TESTIMONIAL
“Over the past 20 years of our business and personal association, Dawn has served many roles in my world, among them creative director, leader, mentor. Since founding TandemDSN, she has been my go-to marketing and creative resource and helped me juggle all the balls of marketing communications. From print and digital design to tradeshows and events and so much more, TandemDSN was a partner I could truly rely on. As Tandem’s principal, Dawn is easygoing, yet extremely professional, offering a wealth of insight and intuition into every project. The combination of creative acumen and technical expertise Dawn offers is what TandemDSN is all about.”
