Client Testimonials

  • I myself have very scattered thoughts during creative periods such as when I need web design. Michael Scotellaro was able to decipher my thoughts inspirations, handle my many micro decisions, then he would organize and develop the message I wanted to convey, resulting in wonderful websites time and time again.

    Jeffrey Q.
  • "For more than twenty five years Mike has been a close friend and vital part of working with Road Recovery and with the Papa John Creach team, handling all graphic and art details from concept to print.

    Gene Bowen
  • I have had the opportunity to work with Mike for over 20 years now on various projects from graphic design to full blown web sites.

    He brings to the table an experience and ability to listen that transcends the usual challenge of sharing creative ideas and has the ability to see and create what you want beyond what you often ask him to do.

    I always look forward to our next project and would welcome Mike on my team any time I am lucky enough to get his time and energy.
