Hadley is stellar with her communication and organization. I found her notes at each stage to be super helpful, whether they were about her design choices, things she was flagging for us to keep an eye on, questions, or general notes about where the project started, its current stage, and next steps. Hadley's clear communication helps close any gaps that can happen when working remotely and makes it easier for me to manage the project. She is very thoughtful with her work and brings great technical knowledge to the table. It is a pleasure to work with her!

Hadley is hands-down the most organized person I've ever worked with, and her design skills are top notch. I was not expecting a detailed PowerPoint-style layout of the project timeline, but it was delightful!

Hadley exceeded our expectations through her professionalism, promptness, and thoroughness, especially in the face of a growing challenging project. I appreciated how transparent she was with us, as well as her ability to make the nuances of web development, WordPress, Stripe, hosting, etc. accessible and understandable to us.

Her bold design impulses and willingness to take on a growth project, as well as her commitment to small press publishers, made her a stand out candidate. Having met face-to-face at AWP and connecting there was a special bonus for us as a press that values relationality.

Hadley is prompt and responsive, proactively communicating updates, changes to thinking and workflow, and question asking. Because Spout isn't my day job, I appreciated the flexibility to use Hadley’s calendar to book times with her as my schedule changed. Invoices, client portal, etc. were very clear and user-friendly.

As a result, we now have a stellar website that I am proud to advertise and will make our operations more sustainable in the long run. Thank you!!

Hadley is SO organized and efficient! And the client portal really is a fantastic tool. We've never worked with a more professional designer. Every step was outlined clearly and follow through impeccable and the fact that she was willing to work with the author directly meant there were no middlemen, so to speak. Thank you!

Hadley Hendrix is creative, communicative, accommodating, and professional at each step of the design process. I appreciated the mood boards she assembled for us, and the thoughtful annotations she provided with each design option. I appreciated that she was able to work from, and adjust to, multiple streams of input and feedback—from her own response to the text, my initial editorial brief, and the author's reaction to the proposed designs—all of which culminated in a final design that works beautifully for the book.
