“Working with Char is like going to a five star restaurant with a world renowned chef. She will present you some of the most unique and exotic flavors that you never even knew would blow your mind as each part of her presentation is so eloquently stated you can’t possibly choose between which course you liked better. everything you see and taste is incredible, she comes up with the most fresh graphics that you always dreamed of but you could never really articulate. She is a true artist just like a professional chef she delivers the meal- knocks your socks off, has you wanting more yet you were completely satisfied with everything that has come on your plate. A true work of art, she is.”

"I had been wanting to rebrand for years and thought it would be so daunting and stressful. I
was so fortunate to have Char Gladden Designs recommended to me. The whole process felt
so natural and organic. She really understood where I was coming from and had so many
beautiful ideas of where I could take my branding too. It definitely propelled me into the next
level. When I see my branding I have a true connection to it and love how it is an integral part of
my jewelry."

"I recently had the beautiful fortune of working with talented designer Char Gladden, in order to
give attention to a brand identity for Juno Pottery for the first time. Char's creative intelligence
and thoughtful sensitivity along the way helped me connect the work that I make with the way in
which I hope for it to grow. Each artful design she presented was the product of careful
exploration which culminated in the truest voice for Juno for this moment in time.
Thank you, Char!"

"As a handcrafted small business owner, my work is very personal to me so
giving away creative control is oftentimes difficult. I did not have to worry at all when
working with Char though. There was an ease and a comfort in knowing that she treated my
branding very much like she would her own. Oftentimes, when I ask why designers decided
on a typography they don’t have a solid answer. “Because it’s pretty” would be the answer
I get most. What I love about Char was that she explained her thought process and mindset
when developing my branding from how she came up with the forms to how she worked the
symbol of my mark. I trusted Char so much I let her loose in working her intuitive design.
I’m so glad I found Char - she’s brilliant."

"Doing a complete rebrand was a big dream for me,
and I feel I was lucky to have found Char. I was very impressed with
Char's thoughtfulness and approach to creating custom and hand-drawn
work for my brand. Not only was it beautiful, but she would tell me
about her references and thorough research. It gave her work so much
meaning, and I loved how you could feel that depth when looking at what
she made. What started as just a rebrand turned into a couple projects
after the fact, Char was there for me and turned in work I am very
proud of."

"Not only is your work beautiful, it is clearly designed with thoughtful care... It's truly reflective of
what we all shared together in our initial meeting. I personally feel seen in the best way, I feel
you understood our client’s POV too, and above all it still feels like you were authentic to
yourself when creating. How you blended everyone's ideas into such a clear direction is
impressive."

"In this process I've had to stop and breathe in that I am truly working with my ideal brand
designer. Your work is so intentional and you infuse such meaning and understanding behind
what you create. It was tough not to have a Pinterest board of only your work. You're truly
unique."

"I sat with the design this weekend and my final thoughts are, design #2 is flawless. I honestly
wouldn’t change anything about it. It feels sophisticated, minimalist, mature, creative, and
somehow has that tangible, imperfect quality with the transparent text laid out effortlessly on the
page. It’s everything and more. I’m so blown away. Thank you."
