Sophie Seddon – Sophie Seddon PR
(Client - Custom website illustrations)
“I had the pleasure of working with Katie for illustrations for my business, Sophie Seddon PR. Her professionalism, care, and attention to detail were outstanding. She took the time to truly understand me and my brand, capturing the essence of my business with beautiful, personalised illustrations – a typewriter with my company strapline 'Said and Done,' a nurturing hand with a plant illustrating new business growth, and even my shorthand notes. Katie is someone you can trust completely. She listens, understands, and brings ideas to life with exceptional artistry and attention to detail. Highly recommended.”
June McLean – Secretary of Honley Business Association
(Client and point of contact for the community project map commission)
“Katie Walden undertook to produce a map of our village, Honley, to include iconic buildings or features of our village and Katie did a super job. The map was to highlight all the business members of Honley Business Association and Katie completed the project within the timeframe given with great diligence and a super result.
I would not hesitate to use her again on any project that needed great design and her artistic talents.
In fact, as I also own a shop within the village, I have already ordered some of Katie’s cards to sell in the shop.”
Steve Hemming – Honley Village Community Trust
(Client and point of contact for the woodland map commission)
“We commissioned Katie to produce a map of Magdale Fields, an area of green space owned by Honley Village Community Trust CIO. Katie’s communication with us was excellent at every stage. She obtained information from us about the area and the detail we wanted to include in the map. We were able to comment on drafts and Katie responded to these with amendments in good time until we arrived at a final version. Her incorporation into the design of key features and wildlife demonstrated her creative talent. We were very pleased with the result of her work.”
Carole – Owner of Utterly Yorkshire
(Card and print stockist - Utterly Yorkshire, 347b Wakefield Road, Denby Dale, West Yorkshire)
“Here in Denby Dale you are one of our most popular artists and customers love your work. Since stocking your amazing artwork, you have adapted and grown your range of "products". Your prints are unique, initially producing "fabric prints" and "watercolour" across a theme of local landmarks. These remain popular in both framed items and gift cards.
It was great working with you to produce a collage of our local landmarks. What started as a simple suggestion quickly turned into another piece of artwork and I am thrilled to say I overheard a customer remarking on your framed collage only this week. She adored it and I love sharing these stories with you! It makes me proud to have your work available for my customers to enjoy (and buy)!
This week I was viewing a local property and one of your prints was on the wall for all to see;-).. brilliant!!
I could go on and on as to how lovely your artwork is and just as importantly how professional and approachable you are to work with.”
Katie Rayner – Owner of Crafty Praxis
(Card and print stockist, logo and branding work commission – Crafty Praxis, Byram Arcade, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire)
“I have been selling Katie’s cards and prints in Crafty Praxis for well over a year now.
The local artwork she produces is very popular and the quality of her items is high.
Katie has also extended her range of cards whilst supplying the shop, and these have been equally popular.
Katie has also developed a range of birthday cards upon request from myself for both children’s ages and adult ages.
She communicates well and delivers her stock on a timely basis to the shop.
It is a pleasure to stock her work in the shop and she is always reliable.”
