It's Good to Know … Linda Mah-Snyder

I was a full-time partner in an advertising agency for almost 30 years, and I know from experience that it’s great to know a good copywriter, photographer, and most of all, a graphic designer. Linda Mah-Snyder is the best computer graphic designer I know. I have worked with her as a business partner for over 25 years and she never ceases to amaze me with her creativity, work ethic, innovation, appreciation of tight budgets and ability to lead an entire creative team and develop a great rapport with any and every client. She is among the best in the business, and has experience with accounts in many types of business, but has always kept children’s apparel and juvenile products as specialties in her portfolio.

I credit Linda with saving our ad agency, when we made the challenging transition from a traditional ad agency in the mid 1980s, with all our designers using art boards, pens and colored markers, to a full-fledged computer-driven agency using all the latest design software. In those days, plugging in the electric waxer was equivalent to a computer crash. Linda learned it all and made it possible for us to thrive and serve a variety of clients in a new creative era. Linda can do it all, including Web design, packaging, brochures, point-of-purchase displays, logos, print advertisements, signage, trade show displays and catalogs. She is also an expert at printing press supervision and I am sure she has never missed a deadline, or even ever been late for a client meeting!

I have spent more time working by Linda’s side than anyone else in my career. She has been my trusted business partner, co-worker, friend, collaborator, and confidant for decades. Her creative talents are only outshone by her strength of character and integrity.

I am fortunate that Linda Mah-Snyder has been an important person in my life. We have celebrated, shared and endured professionally through many interesting ad and marketing campaigns. We’ve also celebrated our challenges and achievements of being parents, through all stages of growing families.

If you need a great graphic designer, it’s good that now you know about Linda Mah-Snyder. I have never met anyone that has not been better off in their business after working with her. And that’s good to know!
