— Adaora Udoji“Dorie is supremely gifted! Not only does she deeply understand the nature of telling a story, messaging, and clarity- all challenging skills- but she is also a genius at creating a visual experience of the ideas, concepts, thoughts, facts, and all manner of information. All one needs to do is take a look at her work, the breadth and width of her topics, and her ability to make each shine is absolute proof. Don't walk, but run to Dorie if you need a compelling visual, deck, or presentation to speak volumes for any of your work!”
— Thom Graves, EVP, Creative Strategy at Symbiotix and Havas Medical Communications“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dorie for the past three years, and in that time she has consistently proven herself to be an outstanding Associate Creative Director in the healthcare space. She brings a rare blend of conceptual thinking and design precision, for both print and digital channels. Whether she’s leading a campaign or refining a single asset, her work is always thoughtful and creative.
She’s also one of the fastest and most reliable partners I’ve worked with—able to turn around high-quality creative under tight timelines without ever sacrificing craft. Working with clients she’s poised, clear, and collaborative, and knows how to translate complex scientific content into engaging, human-centered visuals.
Beyond all that, she’s simply a great teammate: positive, solution-oriented, and always pushing the creative to work harder. Any team would be lucky to have her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
— Sarah Brasky, Founder & Executive Director, Foster Dogs Inc.“Dorie is a creative mastermind! When she does something, she does it beautifully. Dorie and her former dog Chloe Kardoggian were hugely involved in my organization’s specialized “Fospice” program for end-of-life foster care for shelter dogs, with Foster Dogs Inc. When Chloe passed away, Dorie continued her involvement through a fundraiser event two years in a row (in addition to numerous social media-based fundraisers). She organized raffle items, compiled gift bags, designed promotional materials, kept careful record of all event plans and corporate involvement, and more. Dorie has designed numerous posters and graphics for my organization, including our event collaborations with Susie’s Senior Dogs - another NY-based nonprofit organization. Dorie has helped Foster Dogs Inc immensely over the years also as a board member, and we are so impressed with her never-ending creativity, friendly attitude, positive nature, and dedication to good causes.”
— Carla Brown, iQuanti“Dorie came highly recommended to me by a former colleague. Within the recommendation, the colleague stated she was easy to work with and is a very talented presentation designer. Since then I have hired Dorie to work on 3 or more presentations some of which were 50 pages or more. While working with her on these presentations I noticed that Dorie is not only all the things my colleague said she was, but she is also lightning fast. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she goes above and beyond on assignments. She also makes sure to clarify any direction that is unclear prior to starting a project. It has been a joy working with her, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her more in the future.”
— Meryl Rosenthal, FlexPaths“Dorie Herman was recently introduced to #FlexPaths by a trusted colleague. Our need was to enhance our proposal documents to better align with our brand, creatively reinforce our value-add, and use graphics to tell our story. With a brief, virtual brainstorming session, Dorie quickly turned around several options - one of which was spot on for what was needed - completed within 10 business days. Thrilled with Dorie’s creativity and the outcome!”
— Teri Karush Rogers, Founder & CEO at Brick Underground“Dorie is a very talented designer that helped my company with multiple presentations in a very quick turnaround time. She is very fast, and always beat her own promised timelines while still being very detail-oriented which I find to be remarkably hard to come by. I would absolutely recommend her for your presentation and storytelling needs.”
— Abbe Sublett, Design Director at Mediabrands“Dorie was recently recommended by a mutual acquaintance to design slides for a new business presentation on a very tight turnaround. She knocked it out of the park in her first two hours on our project. She is creative, collaborative, responsive, efficient and a total pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!!”
— Natasha Ellis, Alive + Well Co.“Dorie is a pro! Anytime I give Dorie a design project she takes it to a level of aesthetic appeal that I could not have conceived myself. She is communicative, meets deadlines, nice to work with, affordable based on her high skill level. If you need a top notch designer, Dorie is a sure thing.”
— Andrew Der“Dorie and I worked together at FutureThink, and I’ve hired her a few times since for freelance work. She’s always thorough and thoughtful in her work, is quick to respond, and turns around deliverables quickly. She’s very easy to work with, which is why I keep reaching out to her for any design needs I’ve had.”
— Clint Misamore, Co-Founder and CEO of WUF WORLD and Adventum— Blair Vance, Barkley— Julie Netto, The Franklin Angus Fund“Dorie has been absolutely incredible to work with. She is VERY responsive and has excellent attention to detail. She understood our creative direction and made it even better. We will be working with her again in the future. 10/10”
“Dorie is a pleasure to work with - she works quickly and is very responsive. Dorie dives in to the work and delivers promptly. She was able to get up to speed on our projects very quickly to jump in and help. It would be a joy to work with her again!”
“Dorie created a custom logo for my non-profit, The Franklin Angus Fund. The logo beautifully illustrated his sense of strength and pride and Dorie made an intimidating process quite seamless.”
