Testimonials

“Ayla has produced amazing work for the Canberra Comedy Festival since its inception 10 years ago. This includes the iconic festival logo and program covers. I continually get comments from members of the public, performers, venue owners and media about how we ‘nailed the design’. That credit goes to Ayla.”

Patrick Hornby, Canberra Comedy Festival

“As a performing artist, my website and branding is really important for generating business and directing people to my work. Ayla created a very professional and functional site, as well as associated branding, which has greatly improved my online presence. Ayla was excellent in the design process, particularly with helping me find the design that worked best for me.”

– Tom Gibson, Writer & Performing Artist

“As a small community group we found working with Ayla very easy. She is very professional in her approach to clients. After listening to our goals and gathering information, Ayla produced a website tailored to our needs. We recommend Ayla for her professionalism and expertise in the field of web design.”

Denise Duck, Collector Memorial Hall Committee

“I was lucky enough to have Ayla design my business website, and several posters for various comedy festivals I performed in. Ayla was fantastic to deal with, and her work was second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate in working with her again.”
