kind words

It was a treat to have someone help ME in a similar way to how I help my clients. Pat truly amazed me with her ability to create my brand beautifully – it was like watching all the puzzle pieces come together into a picture more beautiful than I could have ever imaged alone...Everything is beautiful, full of heart, and reflects the love I have for my clients, my business, and the amazing people I get to meet along the way. How did I get so lucky??? Thank you! My heart is SO full!

- Camille Plummer, Founder & Lead Coordinator, JunePlumm Events

Ginny was not lying when she said you are a magical unicorn. I love its, everything I imagined and more. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! ... It was me, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. In the end, rebranding gave me exactly what I was looking for, the hope!! It gave me a confidence boost and a professional and beautiful business.

- Liz Brunswick, Life Coach

Patricia from Fancy Girl Designs exceeded my expectations more than I could have imagined. She took the ideas in our head and made into a beautiful website. In addition to that, she also a made our new logo which I feel totally represents us now in a modern way. So excited!!

Reasons Why I Would Hire Patricia 1,000+ more times

I reached out to Patricia to have her create my photography company’s new logo. Admittedly, I was hesitant to have someone outside of my company handle our branding but her incredible website and on-point Instagram intrigued me.

Patricia was super responsive and even better - she was excited to work with us. Having another person enthusiastic about your company’s branding is invaluable. The positive energy enabled us to reach new creative heights with Patricia leading the way.

Here are 3 reasons why I recommend Patricia:

1. She’s a problem solver: Working together, Patricia helped us better articulate what our brand stood for and helped us solve/figure out what we wanted for the brand’s look/tone/feel. She had the creative eye that we were missing.
2. She’s an expert: Results matter. Patricia delivered world-class creative artwork on-point and on-time.
3. She just… ‘Gets It’: Ever connect with someone and think… “Wow! This person just gets it!”? That’s Patricia. You’ll see what I mean after an email exchange with her. She truly partnered with us as if she was an extension of our company providing valuable insights - not an order taker.

- Mary Parkhill, Photographer, Mary's Mark

Working with Pat was nothing short of incredible. I've worked with her on multiple occasions and wouldn't dream of going to anyone else for a flawless web design experience. Not only did she curate a site that grew-up with me, but she was able to take my jumbled ideas and execute them to a tee, adding in additional features I didn't know to ask for. Truly a lovely experience!

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work — I finally feel like this is the year I'm coming into everything I've been working so hard for. You're an amazing part of that + I feel so grateful to have you in my corner. You are a magic web design superstar + I've never been happier with a website in my life."

- Kayli Schattner, Podcast host, blogger, and social media manager

I wanted to tell you that I have had so much positive feedback about my website. Nothing but high praise for the design and layout. I hear often how beautiful,professional and fresh it looks. So a huge thank you and I hope more business comes your way because of it. I just love it and feel so proud of it 🙂

"You're so amazing! Thank you so much for capturing my vision. Your patience, advice, and direction was invaluable!"

- Nicole Kwarteng, Event Planner, MaggieRose Events

Thank you so much Pat! You did an awesome job!  You brought my vision to reality and I will forever be thankful to you!

- Kimberly Butler, Founder of Butler Catering 

I really, truly can’t thank you enough.  I feel so polished, and professional, and proud.  I’m so grateful for you and your talent!!!

- Elizabeth A. Wright, Owner and Lead Coordinator of Elizabeth a. Wright Events

Patricia Alix-Villa, founder of Fancy Girl Design Studio, is a dream come true! Within minutes of inquiry about designing a new website, she responded and the new site was underway! I was so excited, and Patricia knew exactly how to capture my vision. When she showed me the first test copy of the site, I cried! It was 100 times more beautiful that I even imagined. She captured the essence and the emotion of what I do as a wedding designer & planner. I will be forever grateful. She was super fast, and we were in communication during the whole process. It was a piece of cake! I highly recommend her talent to everyone. The response I am already receiving on my website has doubled my business for 2018! I owe my success to her creativity and true talent. I cannot thank her enough!

- Rackel Gehlsen, Owner of Rackel Gelsen Weddings

I absolutely adore working with Patricia! Working with her on the Haute Stock monthly Graphics Packs is always a blast, so when it came time to create new branding for Haute Stock - she was my only choice! Patricia understood my vision from the start and worked with me to refine the concept. I am so thankful to Patricia for taking the initial ideas and creating a sleek and elegant look for my brand!

