“2 Peas in an iPod

I have had the privilege to work with Brenda and Tamara now for almost a year and it has been a great collaboration. I began providing illustration services to lend a hand on a large GPS landmark illustration project and after what was a very long and, at times, grueling project, great success came and a new working relationship blossomed.

Since early 2008, I have been formally contracted as a designer and artist to provide assistance on everything from large multi-page brochures to quick logo jobs on the fly. Both Brenda and Tamara have great, lovable personalities and a strong understanding of the field, such that they are able to work closely with me and help me to fully understand the needs of each client.

I love my working relationship with those two and enjoy the projects they give me. It's funny because no matter how crazy a project may become at times, I feel at peace if I receive the work from them. I guess it's because I don't feel like I'm on my own.”

“I began working with Brenda and Tamara in early 2007. It has been and continues to be such a joyous adventure working closely with the bright and energetic pair.

Syntric Design & October17Media have a lot of potential and are both growing rapidly. Apart from the excellent work being done, I believe the true reason for their success is the love and dedication from the two leading ladies.

For someone who is hardworking, ambitious, has a willingness to learn, and of course, can laugh - working with Brenda and Tamara is what one dreams for. I am grateful to be apart of the team behind the scenes and to work with such compassionate, fun, friendly and responsible women.”

October 17 Media hired me in 2008 as a contract web designer and after having tackled numerous projects with them, I have to say it's been quite a pleasure working with the wonderful ladies who run the company.

Oct17 partners Brenda and Tamara are extremely personable, professional and pleasant to work with. Their projects are organized, well thought-out and handed to me in a timely manner - and if I have any questions (which I usually do!) they are always willing to provide as much information as I need.

Their success in this highly competitive industry is a testament to the way they run their business: always professional, and always setting the highest standards. That's how I work too, and its why we work so well together.
