Amie Alden | Communications Manager | Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

“Ridiculously capable is a phrase that comes to mind when I think about Gilda. I have had the pleasure of working with her for six years.. I have been particularly impressed by Gilda’s communication throughout the design process and of course her efficacy; however complicated a brief, she’ll quickly follow up if any instructions are unclear, provide timely responses to any questions we have and will explain how and why different design elements should be used, which has really sold us to her ideas.

Gilda’s design work has raised our printed communications game, incorporating existing brand guidelines while also creating an exciting design style for us. Even though we have only worked remotely together, I can sense Gilda’s warmth and enthusiasm through her emails and she would be an asset to any team.”

Catherne Ridley | Founder | Sama Sama (Acquired by Airsorted, now Houst)

“Gilda's creativity and talent are simply outstanding. I've been lucky enough to work with her for many years now, and every vision I have embarked upon she has helped me form into a living, breathing brand. She listens to the brief, she's patient with changes and she has exceptionally high standards. The end result is as if she's read my mind, and enhanced it with her own magic - which is exactly what you need from a graphic designer. Gilda's work has added huge value to the businesses she has worked on with me and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. I look forward to continuing to work together for the rest of our careers.”

Rosa Madalengoitia | Founder & Director | Artisans Collection

“Gilda tiene muchas habilidades. Su compromiso ante las responsabilidades asignadas y el tiempo extra que le dedica a éstas es notable. Fue un soporte importante en este proyecto. Su creatividad al servicio, no sólo del diseño, sino para aportar a otras tareas o etapas del trabajo. Su trato con los artesanos en general fue cordial, tolerante y de mucha generosidad. Su honestidad cuando rendía cuentas del trabajo o del dinero que se le entregaba para compras o contratar algún servicio extra. Uno puede apoyarse totalmente en ella, con la certeza de que no nos defraudará. Su trato con los artesanos en general fue cordial, tolerante y de mucha generosidad.

Joanna Andrews | Director of Communications | Cisco CX EMEA

“Gilda stands out from the crowd. She is a seasoned professional and very easy to work with. She works with passion and drive to put her unique stamp on her designs. She embraces both individuality and cultural identity. She is a highly conscientious worker who is also a consummate team player. If you give Gilda a brief she will run with it. I would highly recommend her for a senior creative role”

Sanam Hussain | Creative Designer | Campaign’s Brand Faces to Watch 2023

“Gilda led a team of many designers, and it was a pleasure to be guided under her with her exceptional, creative skills and experience. She is quick on her feet and has a knack for finding the best solutions. With several responsibilities under her belt as a senior manager, she never cracked under pressure and was an inspiring mentor.

What makes her stand out as a leader is because she truly cares about her team and the business objectives, and knows how to communicate efficiently. She is also a fun personality to be around and boosts the morale of her team. Gilda will be a great asset to any flourishing entity, and I highly recommend considering her as a design leader in the future.”

Anil Nair | Digital Marketing Manager | RAKBANK

“Gilda have worked on some great initiatives for RAKBANK. Gilda is extremely talented and continuously researches market trends and ideas to ensure the output produced is state of the art. I have worked with Gilda on designs for mobile applications, websites and so much more. With her creative direction we achieved micro interactions on platforms and have completed projects before its deadline. She has the will to win and goes the extra mile to ensure business is satisfied. Gilda is an asset to any organization, and I wish her all the very best in her future endeavors.”