-Rachel Rouhana, Founder of Haute Stock

Pat was the no nonsense, get it done and make it look fabulous person I need in my life. Pat understood my love of color, shapes and sparkle right off the bat. Pat is patient like no one I have ever known. I would send her detailed emails about tiny changes I needed to see and magically, she made them happen. Every logo she showed me could have been “the one”. With every new design I was more and more in love with the way my website looked.

On December 2, 2017 the website and re-brand finally went live and within a week I had booked my biggest client to date. I give all the kudos to Ginny and Pat for putting up with me over 5 months. Thank you! I am so grateful that they came into my life when they did. If you need to re-brand, hire them!!

- Holly Gray, found of Anything But Gray Events

If any entrepreneur is out there and you are on the fence about hiring Pat of Fancy Girl Designs, listen to that inner voice that is telling you to do it. When I reached out to Pat I had just finished working with a copywriter and I had increased my rates for my services but there was still a great disconnect. The disconnect was that the visual aspect of my brand was lacking and far off base from what my company is about and the visual aesthetic of what I knew our ideal client would expect to see upon landing on our website. The big grey area didn't give me the confidence and clarity that I needed in taking my growing business to the next level. I needed my website to speak to my client and if I was had put all this other hard work into my business with identifying my target client and creating compelling copy that whistled in my clients ears then I also needed a website that with be the gleam in my clients' eyes and Pat of Fancy Girl Designs was just that and more.

I love my website, it's romantic, timeless and east to navigate. She made the process so easy. She was always responsive, I never had to worry about what was going on in my project because she always made me aware of next steps. Once my website was ready and I had questions on some of the mechanics of using my new platform she was right there to walk me through it. She even was able to connect me with a invaluable resource that converted years of my blogs from another website host that I was leaving and coming to WordPress. All these things took away the anxiety I had about changing platforms. Pat designed my logo and website and I couldn't be more pleased. I am proud of my company and our brand image, no more website shame for me. Thanks so much Pat, you impacted my business success more than you could ever know.

- Shaun Cox, Owner of Cue The Champagne Event Planning and Design

Patricia is a lady of endless talents and a joy to work with. She is tremendously creative and with her intuitive design genius she transformed my ideas (chaotic at times) into designing my logo and creating a dreamy website that truly reflected my business and personal approach. Patricia really listens and always responded immediately to my requests, no matter how trivial! l loved Patricia's professionalism and gentle guidance, along with her support throughout the design process, which she made remarkably easy. A refreshingly modest and very talented lady who is great at what she does. l am so glad l found her and l can’t recommend her highly enough.

Thank you again Patricia for my beautiful logo and website - l loved working with you.

- Karen Hesmondhalgh - Fine Wedding Photography, Manchester UK

Patricia is an absolute dream to work with on the branding of your company. Sheis professional and beyond responsive. At first my husband had reservations with me working with someone I had not met before, however, I received more communication from Patricia than people I see everyday! She is responsive, timely, and amazingly creative. When I came to Fancy Girl Designs Studio, I had a small vision for my logo. Patricia went above and beyond and not only expanded on my vision but provided a clear concept for my vision in addition to recommending several marketing strategies. I, without any hesitation, would recommend Fancy Girl Studios to anyone and everyone. You will not find a company that is more responsive, dedicated to your bringing your vision to life, and professional.

Patricia, I cannot than you enough!

Tifanie Owens- In the Details by Tifanie

This was the second website I have worked with Patricia to help me create and the experience was even better than the first. Her attention to detail is incredible and her intention to create something that truly has the owners voice, appearance, and pulse is amazing. When you look at my site, you see me, my brand, and my way of sharing love stories with my clients. Patricia is who made that possible. I never felt like I could not reach her and our schedules actually worked out well, I work late at night and she works early in the morning and with the time difference, it meant we were working at the same time! I know that I can always lean on her to help me solve a design question, add on, make changes without feeling like I am asking too much. Patricia is patient and honest. I could not have asked for more!

- Adair Curie - Dairing Events, Dairing Bride Academy

Patricia brought my dream website to life! For months I had been thinking about all the possibilities of what a new website could look like. I came to her with a brain dump of ideas and she made my site better than I could have imagined. Within less than a week of launching it my conversions have already highly increased. I'm now confident to send people to my website because I know it is a proper reflection of who I am and the quality of work I do for my clients!

