Our clear and consistent communication, coupled with our mastery of production techniques enable us to deliver stellar projects on time and in-budget.

CLIENT STORIES
Bonnie Kirschstein, Managing Director
The Forbes Galleries
...She continues to figure out new and exciting ways to marry the content of a given exhibit with the graphic scheme so that they speak to each other seamlessly.... her managerial skills, in combination with her curatorial background and lovely demeanor make her a true asset to our team.
Dewey Blanton, Communications
National Academy
Johanna is amazingly talented and a joy to work with...She deftly balanced the many competing interests — which included a few artists who fashioned themselves as designers — and created a piece that is at once practical, user-friendly, and accessible.
Susan Chevlowe, Museum Director
Hebrew Home at Riverdale
It was so great to work with you, and thanks for your creativity, patience and amazing effort in bringing the exhibition to life on such an accelerated timeframe.
Carol May, Senior Partner
May+Watkins design
...The designs that Johanna created are artistic, beautiful and appropriate. Each one is a lovely artwork in itself. I could not have asked for more. In addition, they mesh wonderfully with our sculptures. Her files and technical work were perfect...
Sandra Shahinian Leitner
St Vartan Armenian Cathedral
Johanna was so very helpful in coaching our team; we were passionate about our subject matter, but had little experience in curating an exhibition....She also grasped the sacred nature of the project while applying her artistic sensibility...Her skills extend beyond the visual and technical abilities of a designer.
