“For the past couple of months, I have had the pleasure of working with Kaytlyn Sanders, who runs beneficial design. We met after I put up a little ad on Craigslist, asking for help. There were numbers of offers. When I met her at my local organic coffee house, I knew within two minutes that she was the right one. Her open eyes, gentle laughter, and keen design sense made me feel comfortable. This website is my baby. I knew I could hand it over to her without fear that she would drop it.
We have been conferring over emails and cups of coffee, laughing at life and becoming friends, in the process. She's lovely. She understood that I wanted a clean, clear look, with plenty of white space, and a readable font (finally!). I had taken this website as far as I could, alone. But now, I know: there’s no need to go it alone anymore.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Kaytlyn. You have made this space feel like my home.”

“And that is how I found Kaytlyn, the dream of a designer who was able to help me whip the [site] into shape.
Kaytlyn came recommended by Shauna, who recently did a spiffy new redesign on Gluten-free Girl.
Kaytlyn was able to translate what I was wanting into a new look, which I love.”

materials, but also deciding on my business focus. She was so wonderful to work with, listening to
the ideas I had and incorporating them into the whole marketing project. Her tenacity is incredible,
and she has the most incredible patience! I highly recommend her!”
