Sonja (the Robotanist) graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Montana State University in 2005. Since then she has worked at a newspaper, small studio, and in-house for a corporation. This variety of work places has truly prepared her for anything. Sonja enjoys design in its many forms: graphic, fashion, architecture, product. In her free time she walks her dog Lucy (a not-so-skinny Lab), trains for races, paints portraits, buys shoes/clothes, and cooks without recipes (a not recommended habit). Sonja is a seriously dedicated designer, but light-hearted individual.

TESTIMONIALS
“Working with The Robotanist was a pleasure. Sonja was personable, knowledgeable, timely and creative. Just what we were looking for in a graphic designer. She gave us multiple logo designs for a new event we are developing, “Paint & Sip”. Our marketing committee discussed and liked a combination of two. No problem. The next day we had a new logo that everyone liked. I would highly recommend The Robotanist and hope to work with her again on our next project.”

“Sonja is great! I had a website made previously by another designer and found myself disheartened by the constant missed deadlines, lack of communication, and bad business ethic. I loved the general feel of the website, but had to break up with my designer after so much trouble. Sonja was able to make the site look almost identical (actually better) than the previous handmade site using WordPress. On top of that, she did it so fast I was shocked. I wish I had found her from the beginning steps. She is knowledgeable, attentive, very easy to work with, and I would feel very comfortable sending my friends her way.”

“The Robotanist has provided my company the sort of fresh look and feel I have been looking for. The services were prompt and professional, not to mention the quality of the work was far beyond my expectations. Sonja’s perspective and attention to detail was a welcome relief. If in the future I require this level of professionalism and commitment to my graphics needs I know where to look. I would recommend the services to anyone looking for new and exciting graphics work.”
-Jake Hanson, Owner, Mojo Geological Consulting
“Choosing a logo is one of the most difficult things for a business to do; and when some things can be just good enough, the brand must be perfect. Sonja worked with us tirelessly and patiently to make our logo just right, and understood the artistic idea we were trying to achieve for our business, even when we at times did not. We continue to work with Sonja in all aspects of our paper and digital marketing campaign–her attention to detail and prompt design delivery makes advertising and outreach one of the easiest things we can do to expand our business. If only working with the city was this efficient!”
