“When I first approached Eye Design Studio, I had only a general idea of what I wanted to accomplish, a simple yet elegant informational website for my consultancy business. Shona asked great questions and listened closely, and her process quickly identified my aesthetic sense, technical needs, and strategic goals. The end result far exceeded my expectations and is a valuable tool in growing my business. I recommend her design services highly."

“Working with Eye Design Studio on many small business projects, the Mendocino Weddings website project, the Mendocino Beauty website project and the J.Perlman R.Lutge Photography blog, was an excellent experience. Shona Lepis clearly understood the marketing direction and focused the design accordingly. She is extremely resourceful and very creative. Her design is fresh and innovative. I highly recommend her for small business lifestyle branding design.

“Shona is the most professional graphic designer with whom I have had the pleasure of collaborating. I was really impressed with how attentively she organized the components of her lush and fitting design. Her attention to detail throughout every stage of the project was second-to-none.

It is refreshing to work with someone whose level of professionalism is as high as hers. I not only recommend her to any and all lifestyle brand boutiques but look forward to my next opportunity to work together with her, as well.."

— Samuel Hulick , Web Developer

“Shona managed to understand what I wanted very quickly; It seemed like we were on the same level into the creation of my website, and that was so important to me. The greatest compliment comes now from my closest friends when they say that the site totally reflects my personality, and this is our common work with Shona.

If a good friend of mine would need a website I would definitely recommend Shona. She is sensitive and stays tuned in to her clients. Thank you, Shona, I hope we’ll keep in touch."

“When we expressed our philosophy and brand for Hoi Moon Marketing to Shona Lepis of Eye Design Studio, Shona took that direction and translated it brilliantly into a Web site design with a look and feel that evoked the spirit and intent of our words. She developed a style guide with a palate of colors, textures, images and font treatments and then provided us with the final design for our site. Her digital and print work is lovely to behold and conveys a high level of professionalism. In addition Shona has a real talent for designing logos and maintaining a consistent overall brand identity that is vital in today's marketplace."

— Jude Lutge, Founder Hoi Moon Marketing


“Working with Shona on the photo blog that she designed proved to be a truly wonderful experience. While the design that Shona created was completely unique and perfect for the client's brand, it was also extremely practical from a web-usability standpoint. Shona's communications were crystal clear, and she was supremely good-natured throughout the entire process. Not one to cut corners and unflinchingly loyal to her client's best interest and overall vision, I can wholeheartedly recommend Shona's services to anyone who is serious about creating an amazing brand. "

Doron Orenstein, Founder and Lead Developer, Magnetic Webworks

“Working with Shona from Eye Design Studio has been great. She has been able to take my existing brand and incorporate new elements that blend seamlessly with the original design. I get the feeling she comes with many years of experience and research in her field, and has offered many tips on how to increase and market my online presence. I highly recommend her!"

— Josh Larsen, Owner Red Bird Remodeling

“Shona brings a breath of fresh air to graphic design! She quickly obtains clarity on who you are and what your needs are, and then she brings forth the most beautiful, elegant and concise design solutions imaginable! I can't wait to work with her again...."

— Rachel Settecase, Owner Märi Studio

"As owners of a restaurant in the destination village of Mendocino, we had a Web presence and it was time to update it. Although most of our business is from loyal repeat customers and word-of-mouth we have found diners search online more frequently before making reservations, especially our out-of-town clientele.

It was very important for us to convey the casual elegance of our chef-owned family restaurant and fine dining in an “old Mendocino” atmosphere. Shona blended this village charm with the sophistication of design that our discerning Bay Area diners expect.

Her design focused the site on our brand values, fresh local cuisine prepared deliciously and served in a garden-like setting. She brought in a team of optimization specialists who helped us create key-word rich optimized Web site copy that perfectly reflects our voice and philosophy.

We are very happy with the new Web site and we will send business her way when someone needs design work or a Web site.”

— Peggy and Jamie Grifith, Owners
955 Ukiah Street Restaurant

"Shona of Eye Design Studio was great to work with. She helped us create a new artisan hand-crafted brand image with a fresh logo and Web site that I feel truly reflects our business in a creative way. We will send business her way when someone needs design work or a Web site. She was very helpful and took the time to show me how to navigate through my site, always making sure that that I understood how to keep my site on top. Thank You Shona!"

— Sonya Houston, Owner Mendocino Weddings & Events

"I greatly enjoyed working with Shona and her team. She took my ideas about redesigning my website and completely brought them to life. Their work exceeded my expectations and the outcome is a beautiful and unique website that I absolutely love.

Shona is extremely creative and knowledgeable about all aspects of design, branding and social media marketing. I learned a lot during the design process and feel my business will benefit in many ways. They are also totally affordable and very much worth the investment.

I would work with Eye Design Studio (and plan to in the future) again and again for any of my web design needs."

—Leeann Molinari, Owner Amalee Boutique

"I have enjoyed a very successful partnership with Shona Lepis and Eye Design Studio for the past six plus years. Her customer focus, tireless work ethic, superior design instincts and attention to detail played an integral role in the rapid growth of our business – from six employees and a single property to four properties and 100 employees. During this time Shona led the design and evolution of our websites to include the integration of many important revenue generating features, such as online reservations for our hotel, restaurant, wine tours, an online auction, customer newsletter and a gift shop. Additionally, she created and maintained a consistent brand image in our printed collateral from brochures to advertisements to in-room materials. I would not hesitate in recommending her services."

—Jed Ayres, Owner MacCallum Properties, Inc.

"I have known Shona's work as a graphic and web designer for almost ten years. She handcrafts her designs for print or online so each is unique, it makes me want to collect them all! Shona is super at custom designed invitations for special events like weddings or parties or for newsletters for businesses that value style and visual impact. She is professional and can always be counted on to make a client look good."
—Julie Vetter, Technology Director Branding Salon

"Working with Shona to establish my first website was a wonderful experience. She went above and beyond what I expected, and made the journey enjoyable. I found her easy to talk to and very helpful in answering all of my questions. She was extremely flexible to my changing thoughts and ideas and gave excellent input and suggestions throughout. There was a bit of hand holding involved since my business is so new, and I could not have been more grateful for it. I knew that having a professional, approachable website would be key and I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I am so happy I chose Shona to create my website."
—Colleen Overman

"Do You Design? We are not designers. This is evident in our sad trudge to the grocery store every December to get holiday cards that say something “original.” Nice try! This year, we’re going to do it right, with artisan holiday cards from Eye Design Studio.

They’re all custom, and all original to you! You’ll work with Eye Design to create your card—or invite, special-occasion stationery, even a website. They take your inspiration and make it a beautiful reality."
