Truly flattering acclaim from those I respect...
Clients and colleagues talk about D'Angelo Design.
When I think back on all of the incredible professionals that I’ve learned from, worked for and collaborated with, I am in awe. The successes I’ve achieved in my career are largely due to the great people I’ve been able to surround myself with. I’ve found it important to identify toxic relationships; avoid those, as well as recognize healthy, inspiring relationships; cherish those and guard them well.
In this business, few are shy about speaking about work they love or hate. There’s never a lack of opinions or comments. I try very hard to find constructive nuggets from negative feedback and make a concerted effort to celebrate the praises in positive ones. It’s especially rewarding to receive kudos from great professionals who really know the industry, the effort and the challenge that the solution has risen from. I do not take any of these testimonials for granted. I worked hard to earn them and I greatly value the sincerity of those who took the time to comment on my work.
If you have something to say about my work – whether it’s positive or negative, I encourage you to the comment feature found all over this site (bottom). I’m happy to answer any questions and write endorsements for clients and colleagues.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all who have enriched my career, helped me grow, learn, develop, lead and win. I value the relationships with all those (to the right) and wish them continued success in their careers.

During my last job, as Director of Admissions at The Charles Finney School we hired Matt D’Angelo to redesign our logo and create a new look for the school’s brand. He did a superlative job that communicated our identity well. In addition, he was great to work with and was available for followup whenever needed.
D. Ross | The Charles Finney SchoolWe greatly appreciate your time and patience with us. We are very pleased with the work you have done with our new brand logo and website. We are excited to unveil our new website and have a pretty big plan in place to get our new logo out there. On behalf of everyone on our Board of Directors, thank you.
D. Drachenberg, Jr. | Everyone’s Theatre Company, Inc.Matt took some terrific professional photos for people I work with. He helped them to relax and captured their personalities very well. He even touched up one (subtlely) resulting in the first smiling portrait ever of one friend.
K. Kessler | Mercury Opera RochesterJust wanted to let you know that the look/feel of the site is really sticking with me. That’s a very good sign for me. Great job. I am quite excited. The new Stratmosphere design is awesome!

H. Campo | First American Equip. FinanceBeth, my congratulations to you, Matt and Fred on another outstanding job. I don’t know how you do it, but every year you and the team manage to frame and report out our activities in a most interesting and, dare I say, award-winning way. The photos, text, graphics, testimony, etc. far exceeded expectations. The Annual Report is an important internal document. Our stakeholders and policy makers need to see that progress is being made towards achieving our goals. This year’s report does that in a most pleasant and professional way.
