes the entire design process fun, and brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every project. She is not afraid to challenge us and to dig deep to ensure she has a full understanding of the essence of our project. When we have a project with Wink Design, we know that our vision will be expressed in everything that is created, and that it will of course, be beautiful!”
