Kind Words from Entrepreneurs

We’ve been blessed to work with and coach a number of business owners. Here’s what they’ve had to say…

"We continue to use Oakes Creative for photography and any other marketing needs we have. Crystal and her team are experts at what they do, and it is always a privilege to work with them. As a Native business, Crystal understands our needs and always knocks them out of the park."

"Oakes Creative House was organized, attentive, and friendly throughout the whole process. We had no idea what were were stepping into creating an online academy. And they made it SO easy."

"The way Crystal works with my team and my clients is way above average, and we've worked with a lot of freelancers and subcontractors. She does a great job setting expectations at the beginning of a project, then continues the excellence with her professional and clear communication throughout the process. And we have always been extremely happy with the final product.

I highly recommend working with Crystal and Oakes Creative."

"From logo creation, to graphic design, to product photography, to catalog genius...Crystal has been an invaluable asset to our growing small business. Crystal's positive and professional approach to her work - coupled with her extraordinary creative talent - make her a vital member of our extended team. Not only has Crystal provided world-class photography and design support, but she is also a trusted business advisor to Eat Drink Host. We owe a large part of the success we have been blessed with to Crystal, and I would recommend her to any client!"

"Crystal is an amazing asset to any company needing creative design work. We have been working with her for over eight years and her work is always incredible. She has helped our company with branding, photography, photo editing, graphic design, and much, much more. She is extremely professional and a joy to work with on every level. We just adore her."

“I started my staffing business a few years ago and was ready to move to the next level. So thought I’d start with my website. I looked online for help and had a bad experience with some guy who asked an outrageous price for more than I needed and then hounded me for my business. A friend referred me to Oakes Creative House. Crystal was totally open, honest and listened to what I wanted. She gave me a very reasonable price and made my website represent my values and how I do business. I couldn’t be happier! What I liked most is that Crystal met me where I was, solved my problem and is now helping me look ahead to what I need to do next. Plus, she and her team do all the work, so I can focus on running my business. I now have a marketing partner I can trust.”

"Highly recommend Crystal for any graphic or web design needs. She built our new website from the ground up addressing every need we had for it and more. She had great ideas to help bring more attention to it and did an excellent job creating the content. We came back recently for a rush project and she had it to me in less than 24 hours!"

"I’ve worked with Crystal for almost ten 10 years now at two different companies. The first company was a fairly new fashion brand where we originally hired her for product and lifestyle photography. She really raised the bar for us, so we continued using her services for catalog design, designing our logos, streamlining our social media, and clarifying our brand messaging. She ended up giving our brand a complete and much needed overhaul. Crystal is a hard to find combination of a creative guru and a true business professional who can provide reliable, straightforward advice. If you have any design, photography, marketing, or branding related projects coming up – she’s the one you want on your team. "
