Testimonials

Donna Jackson is a remarkable Artist, Curator and Community Partner. Her keen insight into design helps to highlight the beauty, cultural value and complexity of issues communities live with every day. Through her work we are able to see each other clearer and connect better.

Stephanie Johnson-Cobb | Chair, Citizenship for Health Resident Committee |HOPE Village Revitalization

 

Donna Jackson not only has a keen eye for design, from art installations to websites, she also has a desire to uplift her community. After seeing the web design work Donna did for an outdoor community art festival, I quickly hired her to do website and graphic design contract work. She not only shares her creativity, which continues to boost marketing for the business, she’s also become a friend. Donna’s creativity and constant support of the Detroit art community, truly sets her apart from others.

Rebecca P. Wenglinski | Director of Marketing and Business Development
Kerr, Russell and Weber, PLC

I've had the pleasure of working with Donna Jackson on number art and design related projects. Donna has an "X" factor that serves her well in her art and design projects. She is blessed with God-given natural creative talents that when combined with technical training skills allows Donna to take ideas and concepts, and transform them into artistic visual designs that capture the heart and mind.  Donna's design work has the touch of intentionality that forces you to look closer between the margins, deep into the colors, and to read between the lines. To examine Donna's artworks and design concepts is to appreciate the mixed messaging she often embeds in her work. What makes Donna's art and design work uniquely hers is her imagination and ability to generously give everything she has as if it's the last project. 

David Rudoph | Senior Managing Partner | D. Ericson & Associates Public Relations

 

Donna is a amazing creative, curator, culture producer, and community gem. The way she connects people to people and people to art feeds the spirit of the city.

Asia Hamilton | Founder and Director | Norwest Gallery of Arts
