“Working with Kaytlyn has been a fantastic experience! As a fairly structured individual, I needed a designer who was organized and communicative, and she has those things down—the process was laid out for me at the beginning and my project was finished ahead of schedule. Kaytlyn also quickly understood what I wanted in terms of look & feel and worked with me to develop a color scheme and logo that was both professional and fun! I'm really happy with the final design but when I'm ready for a change, I'll be giving Kaytlyn a call again!”

“For the past couple of months, I have had the pleasure of working with Kaytlyn Sanders, who runs beneficial design. We met after I put up a little ad on Craigslist, asking for help. There were numbers of offers. When I met her at my local organic coffee house, I knew within two minutes that she was the right one. Her open eyes, gentle laughter, and keen design sense made me feel comfortable. This website is my baby. I knew I could hand it over to her without fear that she would drop it.
We have been conferring over emails and cups of coffee, laughing at life and becoming friends, in the process. She's lovely. She understood that I wanted a clean, clear look, with plenty of white space, and a readable font (finally!). I had taken this website as far as I could, alone. But now, I know: there’s no need to go it alone anymore.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Kaytlyn. You have made this space feel like my home.”
