What Our Clients Are Saying

"It is hard for me to believe we have been working with Karen Stevenson of Thumbnail Designs for the past nine years, our business relationship has flourished over that time and has been one of the most rewarding of my professional life.

Karen took over our account in 2011 and came on board by taking the time to assess our existing marketing & advertising, learn our business model and worked with us to determine the necessary steps to identify our target market, increase our market share and grow our business and profitability. Karen has been invaluable in retooling and redesigning our now interactive web site and social media marketing which is constantly evolving and is now our primary advertising medium.

In 2017 we launched a new large scale business and Karen was instrumental from the ground up in every aspect from concept, logo design & branding, signage, website development, social media platforms, press announcements, all print advertising as well as social networking to promote our new venture.

In short, I have a valued and trusted advisor in Karen who is always there to help us evolve, grow and promote our business. I look forward to working together for many years to come."

"I have worked with Karen for many years. In addition to managing a busy restaurant, trying to market, advertise and oversee social media was very difficult to do. Especially being creative and innovative. Karen has taken that role over for us with excellence. Karen is very easy to work with and has brought all our advertising platforms to a much higher level. I would recommend Karen's services to anyone in need of her talents in these areas."

"Karen really took the time to understand the demands of our business and how best to create a website that would meet those needs. The design is clean and timeless, the interface is user-friendly for our customers, and making small updates is a breeze. We’d been floundering with a clunky site for years...should’ve worked with her sooner!"
