Hi there! I’m Caroline.

Recent feedback from a client:

“I reviewed the samples in more detail and you did a really good job! I'm very impressed with the quality and how closely you followed the tech packs given it is our first time working together. They both met all the spec measurements…I also appreciate how responsive you have been, how well you followed the tech pack, how you asked for clarification where you were unsure what seam I meant, and how the final amount was right within the range you estimated.”