I just want to set aside some time and appreciation for my amazingly talented web and brand designers Ginny and Pat from Fancy Girl Design Studio. I gotta’ rave about these ladies! Everything that I had envisioned and dreamed of for my brand came alive. #truestory sometimes I just log into my dashboard and stare at the beautiful screen that I get to call my “home page.” I truly love every bit of it!

The Fancy Girls are a full package. What they achieved with my web and brand design is at a level I never could have dreamed up on my own. My website was an investment into my business. I wanted a presence that was undeniably professional and evoked a sweet and tender emotion with my target client. Ginny and Pat achieved that emotion. If you’re still hunting for a designer please check these ladies out!

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for my beautiful blog design. It's truly exactly what I've always wanted and it's made a huge difference to me. I feel more confident as a blogger. I now "know" myself better as a blogger. You were patient and super kind! Just wanted to say how much I appreciate it. Everyone gushes about my new blog! 

Hope to work together again in the future!

I absolutely ADORE what you've done so thank you so very much. You've been so patient with me and I really appreciate it. You totally ROCK with bells on!!! 🙂

- Natalie McKenzie-Brown, McKenzie-Brown Photography

I absolutely loved working with Patricia. I hired her to design my website and much to my surprise she nailed my vision on the very first try! I couldn't believe how she was able to pull everything together and create something that was so me. Not only do I love my website and branding, but communicating with her was also such a joy. She was easy to work with and her process is great for anyone no matter what their skill level may be when it comes to understanding the web design process. I have since hired her to update my logo and to do custom illustrations for me as well, all of which I was so pleased with! I highly recommend her for anyone needing design services.

- Ginny Krauss, The Wedding Concierge

Hi Patricia,  I would like to express my utmost gratitude for the fabulous new logo design, business cards, letterhead, website and blog design.  All I can say is WOW, you exceeded my expectations and for that I will always be grateful!  It was truly a pleasure to work you, you're very professional and Oh So Fancy!

- Marshecka Rodgers, Events Planner, Chique Weddings & Events

Everyday I am falling in love with my logo, website all over again. I was a bit hesitant in changing my previous logo, but when the first designs came out, I knew I made the perfect decision in changing it and keeping an overall feel and look for my branding that represented not only my ideal clients, but myself. She took all the elements that I was looking for in a logo, and created the unexpected. She is super fast, patient and talented.

When we moved on to the website portion of things, she had the patience to answer all my questions, and the patience to wait on me to come up with contents. She created something beyond my wildest dreams, that I am so proud of. Every time I wanted to change something, she created a solution, as I absolutely love her promptness, her knowledge. I completely trusted her as I did not have to explain myself, as she totally understood what I was looking for. I trusted her in knowing that her recommendations were the best for the overall look. I seriously don't have enough words to tell you how grateful I am to have found her, as this process was worth the investment. Every time I pass out my cards, every time people ask who did my website, I get a sense of love that I would love to share with the world, and that love, Patricia gave me. So saying thank you yesterday, today, tomorrow might never be enough on truly knowing how thankful I am to have found someone as wonderful as Patricia. The experience was truly wonderful!

-Georgette Casimir, Events Planner, Pea to Tree Events

Pat... surpassed my expectations. I have to say I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew exactly what I didn’t want, and Ginny was able to help me communicate that. She was also able to help me learn what I did want and help be the buffer between Pat and myself. Ginny was also a gem with helping me put myself out there to the world to help people know that these changes were coming.

I haven’t trusted anyone so deep, so much, with anything in my business before. And I am thrilled to death with my results. I am so happy I have met them, and I hope one day to meet them in person, in the future. I would love for them to see this big cheesy smile of mine and feel my big hug of gratitude for all that they have poured into me. As happy as I am that all that I wanted with this project has come to fruition, I am sad that it is over. I will truly miss working with these ladies so closely.

"The logo design created by Patricia truly incorporated all the characteristics requested and the final result went above my expectation. Her skills, creativity and vision are simply amazing. Patricia was extremely patient and caring during all the process that I highly recommend working with her as she will do her best to make your vision come true as she did in my case!

- Nikolina Silva, Splendida Weddings

Pat is an unusually gifted artist. OMG, she taught herself programming code!!! What wife and mother does that??? I have never before seen such a combination of speed, professionalism, accuracy, instinct and beautiful work.  Just look through her portfolio if you don't believe me.

Thank you to Ginny Krauss of The Wedding Concierge for the amazing branding strategy she provided and to Patricia Alix-Villa of Fancy Girl Design Studio for creating a dreamy website that's perfectly me!
