  • Rimona is a highly skilled copywriter, designer, and creative director.

    In our time working together, Rimona supported our company in integral ways. As a creative director, their expertise in both written and visual realms makes them a sure success no matter the company or campaign. They blew clients away with the finely-tuned details of their brand guides, their ability to work within the constraints of budget and vision, and their immaculate workflow in support of robust brand strategies.

    Simply put, Rimona has a rare blend of skillsets. They're an invaluable addition to any creative team.

    -Erik Croswell, Founder and Director, Bridge City Media

  • Rimona is an incredibly talented graphic designer who possesses an unparalleled creative vision and a keen eye for detail.

    I had the pleasure of working with Rimona to develop our company’s first brand guide. From the moment we engaged in our initial discussions, it was evident that Rimona deeply understood my project's objectives and was passionate about delivering outstanding results. They would ask thoughtful questions to ensure they fully grasped the essence of my vision and pushed me to deepen my understanding of my own brand.

    Throughout the design process, Rimona demonstrated their expertise by consistently delivering high-quality work that exceeded my expectations. Their ability to transform my abstract concepts into visually captivating designs was truly impressive. They skillfully combined colors, typography, and imagery to create a cohesive and compelling visual identity for our company’s brand. Their attention to detail was evident in every project deliverable, ensuring pixel-perfect precision and seamless integration across various platforms and media.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Rimona to anyone in need of a talented graphic designer who can bring their creative visions to life. Their exceptional skills, unwavering dedication, and genuine passion for design make them an invaluable asset to any project.

  • I cannot recommend working with Rimona enough.

    They were prompt, understood and respected our vision for our project. They are incredibly professional and talented. We could not be more thrilled with the final product and will be using Mo again for future projects!

    -Morgan Grover, Development Associate, Call to Safety

  • I feel certain that working with Rimona was an critical part of being hired for my first arts administration job.

    I asked Rimona for their feedback on my cover letter and resume because of their writing experience and knowledge about navigating the professional sphere. Rimona was collaborative, imaginative and helped me craft an elevated and engaging cover letter. Reading back my own cover letter after their edits helped build my own confidence in how to present myself in my job search.

    I would highly recommend any emerging young professional, particularly those in the arts or non profit sphere, to reach out to Rimona for their expertise and guidance.

  • Thank you, Mo, for creating a logo that really captured the essence of my brand and identity as an artist. 

    I am grateful to see my Armenian ancestry showcased with Armenian lettering in my logo, and the wheel of eternity. The eye-catching colors and nostalgic feel of 90s Armenian branding with a modern twist is beyond what I could even imagine. As a diasporan artist whose Armenian father and his father owned businesses, the logo gives me a sense of pride in my business and my family's history of working class, small business owners. I am so in love with the identity you helped create my vision and brand as an artist. Thank you Mo jan! Your talent and skill are gifts to our communities!

  • I was welcomed to participate in, a free, public workshop: a comics drawing workshop exploring the current state of Trans health care, facilitated by local artist Rimona Eskayo.

    I visited Portland, OR for the first time this year. As I plotted out an arts-focused itinerary for myself, the IPRC came highly recommended by several colleagues across my national Book & Paper Arts community. Perusing the zine collection, I enjoyed the freedom of exploration that was presented to me, a relative stranger to the Center. I was also welcomed to participate in, a free, public workshop: a comics drawing workshop exploring the current state of Trans health care, facilitated by local artist Rimona Eskayo. As a self-identified LGBT+ person, I experienced IPRC’s offering as being in genuine support of historically unheard and underserved communities.
