Masterfully reshaped the symphony's website...

Cat's amazing artistic design skills carried over into the brochures and program guides. Working with her was a joy and I would recommend her services to others.

— J.M. Lacey, Former Marketing Director for the Bangor Symphony

Striking, magnetic, conversation-worthy work...

Cat’s work is proof of the powerful effects of visual communication. Our event’s website was sensibly organized and easy to navigate, and projected a contemporary feel... the same visually striking, seamless effect that characterizes her other design work.

— Jacob Frike, Belfast Poet Laureate, 2012

The results are always exceptional....

As someone new to graphic design and printing, I ask a lot of questions and need a fair amount of direction. CSB Digital Design has consistently provided thorough, patient responses, and a clear sense of what my next steps need to be.

— Jenny Beekley, Jenny Bee Designs

Extremely helpful and professional to work with...

CSBDD was very clear about what we needed to provide and what services would be provided.. Within two months we had a site up and running; our site has become a very useful tool for reaching our membership and promoting the Museum.
