Testimonials
Over the past few years, I've collaborated with Ana on several freelance graphic design projects. She is an excellent designer, friendly and organized. Ana is hardworking and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that her clients are satisfied with her work. She is an exceptional communicator, proactive in addressing any questions or concerns and is always quick to respond. I highly recommend hiring her!
Alyssa Vertin
Graphic Designer
I am pleased to recommend Ana Knoles, my coworker at the 355th Force Support Squadron Marketing Department, for her exceptional skills in graphic design and her outstanding personality.
Ana is an expert in her field, consistently delivering high-quality work that exceeds expectations. She had a careful eye and teaches me things in marketing daily! Her creativity and attention to detail are evident in every project she undertakes, and her designs always capture the essence of the message we want to convey.
Working with Ana is a true pleasure. She is a team player who always makes sure everyone is included and heard. Her positive attitude and approachable demeanor make her an awesome colleague to be around, and she never fails to bring a smile to our faces.
Overall, I have no doubt that Ana's skills and personality make her an asset to any organization. It has been a pleasure working with her, and I highly recommend her for any position.
Mikyla Caylor-Kay
Marketing Specialist
It has been my pleasure to have had Ana on my team here at RAF Lakenheath, both as a designer and as an individual. She is incredibly talented in the area of design, possessing the ability to adapt her personal style to fit the needs of her clients. Ana was my go-to designer for our Wing and Commander projects, and always seemed to produce a project that looked better than leadership had envisioned. She maintained a reputation for efficient, professional, eye-catching work across our squadron, and was often requested by name for projects across facilities.
She is thoroughly organized, and always willing to step in to provide guidance to our junior designers. I think what makes her so unique is that she is not only an incredibly strong designer, she also has a way with words. Her attention to written detail and ability to both write and edit text is a skill that our whole office benefited from.
In addition to her skill as a designer, she also has a kind and professional disposition that puts people at ease. She kept our office laughing with her puns, but on track with her drive. She was always looking to take on new challenges and build upon her skills through classes and projects.
Her impact here will remain for years to come.
Kelly Naranja
Marketing Director
Ana is a bubbly, highly-skilled & knowledgeable graphic and web designer. We worked side by side as Visual Information Specialists for the Air Force in England. She is a motivated and focused designer that works fantastically on her own and especially well on a team. She is patient and a great communicator. She is very valuable as a colleague and as a mentor for younger designers to learn from. Ana was a graphic designer & our webmaster and is very skilled with all things web design, as it is a passion of hers both professionally and personally. She is a diligent hard worker, who knows how to manage her time well and meet deadlines with ease. She works well under pressure and always comes through with a great product, even in a pinch.
I am so eager to recommend Ana for any graphic or web design position, in both marketing, communications, and as an overqualified free-lancer. Her design style is fresh and clean, her skill set is of the highest level, and her personality is warm and professional.
Alicia Meiers
Project Manager
Ana is one of the hardest workers out there. She is conscientious, diligent, and meets all of her deadlines. I recommend her for any job she seeks, she will always succeed. She’s a great designer and can handle whatever task you give her.
