When presenting Cory's work to retailers (Target, Lowe's, et. al.) they are thrilled with her on-trend package design and color selections. She and her staff are delightful to work with--they always deliver exceptional work, on-time and within budget.

They were able to develop a luxury, fashion forward designs, while represented Swarovski’s core brand and keeping to the overall global branding requirements and adjusting it to the unique nuances of the US market and retailer needs. They worked on a variety of our projects including, packaging and point of sale solutions for large big box and craft and beauty retailers like, Michaels and Sally’s Beauty.

While they exceeding our expectations in the overall designs it is also important to note their strengths went beyond design. Their attention to detail and accuracy took a huge weight off my shoulders in the managing of these large projects. With multiple skus, different artwork, illustrations, photography and UPC codes for each these big projects had to be coordinated. I had complete confidence in their work throughout all stages to the final packaged being sent to the retailer. If they had not been part of the process the project could have easily had a lot of mistakes. Again, CYD Design exceeded our expectations and insured the success of our projects! I would highly recommend them!”
