What our clients say

Many of our clients are repeats, which is the highest compliment. Providing my skills to those working to make the world a better place is my soul work.
​With appreciation - Carla / Serenity Communications

It takes a special ear and patience to create a successful design for a group of 25 opinionated elders. Our writers’ group in Vancouver B.C. recently had Carla design the cover for our latest anthology. Working with her was wonderful. She listened carefully to our ideas, gave us options, and followed up with all our requests and refinements for the one we selected. We are very pleased with the results and have gotten many positive comments on the design.
- Don Martin, Co-editor

Not many people have a gift of presence, but Carla does. Even in the midst of chaos, confusion and discombobulation, Carla brings focus and clarity. She is able to communicate both affirmation and concerns with clarity and compassion. You can trust and count on Carla's skills as a communicator.
- Tom Klaus, President

Carla/Serenity Comms responded to my needs immediately, and more importantly, thoughtfully and accurately.
Carla is a joy to work with! Highly, highly recommended.
- Daliah Lugo-Auffant, JD

Carla was able to transform my thoughts and ideas into the perfect book cover and layout. She took the time necessary to create something special and did not hesitate to make adjustments as needed. Carla's dedication to the craft is clearly demonstrated through her professionalism and products. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.
- TR Fuller, author​

As an author, I wanted the very best look and book design possible for my new novel, String Theories. Carla found two of the best photographs I could imagine for the book's cover and perfectly overlaid them, laying text over them in eye-stopping ways. The interior pages of the book are spot-on perfect. She knows design beauty, the intricate details of designing books for publication, and she was happily and readily available for consultation. Design, attention to detail, commitment, on schedule, on budget, and a joy to work with.

What a beautiful, meaningful website Carla created for AIO’s weekend backpack program!  Not only does she have an excellent eye for what works on a page, she immersed herself in our mission, checked the facts, and suggested ways to tell our story of hungry children with clarity and feeling.  We are so grateful that we found her.
- Sherry Cobb, President

Carla is incredibly attentive, efficient, hands on, and available at the ready. Our company is fast paced, with narrow windows of time to bang out our marketing materials. Carla is fantastic with deadlines and reminds us of them, rather than vice versa! A total treat.
- Amy White Graves, Executive Director

Carla's life journey has prepared her to guide organizations to grow into their vision and mission. With her quiet wisdom and strength in her leading hand, she helped our organization to find its path to continue to serve youth in the state of Massachusetts.  She helped us to re-define our purpose and build upon the programmatic and policy work Mass Alliance has been doing for the past 38 years.  All of us are re-committed to self-empower youth, support organizations and youth providers  and mobilize communities to change the context where youth live, work and play so they can have a better and healthier future.
- Myriam Hernandez Jennings, Executive Director

Serenity Communications provided me with a powerful marketing tool that will be invaluable to me in the near and distant future. Carla's vision matched my own with little to no input from me. Her creativity and eye for detail are impeccable!

Carla helped us at a critical juncture in our website development.  Under tight constraints of a limited budget and pressing deadline, she was able to offer us possibilities and solutions that fit our needs and goals.  She understood our priorities and the message we wanted to convey.  Carla is a pleasure to work with, good at listening and patient with the seeming vagaries of our staff input and always responded promptly to our questions and concerns.   We’re delighted with our final product and grateful for her expertise that made it possible.

Carla created exactly the products we needed to promote Healthy Aging policies, information, and community outreach. The messages she developed are still used by the agency. Carla contributed significantly to strengthening the Health Department's relationships with racial and ethnic minority populations, particularly Latino and Native American communities.

Serenity Communications has provided Street Roots with excellent and timely designs to support the work that we are doing. The images are powerful, eye-catching and sensitive, and the complex messages and data are delivered in a way our diverse audiences can understand. We are thrilled with the work they've provided to the organization.
