Working with Barb Murphy has been the most powerful change we 
have made at Curt's Café. From idea generating, to one on one customer service, to cost savings ideas and revisioning I have said WOW to everything she has designed!   
I had not worked with a design firm for many years and remembered having challenges sharing my vision and needs and ending up with something far different. With Barbara, I have been amazed at how she
not only listens to my vision and my proposed outcome but delivers something far better than I could have even verbalized!
