Accolades from Clients and Co-workers:
Barb is one of the most exacting designers I have ever worked with. She has an amazing knowledge of typography and creates some of the cleanest designs you can imagine. I wholeheartedly endorse her and her services. You won't be disappointed!

In the three years I’ve been Art Director of Encore Media Group/City Arts magazine I have found few designers as skilled and resourceful as Barb. I know of no one who is more reliable and pleasant to work with. Barb is a person who combines creativity, intelligence and attention to detail. She is a problem solver like no other. I relied on Barb again and again, especially when a deadline fell short of impossible. There were multiple logistically daunting a projects that would never have been completed without her. It was her work that was responsible for the 2008 SIFF catalog winning a much deserved International Livre d'Or Award*. I recommend Barb without reservation as designer, production guru and all around one-who-can-get-it-done. She will quickly analyze and understand your needs and do a first-rate job. She’s very fast and always accurate—all you’re looking for and more.

I had the pleasure of working with Barb Levy on several larger-scale projects at Encore Media Group. Barb is very detail oriented, thorough, concise, and technically savvy. I have seen first-hand how she uses her knowledge, humor, and creativity to effectively collaborate on and complete projects that encompass input from many different sources. Barb is organized, smart, dedicated, and has this unique ability to see The Big Picture and carry it through. She's truly a gem!

We have worked with Barb for more than ten years. She has created our annual print catalog and that of other stores in the Episcopal Booksellers Association. Always, always Barb is on task, and on time. With her creative gift, she will suggest ideas and let us make the decisions. Stepping Stone Graphics is an outstanding business to work with.

Barb is great! It had been a while since our companies had connected and she responded to my requests quickly and was able to get us what we needed, when we needed it. I appreciate not only her responsiveness, but also her quality of work.
Renee Porter, Account Supervisor
Golden Lasso
I really enjoyed working with Barb on several projects. She is a very skilled worker who has the ability to work with clients, present to clients, as well as take on multiple tasks in print, web design, and visual standardization, while achieving results. Because of our large volume of work and our event driven deadlines, Barb’s biggest asset to our company was doing quality work in a short amount of time. She was comfortable and driven when working independently, yet flexible working within the diversity of our skilled professional team.
