“You could not find a more capable or dedicated person than Sara Ring. She is a fantastic graphic designer with an uncanny eye for beauty, balance and functionality in her work. Sara is also very versed in the technical aspects of web design, flash design, and css design. She can give highly technical designs a magnificent level of elegance. She has a “can do” attitude even if the task seems impossible. Sara is very adaptable to new challenges as well. She was a pleasure to work with, and I know that Sara would be a valuable asset to any organization.”
