Here are a few of the recommendations for Karen and Katnap Designs & Marketing
“Karen has created numerous graphic design pieces for my Real Estate business from magazine ads,
specialty marketing pieces, and stock cards. Each was artistic, creative, and put forth the kind of
professional image that hit my target market head on. Karen listens to her clients and has always
exceeded my expectations.”

“We have enjoyed and appreciated all the designs for brochures, flyers & pictures for advertisments
in real estate. She has also created a beautiful website for our Child Sponsorship Program for needy
children in Africa. She has always been happy and cheerful and willing to help whenever and
however she could. I could never ask for a better person to deliver the product needed on time even
when we made last minutes changes. We first started working with Karen when she worked on a
local real estate magazine and she was amazing. Then, when she went back to her business full
time, we used her everytime we needed design work of any kind. It is a pleasure to recommend
Karen. She is always full of great ideas and works at a reasonable price for the product. Thank you
for this opportunity to recommend Karen Kroll.”

“I had the privilege of working with Karen Kroll while we were both at Sun Coast Media Group.
Karen was also running her own business at that time. I found Karen's ability to take a concept and
turn it into a fabulous design very impressive; so much so that I became an intern with her
company. Karen is an extremely talented photographer and graphic designer. She has designed
some very complex websites for clients like Bright Cross Animal Hospital and designed and
implemented an electronic email campaign for a national Fortune 500 company. Karen is one of
those talented individuals who is able to bridge the gap between the designer and client with respect
to understanding the clients needs and being able to produce the desired results. I would highly
recommend Karen Kroll to anyone in need of promotional/branded services.”

“I like working with people who say they will deliver a piece of marketing material in a certain time
frame and then exceed it both chronologically and in design. Katnap Designs produces quality - plus
she is accessible and does not off load the work - she does it herself! She should sign her tag line
with: Accountable and timely.”

“Karen is an excellent graphic designer with impeccable skills. Her graphical work is visual delight --
always fresh and modern. She also has a strong grasp of analyzing business data and understanding
the story it must tell. I recommend her for Web and advertising design from conception to final
completion and launch. I also highly recommend her for business report writing and presentation. I
would not hesitate to hire her for any and all graphic needs or any business function that require the
use of both sides of the brain. I truly enjoy working with her.”

“Karen is the most gifted and creative Graphics Designer I have ever had the opportunity to work
with. Over the years, Karen has continued to dazzle us with her design skills, taking just a few
threads of an idea and weaving them into beautiful, finished products (to include the superb
graphics on my latest Java application.) I am especially grateful to Karen for her work with our
family photos. Karen remastered numerous old black and whites for framing and print, but was
"over the top" in restoring several old and badly damaged photos, thus turning them into family
treasures.”

"brand" for my business, and always takes my ideas (even those she receives on the day of
deadlines) and expands them to their maximum potential. She is also a great personality to work
with”

"Karen makes up for other's people lack of creativity! If you want to look good to your clients, you
hire Karen. She created a wonderful weekly newsletter for our finance and accounting consulting
practice. So many of our clients were impressed with our weekly newsletter and it really helped with
our branding efforts in the Phoenix market. Karen is very good at understanding requirements and
delivering a great product! I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a creative service
partner!"
