“Chris Collins is by far the best designer I have ever worked with. His artistic vision, harnessed to an amazing ability to transform ideas into a tangible reality on the screen, put him in a class of his own.
He not only takes time to listen and understand, patiently explaining the intricacies of the publishing world, he also inspires and encourages the other members of the creative team to new heights. Working with Chris is an absolute joy, I would recommend him to anyone!”

“When I first started BeautyIntuition.com nearly four years ago, I was already familiar with Chris’ work from another business I was involved in. Chris has since then helped me build BeautyIntuition.com and DecadentBeauty.com into national businesses, selling exclusive beauty and health products found at LA’s hottest celebrity spas and boutiques.
He has been an invaluable asset in the process of building my web businesses from a visual standpoint. More importantly, he significantly shaped the site architecture to optimize the shopping experience, relentlessly making improvements with dedication and attention to detail. I have recommended Chris to several friends and colleagues over the years and all of them have had excellent results.”
Tricia Trimble, President/CEO, BeautyIntuition.com & DecadentBeauty.com

“Chris was recommended by a friend in the beverage industry. I hired him instantly after seeing his work to design the SUTRA brand identity and retail packaging.
Having built several successful brands in the beverage field I usually have a clear idea of what I’m looking for. Chris’ patience to listen and connect deeply with the products’ vision, his ability to communicate clearly and his uncanny talent to create on the spot is why I hired Chris for a second time to build the LightSound line of products. He came through once again 100%, designing the logo, retail packaging and website.
Chris is a world-class marketer and seasoned designer. I will use him again.”
Bill Palmer, CEO LightSound Lab
“Before I met Chris, I had already wasted thousands of dollars (and much time) on other web designers who just didn’t “get” it. After our first converstation, I instantly knew Chris was on the pulse of my brand. Now almost two years later, my website still works for me. Chris did an amazing job. I highly recommend his services.”

“Where would my career be without Chris? I hired him to work on my branding, one sheets and website. I instantly connected with his ability to “tell it like it is” and straightforward approach.
My project took many twists and turns. Chris was there for every one of them and talked me out of my not-so-good ideas and perfected and supported my better ones….and this was probably the most important part of our collaboration: the piece of mind of working with someone with experience in so many different areas of marketing. Thanks Chris!”
Arriane Alexander, Singer/Host
“I recommend Chris to every business owner in my network with a website or product, because of his high-quality designs and skill at advising clients from a marketing perspective as well as a sales creation perspective.
Chris is a truly gifted designer with a remarkable ability to communicate instantly to a target the value of a product through his designs. He understand his client’s product, business, and target, sometimes better than the entrepeneur him or herself. Whether selling a book, CD, software, seminar… whatever… Chris can communicate what your product is and why your buyer would want it.
If you’re looking for clean, effective design, to professionally showcase your value to the world, you should call Chris.”
Julie Patchis, President, Patchis Partners, Inc
“I met Chris during tumultuous times in our business. His creative direction instantly made sense to me. Even more important was his loyalty and ability to navigate around people’s egos and put us (the client) and the project first.
Chris understands that businesses are run by people and I got the sense that he genuinely cares about what’s best for our product and our business. With this approach he has gained our trust. His services can be highly recommended.”
