What clients are saying about Johanna Goldfeld Design...
"Johanna was really great to work with – she has creative and insightful ideas, is easy-going and completely organized! After she developed the graphics and worked with us to select a color palette for our new 2,000 sq. ft 19th and 20th century galleries, called Making Connecticut, we asked her re-design the graphics in the existing 17th and 18th century galleries. This part of the project was particularly challenging because the graphics for the old exhibition needed to be integrated into the new design so it all looked like the one exhibition - and it does! We especially appreciated her work on an interactive map – she had many helpful suggestions that improved our original concept considerably. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!"
–Andrea Rapacz, Head of Interpretive Projects, Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford
"The brochures arrived on Thursday afternoon and look wonderful! Everyone (including the Executive Director!) was so impressed. You did a fantastic job and I want to thank you for your vision and your patience:-)."
–Kate Williamson, Curatorial Assistant, Museum of Biblical Art, New York, NY
"Johanna Goldfeld brings a whole new dimension to graphics at The Forbes Galleries with her use of color, font choices and imagery that makes for a uniform but dynamic design packages. She continues to figure out new and exciting ways to marry the content of a given exhibit with the graphic scheme so that they speak to each other seamlessly. Before we began working with Johanna, in December 2006, we were in the Stone Age with regard to exhibition layouts – i.e. small paper cut-outs for each piece taped down to a one dimensional gallery plan. Johanna brought us into the twenty-first century and the third dimension with her knowledge and use of Vectorworks and InDesign; thus expanding our ability to see the finished look prior to installation. This was and continues to be enormously helpful. In 2009, we hosted a Zsolnay pottery exhibition with more than 150 objects in three very diverse galleries. Johanna adjusted the graphic design layouts over and over through constant changes in object placement, until the Forbes curatorial team, collector and guest curator were all satisfied – no easy task! Johanna is a pleasure to work with and is a true asset to our department."
–Bonnie Kirschstein, Managing Director, The Forbes Galleries
"Johanna Goldfeld was marvelously creative in her design of an exhibition of my drawings,which included actual New York Times OP-ED pages. Her original ideas were utilized by the gallery for subsequent exhibitions."
–Mark Podwal, artist and author
"My non-profit, REVEAL, means the world to me. Our staff came to Johanna to design our website. We had some ideas, some hopes for the feel of the site but we didn't quite know the exact image or design that would somehow capture it all. Johanna did. When she had me log in to the test site to see what she had created for REVEAL, I got chills, turned red, and filled with tears. It fit REVEAL so magnificently. I could not have been happier. And working with Johanna is a pleasure. She is flexible and so forgiving and always understood and met our own challenges with us. I could not recommend Johanna more. I have hired her to continue updating and managing the REVEAL website. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else."
–Meggan Watterson, Executive Director, REVEAL
"After trying to work with three other designers, we were so relieved to find someone who listened carefully, suggested wisely, and helped us organize our scattered ideas into a cohesive vision and concept for our website. Johanna is extremely patient with our lack of technological savvy, an amazing artist, and truly a delight to work with."
