What we've worked on.

What people are saying.

Tara has an amazing ability to get inside your head, capture your vision and execute it with a creative energy that exceeds all expectations. Add to that her professional, thoughtful and detail-oriented approach, and you get someone who is a dream to work with. I felt very fortunate to be connected to her.

Anne Kershaw, Defund the Patriarchy

I asked Tara to design some new business cards for me with the key objectives being to make them simple and elegant. Tara met with me to ensure that she understood what I was looking for, and was able to complete the design in a very timely manner. Tara is a talented graphic designer and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Brenda J. Hamilton, Dolce Vita Wedding Officiant Services

Tara was a real asset when I needed someone to complete a quick turnaround on a 16-page booklet redesign. She provided me with a quote and contract immediately and delivered a clean, organized document with awesome graphics, on time, on budget! Much appreciated!

Sandra Wiebe, Routes Media Inc. High River, Alberta

Tara was a delight to work with. She worked on the project in a timely and professional manner. The end result was exactly what the client was hoping for, a unique video that conveyed their experience and expertise, and yet fun and engaging to attract new food testers. When we posted the video on social media, we noticed an immediate drop in the cost per click and the cost per conversion compared to static images. It was a win for everyone.

Tammy Martin, Martin Marketing

I contacted Morewood design [now So Cool!] to help develop advertising flyers for a seminar. Working with Tara was a breeze! A few simple questions about the project and she knew exactly what I was looking for! Her work was phenomenal! Tara was able to create an eye-catching flyer that I know will stand out and attract the audience I am looking for. I would highly recommend Tara for everyone’s marketing needs and will be using her in the future.

Aaron Buchner, Susan Creasy Financial Inc.

Our company was looking to create a few logo animations for our clients and Tara delivered on everything we were looking for! Tara quickly turned our basic images into multi-faceted animations that looked fantastic and communicated the steps thoroughly throughout the process! We will definitely use Tara for any animation work in the future and are happy to recommend her to anyone looking for similar work to be done in the future.

Jordan Milani, iGuide Kingston

Tara with Morewood Design [now So Cool!] was phenomenal right from the beginning. She was able to understand precisely what I was looking to project in my design and was extremely responsive with any inquiries I had. Along with her attention to detail, she was able to suggest different angles and ideas to increase audience attention/awareness and was truly remarkable when we needed to outsource some effects to make the project ‘pop’! I’d recommend Morewood Design [now So Cool!] to anyone looking to bring their ideas and visions to life! Thanks again Tara!

Mike Cote-DiPietrantonio, RE/MAX

We contacted Morewood Design [now So Cool!] for a video that explained our message while representing our identity. Working with Tara was a dream – fast turn around, clear billing, and a strong plan for managing our project. Our video served its purpose perfectly, and I would highly endorse working with Morewood Design [now So Cool!] to all those looking for a quick turn around on well-executed projects.

Isabelle Duchaine, Business/Higher Education Roundtable

I envisioned a mermaid logo for our resortwear collection.  A couple of designers tried and failed to capture the ‘feel’ I was after.  Then I hired Tara.  She took the time to understand what I was hoping for, and came up with a great initial design – and was patient in tweaking the design, until it was exactly right.  I’m really happy with the end result.  I recommend Tara highly for your next design project.
