Testimonials

Andrew Poon, Associate Director, Communication, Fund Development & Delivery, HIM

“Kelly and her design team brought creativity and collaboration to every project, helping us deliver campaigns that resonated and created lasting impact across B.C.”

Monique Janower, Principal / Strategy Consultant, Catapult Strategy

“I’ve partnered with Kelly for nearly a decade, and she’s been a trusted, reliable collaborator on countless digital projects. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to execute high-quality online content make her an invaluable part of my extended marketing team.”

David G. Baumgart, Chief Creative Officer, Gaslamp Games Inc.

”I hired Chestnut Street Pixel Foundry… to create a new corporate website and branding. They are professional, work quickly, and handled additional details… that I had not even thought to ask for; the results were excellent. CSPF clearly takes pride in delivering high quality work for their clients.”

Corey Allan Hawkins, Azimyth

“Great business and work ethic. Nailed the vision and product that I was envisioning. Would definitely use them again.”

Kate Houston, onlineprofilewriter.com

“Previous to hiring Pixel Foundry, I spent thousands on bad design and functionality. I cannot stress how reassuring it was to work with [them]. They’re professional, patient, talented and have integrity.”
