What they say about us
"When I started my current job as Deputy Director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography at the Graduate Center CUNY, I was so struck by the elegance of the Center's logo design, which was on our letterhead as well as a banner I used at all our events, that I pored through old files to find out who the designer was. Luckily I was able to figure out that it was Susanne Cerha at Silo Design. From that point on Susanne has been my go-to graphics person. She designs e-blasts, event pamphlets, fundraising brochures and our bi-annual half-page ads in the New York Review of Books, as well as digital ads in the New Yorker. Susanne recently redesigned our logo as a seal, which is now on our event banners with a subtle background incorporating the old logo, and which I proudly include under my signature in all my emails because it so handsome and regal. Susanne has an amazing graphic gift of true flair and intelligence. She is also extremely fast, turning around jobs in a matter of hours if not minutes, and her first instinct is to be flexible and collaborative—ie, she really listens to my ideas while educating me when she can! I feel most fortunate to be working with Susanne and I recommend her with great enthusiasm and belief."
