    Arin did all of our marketing materials for LightFull Foods (a Satiety Smoothie company), and she did a stellar job! We constantly got terrific feedback from both retailers and other manufacturers at tradeshows, on how great all of our POS materials looked (she did consumer brochures, sell sheets, shelf channel strips, shelf talkers and danglers, cute buttons, t-shirts, reuseable shopping bags, etc). Her sense of aesthic and design are always spot on.

    I would highly recommend that you hire Arin for any graphics projects you have, large or small, and you will not be disappointed (assuming her plate is not already too full for you!).

    On a different note, she is also an amazing artist (I've got one of her cow block prints in my son's bedroom, and 2 of her mini hummingbird prints on my refrig), and now budding photographer. She has already won a couple cool photo competitions. I love catching glimpses of her new pics on facebook. All in all, she brings a lot of talent and creativity to the table!

    Working with Arin is a dream. She saw us through brand creation, web design, to all manners of marketing collateral, stationery, banners, you name it. She really is a one-stop shop for design.

    The gorgeous, creative, and organized way her brain works makes her the best designer I've worked with in years. I love sitting down to a session with Arin. She's no bullshit, she'll tell you what she thinks. Thing is, she's usually right!

    She's a color geek, class-A designer, marvelous artist. Funny, experienced, motivated. She's in the right line of work. Once you work with her the first time, you'll be referring to her as 'my designer, Arin' from then on out. Why work with anyone else?!

    Arin does great work and is a bit of a renaissance woman. I've been a fan of her art prints for years, both on etsy and at my favorite place ever, Flora Grubb. They're small and whimsical, which makes them perfect for hanging in a group for more impact. I'm a fan of the cow and koi fish motifs, what can I say?

    Of course her talents don't stop at art prints. I smile every time I see her print work for Bi-Rite and the Creamery, 18th St. Wines, and 18 Reasons, all places that are very close to my heart (and stomach).

    No review of Ms. Fishkin's work would be complete without mentioning her design of the Burning Man 2010 ticket or all the work she's done on their calendars and various print pieces. Seriously, those tickets are a work of art!

    Arin is creative, artistic, and most importantly, she's really fun to work with!

    Arin is so awesome to work with. She is one of the few designers i know that will tell you what she really thinks as opposed to letting you try and get away with talking your way out of a great design idea.  

    She understands the relationship between branding and consumer internet and designed the original site and Logos for my company - http://Dogster.com and http://Catster.com.

    As a marketing manager for a small SF business, I've called on Arin for QUITE the range of design projects. Labels for our olive oil jars? Check. Banner designs advertising holiday specials? Check. Stationary design, newsletter templates, and brochure layouts for our various brands? Check.

    The best part of working with Arin is that she's not a pushover. She will give me her opinion without me having to fish for it. She's got a great modern, non-cluttered aesthetic (and is able to apply this alongside the retro look of my own brand). I have utmost confidence in her designer's eye!

    Arin Fishkin is a highly professional, enthusiastic and approachable web designer. She cares about the integrity of the product she puts out and is precise about details. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for one of the best web designers in the U.S. She is a delight to do business with!

    Here's how I feel about working with Arin--I hired her to do one of my company's branding on the strength of her reputation.

    I hired her to do the next on the strength of my experience.

    She gets what you're looking for, even if you don't. And she's as patient as a monk.

    That said, she's strongly opinioned, and has saved me from myself more than once.

    Hire her again? Absolutely. In fact, I already have.

    I love working with Arin. As a copywriter, it's important to work with someone who's creative, collaborative, smart--and a great designer. Arin is all of the above. Whether it's her fine art (photography, printmaking), her logos, website or ads, they all have a lovingly handcrafted feel. So, if that's you approach to your business, your non-profit and your audience, Arin would be the perfect fit. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Always in tune with the latest in EVERYTHING, Arin has  a great, very relevant approach to design. A real pleasure to work with and bounce ideas back and forth.

    Arin is one of a small handful of designers these days whose work is at the highest level of excellence while remaining financially accessible to non-profit organizations. Arin has produced several key projects for my environmental advocacy organization over the past three years, including brochures, calendars and a small-scale website redesign. I can't say enough good things about her! She deeply professional, responsive, patient and of course creative. But most of all, she has an instinctual feel for the issues I work on, which means that from the start, she offers compelling designs that represent our campaigns effectively.  The clean, modern feel of her design work is refreshing and receives substantial notice from our allies. I won't work with anyone else these days!

    I sort of inherited Arin as the "designer on record" at the company where I worked and managed some design projects. That could be a drag with a lesser designer, but with Arin it turned out to be a total blessing. Her top-notch design chops, her winning attitude, and her responsiveness to ever-changing business needs made me feel lucky to have her on our team. I'm no longer with that company (I'm not even in SF, actually) but I'm still looking for an excuse for us to work together again! And that's a compliment if I ever saw one.
