Testimonials

“Working with Kyle has been one of the most empowering experiences I have had as a business owner. He is excellent at helping you determine ‘how’ to think about your brand, not necessarily ‘what’ to think. I love that.”

— Justin Marcis, Founder, Windy City Strength & Conditioning

“Kim and Kyle created a new visual identity for our commercial photography business which elevated our brand in unique, unexpected ways that far exceeded our expectations. In addition, they helped us create printed mail promos that allowed us to stand out in a saturated industry. Knoed’s thoughtful process made for a very personal experience.”

— Steve & Anne Truppe, Founders, Tru Studio

“Kyle gets it. He took a thoughtful approach from day one and never let up as he brought the branding to life. When I come to work everyday, I’m reminded how focused he was on building something with heart. It makes me smile just thinking about it and I’m grateful.”

— Scott Perin, Founder, Totto's Market

“I had the pleasure of working with Kyle at Omega Yeast. I was on the research and development side making very sciencey products for craft breweries. I loved how Kyle could take these concepts and apply eye-catching and playful branding to them, all while keeping the science front and center. Kyle's work was instrumental in the launch and success of our educational newsprint and online publication, Top Crop. Here Kyle's visual design elements helped make complex topics very approachable. He also was a huge help with the design elements for our educational presentations. Outside of his talents in design and branding, Kyle's professional approach to everything including project management and cross-department communications made everyone's life a little easier.”

— Laura Burns, Director of R&D

"Working with Kyle was a fantastic experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide into the world of design. Not only was his mentorship instrumental to my growth as a designer, his leadership fostered a positive and collaborative work environment which made coming to work everyday exciting. He expertly balanced providing me with the space and inspiration necessary for creativity while also knowing precisely when to step in and provide a timely nudge if I was stuck. He’s an amazing designer and an even better dude, and I’m so grateful for our time working together."

— Dexter Stevens, Designer at Quarrelsome Coffee

“Kyle not only crafted beautiful works of art for us with his innate (and insane) talents but always did so in the most friendly, professional, and humble manner. He took the time and patience to get to know us and understand our business so that they were able to perfectly bring our values, voice, and personality visually to life. We absolutely could not be happier having worked with Kyle.”

— Mark Schwarz, Co-Founder, Omega Yeast Labs

“Knoed is not only thorough and extremely efficient, but the amount of detail that they put into conceptualizing my vision to reality was insanely accurate and spot on. I am beyond ecstatic with the final results of my branding that I would never ever consider working with anyone else.”

“Working with Kyle on Omega Yeast and Top Crop projects was a joy. We had an open, collaborative working relationship and I was eager to bounce my ideas off him, as I really value Kyle's perspective and experience and felt valued in turn. As a writer I feel more capable of communicating my design ideas and needs thanks to Kyle's guidance while we worked together.”


— Shana Solarte, Writer, Top Crop

“Omega Yeast began working with Kyle in 2017 and his work on our new brand identity instantly made a difference in how we were perceived. To this day, we still regularly receive compliments on our branding from customers and vendors at trade shows and industry events and Kyle was instrumental in making that happen. Kyle joined the company in 2021 as Director of Brand Design and ably led a small team in innovative design solutions and strategic direction. He could be counted on to regularly meet project deadlines and achieve any business goals we set out. In his time at Omega, Kyle was also able to mentor less experienced members of the team and help them with their own professional development. In the time that Kyle worked with Omega Yeast, revenues more than doubled. Kyle can be trusted to elevate your brand and make sure you're noticed.”


— Lance Shaner, Co-Founder, Omega Yeast Labs

“Kyle brings an energy that makes working with him both productive and enjoyable. His creativity knows no bounds, always pushing the envelope to make the workspace more dynamic and engaging. Kyle’s passion for innovation and his commitment to fostering a positive and fun atmosphere make him a truly exceptional asset to any team. I would highly recommend Kyle for any future opportunities. His unique blend of leadership, creativity, and empathy makes him a standout professional who consistently elevates both his team and the organization as a whole.”
