Working with Trees Cut Stars

Deadline driven with clear communication and within budget. An initial discovery phase helps identify the defining attributes of your project, laying a foundation for the design to grow. The design phase takes that knowledge into concept development and an initial presentation of ideas, followed by revisions and refinements. The production phase provides you with and prepares you to use your new materials.

Happy Campers

“When I first met Eric at an American Marketing Association-Milwaukee event, I knew I found a gem! Not only did Eric have the WordPress experience and knowledge that Green Onion Creative clients need, but his graphic design skills were just what I wanted to continue to expand our services.

Logos, direct mail packages, WEBSITES … I’ve thrown a variety of projects at Eric throughout the years and he has really knocked each one out of the park. Beyond his creative expertise, he is a TRUE PARTNER! We share ideas, approaches, and work TOGETHER to come up with the best solution for the tasks and budgets at hand. It’s why Eric is one of our top resources and continues to work with us today!”

Michele Tonkovitz

Owner, Green Onion Creative

“Eric was a pleasure to work with. He gave us a fantastic design with very little instruction, one that went well beyond our expectations. He was super personable in all of our communications, which has been an issue for us in the past. We’re super happy with the end result and will definitely be going back to Trees Cut Stars as soon as an opportunity arrives.”
