"Ken Murphy was able to get inside my head and create the aesthetic that I am comfortable with.
That I feel is right for my business."

David Hodgkins
Shop Owner
David Wood Clothiers

"We have used Ken for many projects from graphic design to the world class web page that he
built for us. I always enjoy working with Ken because he is creative and timely and has the versatility
to handle a wide array of projects. He not only produces a superior end product and support
that follows, but always provides us with the educational tools that make them easy to use. "

Cathy Gore
Manager
Street and Co.

“Ken’s images are singular objects of perfection – clean, distilled and assured. His work renews
lost and vernacular elements while utterly avoiding the ironic or the precious. The results embody
his vision that there is a continuity of classic design in which less is more. Working with Ken as
a commercial client has been a tremendous pleasure. The identity elements that he created reduce
our message to its essence, communicating exactly what we want with immediacy and power.
Reaction is constant and positive.”

"Ken has been with Be a Girl Today since the inception. His creativity, good humor and
thoughtfulness have carried us through many a crisis. I truly cannot say enough good things
about working with Ken – he is talented, insightful and a great human being. Anyone would
be lucky to have him on their team."

Paula Leavitt
President
Be A Girl Today

"Ken Murphy is an extremely talented designer and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was able
to listen to us and readily distill our rambling and often disparate thoughts into an identity and website design
that beautifully and simply captured exactly what we hope for and one for which we receive a steady
stream of positive feedback. Given that we are a non-profit, Ken also knew how important it was to us to
be able to update and maintain our wonderful new website on a largely do-it-ourselves basis and that's
exactly what we got. It couldn't possibly be easier. In fact, thanks to Ken, the entire experience was easy,
fun, timely and ultimately rewarding and we couldn't be happier with the final result!"

Cynthia Peoples
President
Caring Unlimited

"Getting a design from Ken Murphy is like receiving a gift you didn't know you wanted before it was
placed in your hands. Ken has a remarkable talent for taking a few words about what you think you'd like
to see in a logo and transforming letters, colors and images into exactly what you were hoping for. I have
worked with Ken on three projects now and I am constantly recommending him to anyone who might
be looking for design work - it's a recommendation I know I'll never regret making."
