Alicia was an absolute joy to work with. We needed a designer's touch on revising existing client facing documents. She seamlessly stepped in, worked with our existing assets, and put together designs that elevated and streamlined our documents. Our team worked so smoothly with Alicia that we completed multiple small projects before our deadlines. We are excited to work with Alicia again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alicia on a client rebrand where she delivered the visual design and I provided brand strategy and messaging. Alicia is a dream to collaborate with. She’s a brilliant designer with a seamless process who accommodated the client’s tight timelines with on-time delivery and clear communication. She listens closely to her clients and translated their ideas and overall strategic direction into a beautiful, flexible brand identity rich with personality and attention to detail. I loved brainstorming and collaborating with her and am excited for future branding projects together!

I had the best experience working with graphic designer Alicia Carvalho to create my personal brand. I wanted something cool, timeless, minimal and elevated that could both blend well with my art as well as stand on its own. I’ve always been drawn to monograms and I knew Alicia Carvalho would nail it. She created a monogram that includes ALL of my initials. As an artist, I couldn’t recommend more working with a graphic designer to develop a personal brand. Not only because they are experts but because it’s especially hard to be objective and avoid overthinking when working on our own stuff. Having known and followed Alicia for years, I knew I could trust her professionalism, talent and taste. She completely understood what I wanted and created something for me that I am so proud to use, and will be using for years to come. Hiring Alicia to design my brand was hands-down one of the best investments for my career and business. Overall, I was blown away by Alicia's process. The entire experience was incredible and I hope we get to work together again soon!

Our marketing team was looking for a redesign and refresh of our three-year-old magazine to commemorate the company's 20th anniversary.

Alicia was highly recommended by several colleagues in different business areas. After reviewing her portfolio and proposal, I knew she would be a good fit for our magazine project.

She carries a unique blend of strengths that are often very hard to find in a freelancer: creativity AND professionalism. From the details in her proposal to her emails, she is thorough and focussed on the task at hand. With clear communication, clear deadlines, and efficient project management, she kept our project on track.

We were impressed with Alicia’s ability to translate some of our complex requirements into a visually appealing and engaging design. This was exactly what we needed to mark our 20th-anniversary issue with a fresh, modern look.

She demonstrated an incredible ability to understand our brand’s essence and translate it into a visually compelling format.

The most significant improvements resulting from our collaboration with Alicia include a complete transformation of our magazine’s design and reader experience. The fresh look and feel of the magazine have received tons of positive feedback from our global partners. The new design is modern, clean, and visually appealing, greatly enhancing readability and engagement. She even included a magazine-style guide, which allows us to recreate the magazine for future issues and supports our partners in replicating it for their own regions.

Our experience has shown that Alicia brings creativity, competence, and a deep understanding of design principles to the table. Working with Alicia is an investment in quality and excellence and will have a positive impact on your project.

I had the pleasure of working with Alicia on a project to redesign our college's viewbooks. From the start, Alicia impressed us with her professionalism and organization. She kept us informed every step of the way and was always willing to answer any questions we had.

Working with Alicia was a great success. She listened carefully to our needs and goals and translated them into a beautiful design! The new viewbooks are much more visually appealing and easier to read, and they showcase our programs in a more compelling way.

The most significant improvement that resulted from our work together is the overall look and feel of our viewbooks. The new design is much more in line with our new branding and communicates our message clearly and effectively. Alicia's creativity really shines through in her work.

If you're on the fence about working with Alicia, I would highly recommend her. She is a talented and dedicated designer who truly cares about her clients' success.

I wish you all the best, Alicia! 🙂

Alicia is a consummate creative professional. Our firm asked her to tackle designing a promotional industry magazine and the results were exemplary. The expression of our branding in the magazine and design of layouts to showcase the desired content were well thought out and produced in a collaborative manner. Alicia is an organized and prepared partner -- we look forward to working with her on another project again!

When I was referred to Alicia, I was told she was extremely talented, so I had high expectations from the beginning. Let's just say Alicia exceeded those expectations and I'm beyond thrilled with my logo and branding!

She guided me through the discovery process and helped me refine and strengthen my company's brand identity. Alicia asked all the right questions and got my brand from the start! She also kept me updated throughout the design process and stuck to every deadline.

She's creative, talented, organized and a delight to work with. I look forward to working with Alicia again and will refer her to my network at every opportunity.

I was referred by a friend to Alicia in my search for my own rebranding. I was completely stuck figuring out my messaging and coming up with a mark that embodied my shift in markets. Alicia brought a process and creative interpretation that far exceeded my expectations. Her clear direction and thoughtful feedback resulted in efficient progress to our final result. I gained a clarity and confidence within my branding that I can now take forward into the rest of my business. Would highly recommend her for any design needs!
