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.

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!
