Martha is truly the best! I've had the pleasure of working with her for years - and her creativity, quick work, attention to detail and professionalism is evident in everything she designs.

DreamYard Project

DreamYard has had the pleasure of working with Martha M. Dao for more than 14 years. It is one thing to say that a designer is creative and effective, which Martha is in abundance. It is another thing to say that a designer cares to really know the work and values of the organizations they are helping to represent; that is how we would characterize Martha, and why we feel so blessed to be working with her still after all of these years.

As a new organization, Martha's ability to turn our vision into a reality that surpassed our expectations, really made our office space come to life!

We couldn't be more happier with the product and installation!

We cannot say enough good things about working Martha. She is always willing to go above and beyond the project requirements to make the designs perfect. All we have to do is give her an idea and sit back and let her work her magic. Her sense of composition, style and color is that of a true artist. She also has the ability to know almost instantly what the client needs and this has been instrumental in helping grow business (it also doesn't hurt that she is a lovely person too!). I highly recommend Martha for any type of design work.

Clinical Illustrations

The ability to translate a scientific concept into an illustration is a gift given to Martha M. Dao from MMD Graphic+ WEB Design. Martha was my illustrator in a book on clinical medicine that I authored. I recommend Martha M. Dao to all who are looking for a beautiful expression of art from science. Her ability to grasp clinical concepts into illustration is superb and the product suitable for teaching.

Teabags for Teacups

Martha Marina loves what she does and immerses herself completely in every job she undertakes. MM treats all her projects equally; no client is more important than another and no project is too minor to take on. She is up-to-date professionally and immensely creative; thus, her presentations are always unique and original. As is to be expected, she listens carefully to her clients’ description of the end product they envision; she also has the unique ability to “read”, to intuit, unexpressed handicaps or doubts. It’s worthwhile mentioning that MM is also mindful of costs!

American Express

Martha Marina, I consider myself lucky to have found you to help me out with this project. It was the first time I was responsible for a project of this scope and had no idea where to begin. Once I briefed you, you told me that I could forget about everything. I literally did! You not only worked on the design work, but also managed the printing, installation and all the vendors involved.

It is not only for your professionalism, and your attitude towards your work, for which I am grateful, but also your timing. I had an impossible deadline to meet and if I hadn't been working with you I know I could not have reached. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your dedication on this project. I also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to pass along all the positive feedback I received from your work. Not only did all the team members congratulate me on the great job portraying our brand, but the president for the Business Travel Division for American Express, personally came to tell us that it was a job well done!

Again, thank you very much for surpassing everybody's expectations.
