I have dealt with Grand Copy in the past, but Minuteman Press was conveniently located. I opted for Minuteman. I have been working on a memorial service program for my oldest sister who transitioned in February 2025. It has been a challenge for me, with the help from my younger sister, to select the photos. The written obituary was edited numerous times until I was satisfied with the wordings. Carla Sanchez was a tremendous help, and she was pleasant. She was also extremely patient with me. We went through so many hoops to get 77 photos from my gallery folder to their email. She even showed me samples of other people's funeral/memorial service programs. Quite impressive that there was a program for the late Frankie Beverly. The whole process took about 1-1/2 hours to complete the task at hand. I needed 75 copies of the memorial service program. The total cost was about $704. A little pricy. However, I know the quality of the finished product will be memorable and well worth it. Finally. I am thankful for my friend's recommendation and Minuteman Press. The program will be ready about a week before the memorial service.

Artsy Geek

Working with Artsy Geek is one of the best decisions I've ever made, no exaggeration. I worked with…read moreArtsy Geek to build out my business story and brand guidelines, including a "vocabulary," logo, color palette, and value statements. I get complimented all the time on my visual presentation, but more than just that the very act of going through Artsy Geek's brand and self exploration process was integral to my developing a strong business brand that's separate from but true to my personal self. I'm a realtor and I actually loathe self-marketing, so I wanted to work with Jen, Michael, and Becca to find a way to create a distinct professional brand that communicates who I am and what I offer without losing my entire life to what really should be a job with boundaries. Artsy Geek absolutely nailed it; they distilled everything I am and want to be professionally into a handful of core assets, and it legitimately changed how I approach my business. Worth every hour and dollar, they're so good at really hearing you and translating what you say into "product," and they're funny and smart and caring and generally great people to boot. Thank you so much for everything, I'll be back if and when I'm ready for new collateral or if I ever go in a new direction brand-wise!

As a solo entrepreneur, I've had to get by with doing a lot of things myself that I'm no expert in…read more Graphic design has been one of those things. I got by for a while making some simple stuff on my own, or hiring online gigs but nothing ever really looked polished and professional, and there was a noticeable lack of continuity. Since I started working with Artsy Geek, who really took the time to understand my brand, voice, customer, and vision, my whole brand identity has come to life! I've had eye-catching sidewalk and building signs made, luxe door hangers and postcards, clean and crisp print collateral, and outstanding social media graphics that all elevate my studio brand and reflect what my business represents. There's something that goes deeper for me than just having good-looking branding. Every time I see the work that Artsy Geek has done for me, it fills me with a sense of pride in my business and hope for its growth. I feel so confident when I'm able to leverage images that spark and communicate what I love most about my business. Having that attitude helps me stay in the mindset I need to be in as a small business owner.

I love Molly! Hear that? I love working with you Molly!…read more Molly is one of the most fantastic graphic designers I have ever worked with. She is professional, fast, and puts up with you when you have to change something at the last minute. She always works with the printers to ensure you don't have to, and even has an online proofing system, which is so much more efficient. Molly's work is beautiful. She crafted something for our Annual Report that was playful and represented our mission, while still staying adult looking enough for our audience.

She was also transparent and practical about the process every step of the way.
