Elissa led a major redesign of our expansive line of frozen lasagnas, leveling up our look, simplifying the customer experience, and increasing sales exponentially. Our original packaging was problematic for us and could be confusing for the customer, but we feared changing it would be a monumental task and didn’t know where to start. Elissa conceived a design solution, assembled a team of vendors, and shepherded the project, from layout to photoshoot to print, offering creative, sensible recommendations along the way to make it happen. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and sales are way up. Elissa’s positive impact on our business has been transformational for our team and our customers. ”

We returned to Elissa Von Letkemann Art & Design again this year to design the logo and branding elements for Salem Film Fest. Her signature design style, enthusiasm for the project, and her willingness to always help with last minute outreach efforts and unplanned design tasks helps keep things running smoothly during what can be a hectic week. Elissa is amazing at what she does and we have been so lucky to have her on the Salem Film Fest team.”

It has been an incredibly positive experience to work with Elissa as a designer. She is so creative and artistic, and her keen eye and design skills have helped me elevate my brand and my business, above and beyond, in ways that I couldn't have predicted. She has a calm demeanor, and listens to her clients' requests and preferences, incorporating them into what she creates, in her own beautiful and clean style. Elissa gets things done. I'm thrilled with the new look and feel of my logo, website, and other branding elements. Thank you Elissa! ”

Our museum website was in dire need of a rebuild. Somewhat neglected, it had been edited and updated by a variety of staff over the years and had become almost unusable. Through research and thoughtful design, Elissa reenvisioned its multi-faceted content, modernizing, simplifying, and beautifying our online presence. The project suffered delays and pivots due to several unforeseen transitions, however Elissa’s flexibility, genuine curiosity, and appreciation for our collection and the greater Morgan State community, allowed us to be nimble and keep the project on track ”

“
We engaged Elissa Von Letkemann Art & Design to create a new logo for our library. Our old logo didn’t tell people who we actually are, but now it communicates our personality and core values. Elissa performed this magic by truly listening to us and asking the perfect questions to help us articulate what we were trying to say. Now, we are proud to use our logo on absolutely everything from the library!”
