Hara is simply awesome! She completes every project extremely fast and has one of the most positive attitudes I have come across in my professional career. She has blown us away with her cheerful personality and creative skills. I HIGHLY recommend her work, but more importantly, I recommend her as a professional colleague. She’s the best.

When I first talked to Hara about working together, one of my key questions was: How are your grammar skills? Unlike many designers, she’s very good in this area—which is a huge help when we’re doing endless page revisions on deadline. Of course, that’s still secondary to her terrific design and technical abilities. Together they make her a perfect fit for my team.

Hara Allison has a gift for taking our marketing collateral and elevating it to the next level. As a nonprofit heritage railroad and museum it’s critical our tradeshow booth, brochure and marketing materials stand out. Hara’s graphic design work helped us make an impact in a crowded marketplace. Since she took over our graphic design I regularly get compliments on our brochure and marketing materials. In fact, our ticket sales have nearly doubled and our material is shared more than ever before.

Hara Allison has designed our event program for the last 4 years. Each year she brings us a fresh new design concept, that compliments our overall event theme. Her ability to understand what we need, and design something that totally "Wow's" us each year, is amazing. When people attend our event, they feel as if they have walked into something special, and it starts with the program that Hara designed for us. She is intuitive, fast, professional, and we would be lost without her. Hara is also a wonderful person, and one that you owe it to yourself to know on both a personal and professional level.

HARA is Witty... Out-of-the-box CREATIVE... EASY to work with, and she ALWAYS has Sassy & Fun IDEAS! Hara, "PAINTS" the thoughts that we never had, in PRINT! I think she's an ARTIST.

Hara and STUDIO H have been fantastic for us. We are a startup coffee roasting business and our design work is critical. We went through several graphic designers and continued to get frustrated until someone referred Hara to us. Her rate is very fair, and what’s more she is incredibly responsive and fast. We have continued to give Hara tasks that need a quick turnaround and she always comes through and delivers above and beyond what we expect. The quality of our marketing materials puts us in a great light now when competing against large established companies.

We hired Hara and found her communication exemplary. It was our belief that it would be very difficult to describe artistic elements via email or phone but Hara dispelled those beliefs. The designs she provided us were on point. Her ability to take a concept and bring it to reality is greatly sought after. If you are contemplating on working with Hara, don't waste anymore time. I assure you that you will be pleased. Thank you Hara for creating a presentation package that we now use consistently and have shared with 30 other offices in our region. You Rock!

It’s been three years and we still get “ooooooo”s and “aaaaaahhh”s and “This is a really cool card!”s every time we pull them out (which is every day). And people keep them! – we hear from people at least twice a month who have held on to our card for months before contacting us. Seriously – three years later and your design work is still the best investment (with the highest ROI!) we’ve ever made.

Our organization has had the pleasure of working with Hara of STUDIO H. Hara created nearly all of the promotional material for our event which included our event program, sponsorship invitation, dinner menus, billboard design, etc. She is absolutely wonderful to work with as she never failed to take our preliminary thoughts about our annual theme and turn them into beautiful and creative graphics. Her intuition about what we wanted to convey to the public was uncanny at times. We find her extremely responsive – always providing quick turn-around to meet our deadlines. Additionally, she responds pleasantly to any material additions and changes that we request. Hara exceeded our expectations year after year. We hope to work with her again in the future.

She is one of the most conscientious people I have ever worked with—always on time, always on budget, and always eager to go the extra mile in completing work we send her way. Without hesitation, I would recommend Hara to anyone looking for a creative, smart and easy-to-work-with designer who will add value to the projects entrusted to her.
