Wow!!! Design by Tate completed my project for me and I was so pleased with the work. She made my poem come to life with her calligraphy writing. The words written in her style of calligraphy made the poem so heartfelt. It was a stunning work of art. Thank you for taking on my project.

I had a tall order for Alexis. I had a deadline and a specific type of calligraphy I was searching for. She exceeded my expectations in every way. I look forward to working with her again. The entire process from initial correspondence to the Uber drop off with my beautiful place cards was seamless. Thank you Design by Tate & Alexis!

Alexis was so wonderful to work with! She was so fast and went above and beyond to address my save-the-date cards quickly and at a very reasonable rate. Her communication and promptness were wonderful, and the addresses are exactly what I asked for! HIGHLY recommend!

Alexis was able to take our vision and put together the artwork just as we visioned. She was very responsive from day one at communicating. Her customer service was above and beyond and met every expectation. I highly recommend her for any project piece. Thank you again Alexis for everything!!
