We’ve partnered with TSD for over 7 years on all of the design and branding for my nonprofit. They consistently deliver exceptional quality, creativity, and professionalism. What is especially great about TSD is their strategy input and flexibility. They have truly raised the bar for our brand and our professional presence.

My organization has been a happy client of Top Shelf Design since 2016. They have done two comprehensive redesigns of our main site, transitioned us to a more robust content management system, and developed a second site for our conferences. They also maintain the sites and respond swiftly and competently to our many help requests. Gregg Hurson is a master developer: he fixes any problem quickly, suggests practical revisions and is a patient and thorough trainer. When our site was hacked recently, Gregg and his team worked tirelessly day and night to protect us and prevent future attacks. TSD President Kathryn Kiel has been a pleasure to work with as we are developing contracts and special job requests. She is flexible and understanding when it comes to our payment schedule and website needs. I highly recommend Top Shelf Design to any business or organization that wants an engaging, eye-catching and well-functioning website tailored to their needs and audience!
We partnered with Top Shelf on a full website redesign as well as the creation of an incredibly complex, data-driven interactive microsite. Gregg, Kathryn, and their team members are very communicative and great to work with. They addressed our previous website's pain points and created something even better than we had first envisioned.
Kathryn, Monica, and team were extraordinary at helping us overhaul all of our printed Marketing collateral. They are creative, attentive, and responsive. A pleasure to work with and produce a great work product!
