"Mary is an extraordinary designer with a graphic eye like no one that I have met before. Although she is extremely creative, she is also able to work within very strict parameters when it comes to corporate initiatives and projects. She is someone who I look forward to working with again at some point in my career."
Marketing Director at Kenney & Associate
"Mary did a fabulous job overhauling and redesigning the large and content-heavy site for Parents magazine. Not only did she come up with terrific design concepts and site architecture, but she was also a delight to work with - always pleasant and professional."

"I just wanted to write a note saying how happy I am with what Mary Blackstock has done. I have seen the layout (of the promotional piece), and I want you to know that I think that Mary did an amazing job at designing this newspaper (for the P.S. 1 Museum Exhibition). It fits right in with the show. I think that this newspaper is an important and exciting document and I am very proud to have it accompany this exhibition. And again, congratulations to Mary for a job very well done."
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
Writer, Art Historian and Curator
"Mary Blackstock has to be one of the most elegant and stylish designers working today. The artistic sense she brought to the British Airways promotional tour enhanced the already refined essence of the BA corporate brand by adding a playful sophistication. She somehow even made supersonic jet technology look beautiful! Her thoughtful and clever designs were true crowd-pleasers, captivating the imagination of thousands of guests to the exhibition. Her work is nothing short of breath-taking. For projects requiring grace, beauty, style and wit - my first call is always to Mary."
Paul Malmont
Creative Consultant
"Mary Blackstock is always the first designer I call. Her work is fresh, uncluttered, and sophisticated. More importantly, she is a master at taking a client's communication problem and not only solving it but somehow turning it into a strong visual success in the design. And she's always a pleasure to work with!"
Audrey Herbst
Executive Producer
"Mary created my logo, website, and business stationary. She is creative, dependable, and wonderful to work with."
