reetings! I'm Donna Gentile, graphic, brand and web designer helping tell stories, develop content and strengthen brands since 1991. I'm excited to put my talent, skills and abilities to work for you!
As an experiment, I asked three friends and colleagues, "What can you count on me for and what am I good for?" Here's what they said: • Quality, attention to detail, brings heart to every project, tenacious in getting the job done, great qualities to lead, does things right and to the nth degree. • Super talented and creative, thoughtful in decision-making, considerate. • Honest, not going to tell people what she "thinks" they want to hear. Take a look at design samples on the pages to follow. Links will take you to more views online so click around. Click the little square grid (upper right) to return to page one where images link back to interior pages. Enjoy, and please contact me to setup a time to meet or talk. Thank you! CONTACT
