“I’ve known Manda since middle school, and even then I knew she was magic. Wild, hilarious, talented as hell, and fiercely herself. The kind of person you remember. When I launched Mixed Fillings in 2020, Manda helped me figure out what the brand should look like, feel like, and sound like. From logos and colors to shirts, stickers, and all the little details, she helped turn an idea into an identity. She showed me that branding is about so much more than making things pretty. It's about creating something people recognize, connect with, and remember. That's exactly why I trusted her. She challenged me, pushed back when it mattered, and helped me sharpen my vision without ever losing sight of what made it mine. Manda doesn't just make things look good. She gets to the heart of what makes a brand special and brings it to life.”

"Manda is an outstanding designer and brings with her a passion for creative communications. She has successfully managed to bring that into a corporate environment without compromising her style and talent. She vastly improved all our newsletters, infographics, and internal communications. She is a pleasure to work with, a positive member to any team. I also really appreciate her production skills and attention to details. She is a rock star in my book."

"Together as strategist and designer, we created a dynamic duo that successfully pushed on the boundaries of innovative brand strategies for clients. It was Manda's incredible strength in design and illustration that strategically expressed thought-provoking marketing materials and guided brands through early- and late-stage development. Manda is skillful at matching the needs of clients to the task at hand. Her partnership with leadership to define critical deliverables, and focus on meeting short- and long-term goals were incomparable. Without a doubt, my favorite time working with Manda is during brainstorm workshops with multidisciplinary teams. Because not only can Manda execute in smart ways, she can have fun while doing it."

"Manda Borealis is an incredible artist, creative director and graphic designer. I have had the privilege of working with her at multiple companies on numerous projects. Her work is consistently eye-catching, professional and unique. She recently did a complete branding and identify design and style guide for my startup. First impressions are crucial and every time someone comments on the quality of our design I want to hug Manda. To anyone who thinks they can’t afford to hire Manda, I say you can’t afford not to hire Manda. Worth every penny and then some."
