Praise
“Colleen Ehrhart has hart, er, heart—that is, she has the heart, mind and spirit to thrive in today’s warp-speed, highly competitive and production-driven workplace. To say her creative skills are diverse would be an understatement, as she is a brilliant designer, illustrator, animator, photographer, writer and more. There are few things Colleen hasn’t mastered yet—and she’s super quick to figure the way out when she’s in unfamiliar territory. I worked with Colleen and witnessed her routinely craft solutions that won awards, as well as clients’ and teammates’ praise, kudos and respect. She would be a valued collaborator and contributor at any professional enterprise. Ultimately, everyone hearts Colleen Ehrhart.”

“Colleen integrated visual elements, themes and concepts while coaching me on the brand guidelines and philosophy. She holistically viewed our onboarding campaign in the context of Lab and created a compelling, artful visual journey for our new joiners. She took the time to understand our nuances, and was patient with changes in direction and input. We have a seamless, impactful campaign which has made tangible impact on our social channels and new hire onboarding.”
