Client Testimonials

Bob ReidDirector of Planning, Kimmel Bogrette

Rosemarie used her excellent writing talents coupled with her in-depth knowledge of the architectural profession to work with me to create a well crafted article. She is very personable, listens well and is driven to meet deadlines successfully.

Stefa NormantasOwner, Philadelphia Furniture Show

Rosemarie is a genius. Smart, elegant with the pen and a pleasure to work with. She's persistent where needed, collaborative, and presents opportunities outside the scope of her work for the good of her clients. If you're reading this because you're thinking of hiring her...stop reading and hire her. She's a great asset to any project.

Joseph DonahueDirector of Marketing Communications at EwingCole

I have worked with Rosemarie for more than five years. In this time, Rosemarie has displayed an art for writing that is both absolute and thoughtful. As an added benefit, her sense of humor and easy-going personality have been much appreciated.

Fon Wang, AIA, LEED AP BD+CDirector of Historic Preservation at Ballinger

Rosemarie was instrumental in getting UCI’s name 'out there' in the design and building industry. She has suggested and implemented public relation strategies that are creative with measurable results. Best of all, we always have FUN working with Rosemarie.

Mimi Campbell LeitzelPrincipal at MCL Interiors LLC

Since I have worked with Rosemarie in the last year I have had magazine and newspaper articles published, met numerous local writers, committed to Linked in and Facebook as great resources, have four new clients and zero $$ on advertising. Thanks for the action and inspiration Rosemarie.

Paul SteinkeExecutive Director, Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia

We have engaged Rosemarie for several years running to write the program book and script for our annual Preservation Achievement Awards event. Rosemarie is an excellent writer with a strong ability to write on architecture, planning and historic preservation topics. She is also responsive, punctual and reliable. I would recommend her for any similar writing engagement without hesitation.

Kimberly MillerDirector of Design, Drexel University

Rosemarie did a wonderful job of herding cats to create a wonderful article about one of our new facilities at Drexel. She was patient, respectful but still on point to get the most out of a variety of sources. The article was well crafted and well received.

Dan WoffordStrategic Consultant, Bryn Mawr

I had the pleasure of working with Rosemarie over several years in my former capacity as a Senior Consultant to 10,000 Friends of PA. She assisted our leadership team in drafting the script and program book for the annual Commonwealth Awards for smart growth initiatives. Rosemarie was a joy to work with in every way. Dedicated, deadline-driven, collaborative, literate, insightful, with a great sense of humor: Each of the events on which we worked together were successful and immeasurably better because of her involvement. Simply said, she's a gem.

Rosemarie has the ability to identify people, publications and potential client outlets and make valuable connections and introductions.
