- We currently have brand guidelines, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have project description, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,276 , allowing us to provide direct service to expecting mothers.
This project will help us to connect families throughout the nation. There is such a need for real human connection during COVID-19 as so many are limiting social interaction.

Testimonials
If I had just 1 word to describe our experience with Kathy, it would say AMAZING! Kathy 1st sought to understand our work and what we message wanted the logo to convey. After speaking with her and completing her initial survey she created a design that reflected our vision. From there she was very open to feedback and edits. Kathy used our feedback to take the design to the next level. Our leadership team, advisory team, staff and Board of Directors are 110% pleased with the final design.
Working with Kiddada and her team for designing the logo was one of the best design experience I have had. They knew exactly what they want. They were so clear and fast in feedback. They respected my time and tried to wrap up the project as soon as they could. I'm so glad that I could help their organization by my skills and would love to work with them again. Highly recommend!
