CLAUDIA RENZI ~ recommendations
SGDP
Claudia is wonderfully creative and an excellent designer who is also a dedicated and enthusiastic
team member. Additionally, she is a very good artist, one of the few younger designers I know who
can actually draw!”

Claudia Renzi is a wonderfully passionate designer, with a great ability to think conceptually,
especially with regard to identity work. Her craftsmanship and eye for detail tell a story of dedication,
hard work and inspiration. Simply look at her sketch books. Thank you Claudia, for contributing
here at SGDP, to so many wonderful years and projects.”
February 10, 2009
Claudia was a valued part of our SGDP team. She is a wonderful designer with a great eye for
what is beautiful and elegant. She is a hard worker and would bring a creative spark to any type
of design project.”
February 10, 2009
Claudia is a great designer and has been an outstanding contributor to our design team. She is
dedicated and passionate about her work. She is funny and spirited and a joy to work with.”
February 10, 2009
Claudia is one of the most talented and passionate designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
She’s someone who continually looks for ways to challenge herself creatively and pushes others
to do the same. Claudia would truly be a shining addition to any creative organization.”
February 10, 2009
I am a big fan of Miss Renzi. She has a strong work ethic and a keen ability to turn a bland collateral
project into something interesting. Even with little direction and a tight timeline, Claudia is able to
turn rotten lemons in to Starbucks’ fabled lemon squares! As her writing partner, I enjoyed collaborating
with Claudia and looked forward to hearing her perspective on our projects. She challenged me to
think more visually and was always conscious of not just solving the problem at hand, but looking
ahead to how these solutions translate into a campaign or as part of the family brand. She also
makes a mean Tiramisù.”
February 5, 2009
Claudia is brimming with innovative ideas and she creates beautiful design solutions that address even
the trickiest client challenges. Her innate talent, positive attitude and witty sense of humor make her
an asset to any project team.”
February 5, 2009
I had the great pleasure of working with Claudia at SGDP for the past 4 years. She brings a wealth
of talent and experience to every project. Her work is professional, smart, highly creative and
detail-oriented. She has a great attitude that’s full of both optimism and enthusiasm. I would love
to work with Claudia again.”

SGDP-continued
Claudia is a talented and dedicated designer. She is a team player and will work hard to ensure a project
is done well and on time.”
February 4, 2009
Claudia is a wonderful graphic designer. She deeply loves what she does, and it shows. Her work has
powerful visual ideas, shows insight about the subject, and is always moving. In a world where design
can be cool, neutral or hot, Claudia brings on four-alarm heat.”
February 4, 2009
If you have demanding clients, a ton of difficult revisions and have to have them done fast and with a smile,
Claudia is perfect for your team. And if you want gorgeous logos, hand-drawn illustration, an amazing eye
for photography and color, Claudia will work well in your organization. And if you are looking for someone
who has extensive experience traveling internationally, is bilingual and works well with people from every
imaginable culture and background, Claudia is perfect for that, too. Let our loss be your gain. She is too
good to not grab quickly.”

ACTIVE GRAPHICS, INC.
Claudia is a delight to work with. She is a positive force, and uses that to bring her design to life. Her
detail orientated approach, and ability to communicate effectively makes her work stand out in the crowd.
An impressive talent, and more importantly an impressive person.”

DIEMAND PRINTING
Claudia is an excellent Graphic designer with very clever ideas, very consistent quality, very detail oriented
and tremendous follow through. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

EPIC
Claudia is a dynamic, innovative, witty woman with a true passion for things that matter. She takes that
optimism and channels it into her design talent. Because of her positive attitude and real world thinking,
she’s a joy to be around.”

CHICAGO-BASED FREELANCER
Claudia is a great friend and colleague. She has great communication skills and really understands what
the client needs. For Claudia, design is not just a job, it is a lifestyle. She takes pride in all that she does and
takes initiative to go the extra mile. She is a problem solver whose design skills are out-weighed only by her
silly, yet witty sense of humor.”

UNDER-CONSIDERATION
I worked with Claudia for over two years at Norman Design; her creativity – especially her typographic
sensibilities – were consistently surprising and inspiring. Her work experience is a great asset, having
worked with VSA Partners and SGDP, as well, which are two great design firms in Chicago. Apart from her
design proficiency, she’s a great social addition to any team, she’s friendly and funny, which is as important
as being a good kerner.”
