"It's art but it represents our mission."

“As a professional fundraiser I have seen many donor-recognition systems! I can honestly say that of all those I've commissioned and of all I've seen, Nina's recognition designs are second to none in their functionality, their beauty, and in their expression of the organizations' individual missions. Nina consistently generates donor walls that are not only unique, but that are easy to read and organized in such a way that various ‘giving levels’ are made clear. And while the highest-level donors are undeniably featured on the donor wall, she manages to do so without in any way diminishing the lowest-level donors.”

“Nina is a bright and talented artist. We appreciated her taking the time to host a workshop for our homeless shelter children and incorporate their designs into the artwork for our Donor Wall. The children and donors alike were delighted with the result, and we have heard many positive comments about her work and how well it flows with the rest of the campus.”
Torrie Taj, former Deputy CEO A New Leaf, Current CEO Child Crisis Nursery, Phoenix, AZ
“Nina's donor recognition work is breathtaking. The donor wall she created for the Jewish History Museum stops everyone who walks in the front door of the museum. Her recognition work helps us raise money on an ongoing basis because tiles can be added as we receive donations.”
Eileen Warshaw *deceased, Executive Director
Jewish History Museum, Tucson, AZ
“Working with Nina on our capital campaign recognition was a delight. She is professional, efficient and creative. The finished donor wall art piece wins kudos from all who see it and has proven to be well worth the investment.”
Sandra Jorgensen, Capital Campaign Director

“Donors want you to personally acknowledge them for who they are and what they contribute. Nina provides a reasonable, creative, unique way for you to customize your donor recognition gifts. You can stop trying to fit donors into your organizational system and begin choosing distinctive, imaginative tools that fit your donors!”
Brian Bateman, Consultant, Alexander | Carillo Consulting
“Nina is an absolute pleasure to work with! She creates interesting pieces by infusing her artistic creativity into each donor recognition project. The feedback we get from donors and employees about her tile work is overwhelmingly positive. I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future! ”
Stephanie Patryla, Development Associate, Office of Philanthropy & Public Relations
Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, CA
“Nina's donor recognition design with tiered giving levels and the ability to add names on an ongoing basis has reinvigorated our donor giving. We have seen a marked increase in giving. Nina is a fabulous designer. Her puzzle piece donor wall design is perfect for adding more tile panels as needed.”
