Emily has been fantastic helping me with all of my marketing projects I threw at her! I keep changing my mind, and she never complains. Everything she has designed for me is AWESOME!! - Rebecca Gansen, Photography by Becca

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO FREAKIN AMAZING! I got so many compliments on my invitations and programs!!! You were amazing. Very punctual. Fast. Creative. You did great. I love you. - Sarah Kennedy, Bride

Emily is a very wonderful, professional young lady who is willing to accommodate all your needs and wants. Emily’s response to her e-mails are within a days time, and she is very good at letting her customers know how long it will take before she can get samples put together. When she sends out the samples of your desired project she usually has 8-10 different samples for you to look through. Once you find the samples that you like she is very quick at making any adjustments to them that you wish to have. Editing pictures, adjusting colors, and fonts are all very quick and easy changes for Emily. You can never be too picky for her to get just what you want!!!

Emily has now finished up my daughter’s second Birthday invitations and let me just say, they are absolutely by far the cutest invitations I have ever seen!!! Emily does all that she can to please every customer’s wishes. I am a very picky person and I don’t think I have yet challenged her!! She has done such a wonderful job on both sets of birthday invitations for my daughter. I am always very pleased with the work effort she does for me and the variety of samples she has for me to view! I would recommend Expressions by Em to anyone who was looking for this type of work!!! Thank you Emily for all the work you have done for me in the last two years!!! - Denise Olson

The factors that made us choose Expressions by Em for our wedding stationery was that we attended Emily’s wedding and were impressed with the program, etc. We heard that she was starting her own business and decided to give her a try. We were looking for someone to design inexpensive, yet beautiful invitations, programs, and thank you notes for our wedding. The best thing we liked about working with Expressions by Em was the personal service. She was proactive to follow up with us to keep the process going. She also completed the work quickly and with excellent quality. The three biggest benefits I found when working with Emily and the services and products she offers is Emily is very personable, she listens and comes up with great ideas based on your needs and she is very reasonable cost wise.

Emily went above our expectations. We were surprised when she volunteered to address, seal and stamp our wedding invitations for us. She then gave them to us to just put into the mail whenever we were ready. That was a big help to us! Also, we received many complements about our invitations, programs and thank you notes. - Terri Huffman, Bride

Very impressed with the logo and templates Expressions by Em designed for my property management business. I know Em is busy; and I appreciate how she worked with my schedule to get this project done on time and under budget. Looking forward to working with Expressions by Em again soon. - Mark Greenfield ALC, ABR, RE/MAX Real Estate Center

One of the main factors that helped me choose Expressions by Em was professionalism and a creative look for my projects. Emily has a great website that instantly made me trust her work. I have always believed communication and customer service is key in a business. Emily went above and beyond to make sure she was meeting my expectations. She made each project (Christmas Cards and VHS to DVD Conversion) so easy for me. The three biggest benefits I found when working with Emily and the services and products she offers is open communication through email, phone and face to face; creative and professional results; and the price meets or beats competition!

Emily is such a pleasure to do business with. She will communicate with you to make sure you are getting what you truly want. She even will put that extra effort to make your life easier (ie: addressing envelopes saves a ton of time for me).

I will continue to contact Emily for any future business that she can help me with. She takes pride in her work and it shows with the quality in the end result. - Trisha Mentzer

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with Emily's creativity, execution and PATIENCE as she worked with me to create a new web site. I valued her experience and advice and wasn't disappointed! Thanks Em! - Maureen Maloy, Thunder Road Embroidery

Last Spring, I thought it would be fun to record some of my student’s favorite preschool songs and give them the cd as an end of the year gift. Soon after I started, I found that I was in way over my head. I could not find a suitable template for the label anywhere. On a whim, I contacted Expressions by Em. Emily was extremely helpful. Within hours she had sent some samples for me to look at over email. Emily had gone above and beyond anything I could have imagined. With so many great designs, it was very tough to choose my favorite. After making my selection, Emily had them ready within days. Not only was I happy with the finished product, I was shocked when I received the bill. It was a fraction of what I had anticipated. Expressions by Em not only meet my needs, they exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them in the future for all of my graphic needs.

The details were the most important element of Cory and my wedding. Expressions by Em was able to take the ideas in my head and make them a reality by producing high quality design and print. I felt my projects received personal attention to ensure that each piece was exactly what was needed to complete the vision. The service was extraordinary and there was never an issue with any of my requests- even the need for additional seating cards 2 days before the wedding!Although the wedding planning is over for me, I will be using Expressions by Em for all my future design and print needs.

I have done multiple projects with Expressions by Em including Christmas cards, birthday invitations, and multi-photo DVD's. The end product with each was exactly as I’d hoped. My very favorite was my mom’s surprise birthday invitation…the layout, color, and design elements were awesome! Expressions by Em knew exactly what I wanted and presented me with three options to choose from. It was so much fun to work with Em, and I felt like my opinions and ideas were of utmost importance. - Jessica Kies

When I called upon Emily to assist with a baby shower invitation for a co-worker at the Iowa State Athletics Department, I knew to expect Em’s friendliness, helpfulness and enthusiasm. What I received was so much more! I was showered with beautiful examples to choose from, attention to every detail, professionalism, timeliness, great prices and an excellent invitation in the end. I have enjoyed referring my friends and co-workers to Expressions by Em.
- Janet Lovell, ISU Athletics

I was so impressed with all of the designs provided by Expressions by Em. Every piece that was created for our wedding looked beautiful and was done very professionally. The stationery was a true representation of my personality and I appreciated the fact that my opinion mattered. I was very satisfied with everything that was done for us and am excited to do more business with Expressions by Em in the future. - Christie Williams, Bride

I opened up a photography business about the same time Emily opened Expressions by Em. Even though she was busy with her own start up stuff, she helped me out A TON by designing and printing brochures in about a week for my open house. Since then I've gone to her for other design work and she is always efficient and produces amazing work. I would recommend her to anyone!
