I had the pleasure of working with Ann Zeak for five years at Simon & Schuster Publishing, Inc., where I was an Executive Art Director in the Children’s Division.
I hired Ann as a cover and interior Designer; she was my very first hire when I began my career at S&S. From day one, Ann proved to be an invaluable asset to me and our entire team.
Ann is a multi-talented designer, possessing an innate sense for typography and an excellent eye for color. Ann’s a phenomenal multi-tasker and cool under pressure. She was one of my "go-to” designers for series branding. Two of her standout series are “The Romantic Comedies,” (over a dozen still in print I believe), and “The Seven Deadly Sins” (seven books in total). Ann’s editors were always ecstatic with the end result and routinely commented that collaborating with Ann was enjoyable and productive.
I’m so happy to highly recommend Ann for any creative position she seeks.

I hired Ann Zeak to initially create a postcard mailing design to promote our boutique hotel in Key West, FL. She was able to capture the unique spirit of Key West while understanding the needs of our business. The postcard was so lovely that many of our guests considered it a keepsake! From that point, Ann expanded her services to our branding and merchandising. I can’t recommend her enough.

As an alternative healer, it's not easy to communicate the unique services I provide. But Ann took the time to speak with me and really understand what I do. When she showed me the design options for a type logo, then brochure and website design,
I was very impressed with how she captured the feel of my work and the relationships I have with my clients. Even my clients and colleagues would comment on how they loved the look and feel of my website. Ann is an excellent listener and a gifted graphic designer. I highly recommend her.
