I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for Deedra Anderson, who has served as a Graphic Designer and Production Artist II with ScribeConcepts for more than the two years I've been directing the department. In my role as Creative Director and Director of Design & Publishing, I have had the privilege of working closely with Deedra on a range of high-profile projects, where her expertise, professionalism, and creative vision consistently exceeded expectations.
Deedra has been a critical contributor to key initiatives for prominent clients such as PCG (Public Consulting Group), The Lavinia Group, and Benchmark Education—all leaders in the K–12 educational sector. These projects demanded precision, creativity, and adherence to strict educational publishing standards, all within tight production timelines. Deedra rose to every challenge with exceptional skill and dedication.
Her versatility across multiple design platforms has been invaluable. Deedra has expertly developed InDesign templates that streamlined production workflows, created detailed Illustrator line art tailored for educational content, enhanced and manipulated Photoshop images creatively to meet diverse project needs, and executed comprehensive design and layout tasks with a meticulous eye for detail and consistency.
What distinguishes Deedra is not only her technical proficiency but also her ability to think strategically about design within the context of educational publishing. She understands how to balance aesthetic appeal with functional clarity, ensuring that learning materials are both engaging and accessible to students and educators. Her work has directly contributed to the successful delivery of high-quality textbooks and supplemental resources meeting our customer expectations and their educational goals.
In addition to her creative talents, Deedra is a consummate professional—reliable, communicative, and highly collaborative. She seamlessly integrates into teams, anticipates project needs, and proactively addresses challenges before they escalate. Her positive attitude and commitment to excellence make her a trusted partner on any project. I often sought her council and feedback for projects and on ways to improve.
I am confident that Deedra Anderson will be an outstanding asset to any organization seeking a seasoned, senior graphic designer and production artist with a proven track record in publishing environments. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity she chooses to pursue.

I am delighted to recommend Deedra Anderson for any production design or graphic design role. I have had the privilege of working closely with Deedra over the past year in my role as a Production Associate in the Design and Production Department at ScribeConcepts, where she has been a valued Production Artist since 2022.
Deedra is an exceptional designer whose work is both beautiful and highly functional. She has a rare ability to create organized, clean, and easy-to-use InDesign templates that support the work of an entire remote production team of two dozen or more contractors. Her templates are intuitive and expertly structured, enabling our large team to work efficiently and maintain high standards of consistency.
Deedra has worked directly with large publishing clients, translating their complex K–8 educational product designs into streamlined, accessible templates. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of both the creative and technical aspects of design have made her an invaluable collaborator on these projects. In addition to her template development, she has also applied her skills to the layout and design of elementary-level decodable reader books, thoughtfully incorporating grade-appropriate fonts, illustration and design strategies to optimize learning and comprehension.
Deedra is an expert in Adobe InDesign and possesses strong skills in Adobe Illustrator, Google Apps and Microsoft Word. She is highly experienced in high-volume compositing, consistently delivering high-quality results even under tight deadlines. Beyond her technical expertise, Deedra is a wonderful collaborator — creative, professional, thoughtful and always eager to find new ways to improve her work.
I truly adore working with Deedra. She brings not only her immense talent to every project, but also a positive, collaborative spirit that makes every team stronger. I recommend her with complete confidence and am certain she will be a tremendous asset to any organization fortunate enough to work with her.

It’s a pleasure to recommend Deedra. She performed all of our graphic design for 16 years when I ran an HR consulting firm and whether it was a flyer or a brochure, she never missed a beat! The work she did was compelling, always professional and completed in a timely manner. If you hire Deedra, you won’t be disappointed!

Griffin Communications
Deedra Anderson is the most talented graphic designer I worked with in more than three decades of running my business, a regional advertising and design firm in central California.
When Deedra joined our team at Griffin Communications, we had a small staff of graphic artists and she was called upon to pitch in on ongoing projects and handle ad production. Within months, she was handling larger assignments – including multi-page brochures and reports, billboards, logo design and print ad campaigns.
Deedra’s talent made her a stand-out designer, and her quiet integrity and hard work made her a steady, dependable team member. When I scaled down my business and sold my building, it was my honor and pleasure to refer many of my former clients to Deedra as she developed her own freelance career.
By the time I moved to Cambria on the central coast of California, I had whittled down my own clients to just a few I could handle via long-distance. I continued to retain Deedra’s services for those projects and we worked collaboratively for years on print ad campaigns, signage projects, brochures and other design projects. I would email her a design brief, specs and copy – and she would turn the project around within deadline every time.
If I were building a team today, I would want Deedra on it. She is not only a talented graphic designer, she is an exceptional person. In our many years of working together – both as her boss and her client – I know her as a person with integrity, kindness and an admirable work ethic.
