To find graphic designers who are not only talented at their craft, but who are also committed to making the world a better place was not easy. But we found it in Shirari Industries. Shira was not only flexible, knowledgeable, and responsive, she was also excited about our publication and this guided her to make it even better than we could have anticipated.
- Tara Mack and Bree Picower, Co-Editors of Planning to Change the World: A Planbook for Social Justice Teachers, produced by New York Collective of Radical Educators and the Education for Liberation Network

Thanks so much for tweeting our article… That is most useful… I also went to a Huffington Post article and posted a comment and link. 2 days later: www.huffingtonpost.com – So cool. I owe you more than one. With yours and others’ help about 20,000 copies of the page have been viewed plus lots of blogging/tweeting action plus all sorts of other stuff. Michael Pollan made it his last weekend’s tweet! We’ve had a great week. Thanks.
- Jonathan Latham, Executive Director, The Bioscience Resource Project, after a social networking consultation

It was a pleasure to work with an original, creative team that can support the vision of their clients and make that vision come to life. Thank you.
- Nikki Marron, Breakthrough

Ari is great to work with. As the executive director of a growing non-profit, I found that Ari responded to our needs with expert care, affordable solutions and out-of-the-box creativity. Ari has grown with freeDimensional to the degree that she is able to intuit its needs and positioning for growth in its next phase of development. She is also wonderful at assessing her own strengths and encouraging outsourcing when it will best benefit the overall project.
- Todd Lester, freeDimensional

The site is way cool. Thanks for all your work — word on the road has been great!
- Humorist Kate Clinton

Shira and Ari are able to conceive of an execute creative ideas throughout every step of the filmmaking process – from designing and authoring promotional materials for print and the web to cutting trailers to composing music. We considered Shirari to be an integral part of our film’s creative team and I would work with them again without hesitation on almost any part of a film’s creation.
- Filmmaker Beth Davenport, Arts Engine

Working with Shira has felt like a partnership between their business and our organization. She is invested in the work we do and remains committed to supporting our needs in a variety of ways – from illustration and design to leading a youth video workshop. Because she has experience in many of the facets of our work – curriculum, website, and youth development – she has an understanding of our goals, priorities, and resources that we would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. We have been particularly impressed with her commitment to helping our vision to take flight in a highly visual manner.
- Angela McGregor, Cornell University Garden-Based Learning Program

I have been getting great feedback from all involved on the site. The teachers are inspired to teach more… [Co-founder Dr. Allison Stern Rosen] is moved… the project is energized. Your work really helps us all see how much we have accomplished!
- Co-Founder Martha Eddy, Moving On Aerobics

I love the bunnies. Your bunny-instinct is impeccable. So, so cute.
- Writer Jonah Tully

Ari is a gift to any non-profit team that has a thousand things to do and no time to manage their website… Also, it was helpful to work with someone who believed in the mission of Right to Vote. Ari viewed her job as a contribution to our campaign, which motivated her to work hard and think creatively about how she could help us improve the way we get our message across.
- Community Activist Rupa Parekh, formerly of Right to Vote

You’ve really created a winner. Everyone that has seen [the illustration] loves it. Thanks again for such creative work!
- Corporate Relations Officer Daniel Whitman, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center

Oh my God! This is so exciting, we’re doing a dance in the office.
- Brenda Nieborsky, then the Associate Director of Scenarios USA
