testimonials
"Maria is able to develop unique, creative approaches and effectively
apply them to traditional forms of communication. She goes beyond
typical graphic design - she ensures that the clients stated and unstated
desires are unearthed prior to starting a project and then produces
communications materials that are meaningful, compelling, visually
interesting, and distinctive."

"I have worked with Maria, the principal of Holdren Design, for over
a decade. She continues to inspire creativity, lush design work and
truly original logos and promotional materials even after hundreds
of projects in the last ten years. Maria really listens to her clients and
brings their dreams to reality in a concise, expressive way. I highly
recommend her professional, timely work and challenge her to bring
your organization’s brand identity to the next level."
- John B. Coker, Executive Vice President, AVI Foodsystems, Inc.
"Today, a professional must rely on real talent to support their
business initiatives. Developing a product or service to bring to
market is simply one part of the business plan. Communicating
the offer to the public in a clear succinct manner is essential in
today’s competitive environment. In this area Maria excels. Whatever
your message, she produce images that easily convey your benefits
to the buyer. I find her work to be full of perspective, creative and
"right on the money" supported by the most current market trends
and innovations. I would definitely work with Holdren Design again."
- Brad Smith, Senior Director, Business Development, Sodexho USA
"Holdren Design has consistently generated high quality
brochures and communication tools for Sodexho. I’ve always felt
like the "customer" when it comes to working with this organization,
with no request being considered too large or small. In some
cases the turnaround time on the request has been minimal
and that has not factored in to the end result. I look forward
to a continuing relationship with Maria Holdren and Holdren Design."
