I trust her with helping me tell our story. She can take our random scribbles on a piece of paper and help me take it to a fully completed project, or whatever we want to do. Anyone who can do that is a miracle worker.

My experience working with Leng has been exceptional.  I have been part of small business for over 10 years and the common issue I run into with marketing companies is too general of an approach.  I have a unique product and most companies have not taken the time to understand my unique selling position.  Leng spent time listening and asking relevant questions so she understood what I want to accomplish and what hurdles I am having in route to that goal.  She not only gave me multiple solutions to those issues, she has been instrumental in helping me organize my efforts when things seem chaotic.  We are still in the early stages of our work together but I am thankful that I have her on my team and look forward to continuing to learn from her vast marketing expertise.

Leng and her team at Akili design produced some beautiful work definitely surpassing my expectations which were already high!  Her work was always on time and her flexibility with last minute changes kept things very stress-free. Loved the online portal she has set up. I could send her material 24 hours a day and know that she got it. Just fantastic. I would personally recommend talking to Leng about any web design or other web based issue that you have.
