Client Love

“When I came to Sara, I needed a full branding suite and website – like yesterday. She was so accommodating and really understood the feel for my company that I was trying to portray to my future clients. The branding came out incredible and I thought I couldn’t be happier,until I saw the website. Oh My Lord, WOW. It has truly made me feel like I have risen to a completely different level in business after she finished everything. It was worth every penny, because I know that future clients are going to look at my online presence and be as impressed with it as I am everyday.”

“Sara at Salted Ink went above and beyond when she built my brand. She truly takes the time to understand your vision and help turn it into something tangible. I would recommend her to anyone in need of business branding and web design… in fact I already have!”

Jess Reedy | Wilmington, NC
OWNER & INSTRUCTOR AT PINEAPPLE STUDIOS

“It was a pleasure to work with Sara at Salted Ink on my rebranding.  She presented unique, creative options and was incredibly supportive through the selection and refinement process.  Sara listened to all of my input and the end result is just perfect.  Saying she went above and beyond is an understatement.  I would absolutely recommend Sara to others and personally sought out her services for several follow up projects, to include a logo design for our annual showcase.  All experiences have been exceptional.  Thank you Sara!”

“My experience as a Salted Ink customer has been wonderful. I spoke with a number of designers before choosing Sara, and I knew immediately upon talking with her that she was the right fit! We knew from the get-go that my timeline was very aggressive, and Sara worked very hard to meet that deadline, often turning around same-day edits and fielding tons of questions, comments, and suggestions from me within hours. I felt like I was her only customer, though I know she was very busy with others as well.Perhaps most tellingly, I’ve gotten many compliments on my new brand and website, and have had people ask me to put them in touch with my designer- and I proudly recommend them to Salted Ink!”

OWNER + DESIGNER OF THE LITTLE THINGS

“This is now my 2nd time to work with Sara, and I can’t sing enough praises about her commitment and passion for branding your business! My husband and I were looking to rebrand our family business, and wanted a look that represented the year our company was formed, in 1937. Sara hit the nail on the head with creating a fresh look yet keeping with the simple, masculine, 1930s industrial factory feel that we desired for the business. We are BEYOND thrilled with our new branding package! Thanks again, Sara!”

“Last fall at the suggestion of my close friend and former Salted Ink client I reached out to Sara.  At the time I had previously been working with another local graphic designer. However, upon hiring them, I immediately started to feel like an inconvenience and burden rather than a valued client. This was the complete opposite to my encounter with Salted Ink.

I cannot sing enough praises for Sara.  She was kind, approachable, organized and patient but MOST of all extremely talented. As a designer myself I felt a lot of pressure in establishing my new full brand identity and I was not disappointed with hard work and talent of Salted Ink.  I am so grateful to Sara and Salted Ink and would recommend her to anyone who will listen.  Thank you Sara from the bottom of my heart!”

ALISSA L. MINEHART | Boston, MA
OWNER + DESIGNER OF LENORE INTERIOR DESIGN

“It was my first time working with a designer and I was nervous to say the least but as soon as I’d spoken to Sara my worries were swept away!  The whole process from our initial conversation through to the final designs was incredible and I was involved the whole way through – Sara’s level of organization and timing is exceptional and I always knew what stage we were at.  By thoughtfully combining the roots of our business with the beginning of a new chapter, Sara has created a beautiful new brand for us and I’m over the moon with the results.”

OWNER OF PURE THOUGHTS

In early 2002, with little more than a website and a name, ANATOMYBLUE entered into the marketplace offering medical illustration and animation services. In the years that followed ANATOMYBLUE would rely primarily on its moniker and body of work for brand recognition. Now, some fourteen years later, ANATOMYBLUE has a brand identity that truly embodies its values as a company, a brand identity that is authentic, sincere, and beautifully crafted. None of this would have been possible without the help of Salted Ink Digital Design Co. and its owner, Sara Marshall Dart.

Based in Charlotte, NC, Salted Ink is a graphic, print, and web design company. Salted Ink’s services include WordPress custom website design, hand lettering, and most notably, logo and brand design for companies of all sizes. But the true value in Salted Ink is knowing that you will be working directly with owner and designer, Sara Marshall Dart. Sara’s years of experience in business, marketing, and graphic design are clearly evident throughout the entire design process. Sara’s skills as a designer are eclipsed only by her humble and thoughtful attention to her clients, her work and her life.
