KIND WORDS

“More than just a gifted designer, Halley Miller possesses what I consider vital characteristics in a good employee — she is reliable, cares about her work, takes initiative and is able to consistently produce at a high level. While at The Delaware Gazette, Miller established the paper’s social media presence, redesigned portions of the print product and created eye-catching and informative graphics and layouts.”

— Devon Immelt,
Managing Editor,
The Delaware Gazette

“Halley did a great job at her limited time at the Gazette. Her vision helped us establish a social media presence, and the aesthetic tweaks she made to the newspaper helped sharpen our look. Through her skills, knowledge, and creativity, Halley found time despite the editorial department's limited staffing to implement progressive improvements to the Gazette's product.”
