By using Kool Rd Studios, our small organization has the graphic design and marketing departments we could never have afforded otherwise. Our materials are more cohesive, visually-appealing and eye-catching than those of larger businesses. Taffy helped us meet our needs and on our budget.
With Kool Rd, you get the attention you expect from a small company and the expertise and responsiveness you would expect of a large one.
Kool Rd is multilingual; Taffy transitions ably between industry-speak and plain English. Her professionalism is remarkable. She treats each client and answers every question with courtesy and respect.
What I appreciate most about Taffy is that when I ask for her opinion, she gives me an honest and experienced answer along with the reasoning and background that I need to make an informed decision. At the same time, even when I want to go in a different direction, she supports me wholeheartedly.
Most of the time, Taffy understands what I want and need better than I do. I am astonished at how well she can take my half-formed thoughts, ideas and visions and translate them into something more than I had ever imagined.

Taffy is an amazing person to work with. When I started Extreme Aerial Media, I needed a logo, business papers, letterhead, you name it and Taffy took care of all of it, from the design all the way to implementation. Anyone thinking of opening a new business should definitely consider Taffy. The value one receives for her services and ideas are more than fair. I would recommend her to anyone who would need small business supplies and design.

As the executive director for a small non-profit organization with limited funding, I am always concerned about cost. Kool Rd Studios helped me create a marketing plan that produces results because I can stick to it. During the past three years client services has increased by 75% and continues to grow.
ETP has worked closely with Kool Rd Studios on targeted marketing plans, promotional materials, as well as print and Web site design. Through their support and personal attention, my agency has been able to achieve our professional goals, which includes meeting the needs of early childhood professionals throughout the State of Washington.
When I prepare our annual budget, Kool Rd Studios remains a consistent line item because of the excellent return on investment we receive from their services.

Taffy Gallagher is a creative talent with intelligent business sense. She produces a classy marketable image that is both efficient and effective. Many of my colleagues have invested well over twenty thousand dollars to develop websites with disappointing results. My experience with Kool Rd Studios has been the opposite. The price was reasonable and the product successful in connecting with the clients I want to attract. The difference at Kool Rd Studios is Ms. Gallagher’s ability to understand the marketable characteristics of your business, which she translates into a signature design. Her work is not pre-packaged. She develops a stylish logo, with presence and visibility that connects people to your business.
I highly recommend Kool Rd Studios for your professional design needs.

Taffy, you took a rough sketch idea for a new logo design and turned it into something even better than our group envisioned. What’s more, in the back and forth development process, your creative energy was contagious. Thank you Taffy for your skills, insights, and flexible pricing.

When I first became a contract worker, I realized that I would need my own marketing materials. As I had always worked for a company that provided such materials, I had no idea how to create business cards, a logo, letterhead, or any other marketing must-haves. Thank goodness I found Taffy Gallagher and Kool Rd Studios.
Taffy is a master at creating something out of nothing! At our initial meeting, the only information I could provide Taffy was a ”feel” that I wanted my marketing materials to have. Taffy patiently walked me through the creation process step by step, providing her own professional insight, but also staying very attuned to that “feel” I was trying to create.
The results were amazing! I now have materials that project exactly the feel I wanted, and I’m constantly complimented on them. And my relationship with Taffy didn’t end with the final product. Taffy is always available to help me make changes, point me to affordable printers, and offer her expertise. No other marketer is able to provide the level of personal service to new business owners at the price that Kool Rd Studios does!

…I used many of your ideas and the logo is great. I get very positive responses about it from parents etc. Our new sign looks awesome and is working well. The enrollment has grown steadily since last Fall…. I am in the black as of this month and expect that to continue. I also broke even in May, this summers enrollment was way better than last year too.
I want to say thanks again for your help and advice. I am so glad you made time for me and that I called you in the first place. You really helped me focus on the best ways to get good growth going. Thank you so much!
