Nicole was an absolute gem to work with. She helped create a new branding for an online shop of me and my husbands artwork. Her process was so through and smooth, and we were so happy with the end result. We really liked the attention she put in the beginning part of the process by really getting to know our brand, our likes, our wants, etc. It really showed in the end result that she was in line with what we wanted in a rebrand.1000% recommend Nicole for any branding or design needs.
She was an excellent professional who listened to my ideas and then took then and expanded on them.
I hired Sun and Hon to do my new company branding for SunStar Alaska Bed and Breakfast. Nicole has been a delight to work with. She was an excellent professional who listened to my ideas and then took then and expanded on them. She made me feel very comfortable by communicating her processes. I was very satisfied with the final result that I have hired her to work on my website and social media. They are an excellent business partner. I highly recommend Sun and Hon for all marketing, branding and social media needs. The quality of work is AMAZING!!!
Tech savvy and collaborative, Nicole is the best choice for design!
Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She encapsulated my aesthetic, created gorgeous print and digital media, and was ultra knowledgeable about the best way to get your brand and copy to “pop”. Tech savvy and collaborative, Nicole is the best choice for design!
She's always exceeded my expectations.
I’ve worked with Nicole on an array of projects big and small, and she has never let me down. In fact she’s always exceeded my expectations.
She listened to our needs and learned about our goals and created a tool that will help us market our business.
Working with Nicole to develop a strategic branding and marketing plan has been instrumental to the success of our new business. She listened to our needs and learned about our goals and created a tool that will help us market our business. We learned so much from Nicole, and we really love what she developed for us. 10/10 would recommend.
Working with Sun & Hon kept me accountable and helped me grow my business.
I am a solo business owner with enough computer and design skills to think I could make a website on my own. I paid a lot of money to a rather well known online purveyor for a 'design in a day' website that was so awful I ended up buying a SquareSpace template that night and re-doing it myself. I did an okay job, but a few things broke and it certainly needed a refresh after two years. As a business owner, I knew I didn't have time to learn SS, so I sought help. I first checked out the custom services offered by the company where I got the SS template, but I knew I needed more personalized attention, especially for the price they were charging. Then, I looked into another SS template shop, ultimately realizing I'd just end up in the same spot I was in with a half baked website. After being turned down by a local company who serves bigger clients than myself, I finally was referred to Sun & Hon and I could not be happier! Nicole delivered!! She listened to my needs and pain points, and ended up giving me the website I never knew was possible. In addition to doing "all the things", she updated my fonts and colors to better match my business's tone, made custom illustrations, and even referred me to someone who could help with copy editing. Working with Sun & Hon kept me accountable and helped me grow my business. Full service, yes please!! Sun & Hon is especially great if you're a new, small business or solo entrepreneur who needs branding/design in addition to a website. I'm over the moon about my website and if you give Sun & Hon a try, I'm sure you will be too!
She listened to our requests, made suggestions, and was so easy to work with throughout the entire process.
Nicole designed our wedding invitations + favors and they were absolutely perfect! She listened to our requests, made suggestions, and was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. The results were even better than I could have imagined! Our invitations were so beautiful and we received many compliments on her design work. Her illustration for the patches was amazing and our guests loved them. Thank you Nicole!!
Nicole does incredible technical work, but it's the focus on finding the voice and presence for her clients that makes her stand out.

We highly recommend Nicole and Sun & Hon to any business seeking a thoughtful and impactful design partnership.
We worked with Nicole on a logo/brand redesign, and the results have been nothing short of outstanding. Nicole started by researching and learning anything and everything about our company and demonstrated an exceptional understanding of our brand's identity. Her questions led us to discover and articulate things that we didn't even realize about ourselves at the time. She brought all of this information together and blended modern aesthetics with our fundamentals, delivering a logo that we feel is both timeless and forward-thinking. Throughout the process, Nicole's professionalism and creativity stood out. She was attentive to our feedback, responsive to our needs, and consistently delivered high-quality work on schedule. Her ability to translate our thoughts and ideas into a visual identity that captures the spirit of our company is truly commendable. We are thrilled with the outcome and confident that this new logo will serve as a strong foundation for our brand's future growth. We have been recieving complement after complement after rolling out the updates. We highly recommend Nicole and Sun & Hon to any business seeking a thoughtful and impactful design partnership.
