Testimonials
Below are some testimonials from clients and associates of what you can expect to experience if you decide to work with me.
Jen Burns
Integrated Marketing ManagerJive Software
Working with Jef at Baynote was an absolute pleasure. Friendly, kind and hard working, Jef contracted for us during a co-worker’s maternity leave (and a year thereafter) – and quickly picked up where we needed him to. Whether it was simple cropping of an image or working directly in the HTML/CSS of our emails and web pages, or design for print, he was always available, reliable, thorough and easy to work with. I would gladly hire Jef for future web & print work.
Aaron Cepek

Jef’s design ability and problem solving skills made our work together on redesign initiatives at Baynote.com productive and fun. His designs were easy to understand and work from and he was an integral part of improvements made on the site. He’s very knowledgeable and I highly recommend his design skills.
Michael Maffei
PresidentCall Center Classifieds
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jef and Gunion Design on several projects over the last three years. One of the web development projects; www.CallCenterClassifieds.com; won a prestigious industry Product of the Year award in the mid-2000’s. The creative genius that is Jef, really made an impact on how my website was viewed in the marketplace; fresh and exciting. The great thing about working with Jef and his team is the immediate availability and accountability to do the job right and exceed expectations the first time. I would highly recommend Gunion Design and will certainly work with them on future projects.
Joe Becker
PresidentDolphin Ventures
When I decided to have my corporate logo and identity developed professionally, I chose Gunion Design for the job amongst several other firms because I felt that Jef understood what I was trying to achieve with my corporate identity and I liked the step by step process that Gunion utilizes to obtain the results for their clients. I wanted a logo that would be unique and instantly recognizable but one that would also be understated, tasteful and elegant. The result far exceeded my expectations. Jef created a classic logo and corporate identity package—an award winner and one that I will never change. I can unequivocally recommend Gunion Design.
Emily Huscher
ManagerFriends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries
Jef is an excellent web designer who redesigned the Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries website. The result was, and is, professional, functional, and just the right amount of creative.

Every time I look at my Brochure and Stationery System I smile! I get so many compliments that I wish I could say I designed it myself! Jef’s design worked out to be exactly the image I wanted my company to portray. Working with him was uncomplicated and fun. He respected my suggestions and had numerous clever ideas in developing just the right image. I appreciated his professional timeliness and extensive creative energy. His work makes me wish I would have stayed in art school!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jef on a few projects for my small Integrative Health business. He created my website, my blog and designed my business cards and brochures. He’s extremely creative, thoughtful and talented. What I really appreciate is his ability to finish projects very quickly. Furthermore, he motivates me to keep up to date on marketing strategies concerning my website and other social media networking. It is obvious to me that Jef loves what he does, as is a true expert in his field. I highly recommend Jef to any business, big or small, for all your graphic design needs.
Shaw Dunton

Jef has been my primary go-to guy for all of my company’s graphic design needs. From synthesizing different people’s ideas and perspectives into award-winning design solutions, to changing our “look” as we matured as a company and coordinating print jobs, I have always relied on Jef for his creativity, professionalism and output.

I always enjoy working with Jef, and look forward to our next projects. I can honestly say, Jef is one of the most talented Graphic Designer/Art Directors I’ve worked with. His calm, fun nature always makes one feel at ease… even during a stressful shoot. He has the ability to put a smile back on your face. I’ll never forget some of our projects we worked on together.
Jonathan Palmer

Jef really came through for me when I was launching my website along with a new identity. His ability to generate design after design as we worked through an iterative process was all the more impressive because I really did not know what I wanted. Somehow he was able to translate my input into a finished product that truly exceeded my expectations. If you need creative direction or just great graphic design, Jef is your man.
Mike “Lew” Lamar
Web Developer/Software Engineerabbaroo.com
Jef creates nice looking graphics which are easy to integrate my back-end coding to make the website complete. He also is knowledgeable about technical issues so that we can communicate well to get the job done.
Jim Evans & Tom Fillio
Co-foundersBigwaves
When Bigwaves wanted to develop a Web site, we worked with three different designers before we finally found Gunion Design and felt confident that our vision would be realized. Jef has that rare gift of listening and then translating a concept into a functional and attractive image. As we continue to expand, Jef is the first person we turn to whenever a new project is ready to be developed, and I expect that will remain true for a long time to come.
Ruth Presslaff
