I have been involved with Brenda Richardson for over a decade now on several projects and have always found her creativity & knowledge excellent. Her personality is the bonus, as she is easy to work with and she has always honored my clients with her detailled listening skills. Brenda has a great team of people led by Max, who are also creative to take the concepts to a whole new level. They labor to install the ideas in ways that enhance & confirm the original thoughts. Brenda makes suggestions & recommendations through the process that give me total confidence in my decision to recommend her each time. What a joy to have her on our team. I wouldn’t use anyone else, she’s great. I appreciate the fact that our working relationship, as professional as it is, has also grown into a friendship for life.
