“In a 25-year career in publishing, at Special Child Publications, Microsoft Press, and Pongo Publishing, it has been my pleasure to work with many talented people. Yasmine Rafii at Y Art Works is one of the very best. She is creative and intelligent, an excellent communicator and top professional. I particularly appreciate the way she listens and responds sensitively to the needs of the job at hand, then acts as a most valued contributor and collaborator. I highly recommend Y Art Works."

—Richard Gold, Founder and Executive Director of Pongo Publishing

“When you work with Yasmine, you find yourself working in a true partnership that results in an incredible experience, and an end product that is better than you first imagined.  Yasmine has an uncanny way of understanding the needs of those she works with and, if necessary, being able to make suggestions to guide design in a way that I have never experienced in my career before now. Working with Yasmine has allowed me to completely transform the brand of a large organization, and in a painless way. I could not have wished for a better designer to work with, and I continue to look forward to every project we do, together.”

— Darrell Bulmer, Director of Communications, Hopelink

“Ed and I started looking for a sophisticated resource to help us create and communicate our story, brand and related materials including a logo for our start-up: Chinook Capital Advisors. Our search ended when we met Yasmine. She very tactfully challenged our thinking and pushed us to go out of the box. We pushed back too! In the end, she helped to create a story, brand and messaging that we find to be quite compelling and which has been successfully received. We regularly get compliments on our logo, website, message, colors, fonts, materials, image, etc. Thank you, Yasmine, for your invaluable and expert help.”

— John O'Dore, Co-Founder, Chinook Capital Advisors

“It's hard to select only THREE "attributes" for Yasmine. She is a remarkably creative artist who maintains great integrity in her work and business relationships, and is certainly an expert in her craft. She brings fresh, often provocative ideas to the table in ways that expand one's perspective on what is possible and lead to absolutely beautiful final products. If you're seeking a graphic artist or a designer who will bring energy and elegance to your project, Yasmine is among the very best.” 

— Carl Binder, Founder, The Performance Thinking Network

“In over 10 years of work with Yasmine on many projects, she has continued to amaze me with her exceptional ability to translate a vision and convey its message through various mediums (online as well as in print) with ease, power, and elegance.”
