Testimonial
"Betsy Pippen is one of the most delightful humans I've ever met. I managed Betsy on our social media team at Nickelodeon, and from the second I met her, I knew her value would extend past our projects and onto everyone around her. Betsy exudes positivity, a joyful sense of humor, and a grounded sense of optimism. It’s infectious.
Betsy is an artist. She’s an extraordinarily talented video editor, graphic designer, and a killer copywriter. She takes great pride in her work and through her skills, continually pushed the team to improve. When I reflect on my time with Betsy, I remember the unending confidence I had in her and how excited she was to get to work every morning. Whether it was a tricky video edit, a tight deadline, or seeing her way through a graphic design with limited information from a partner, she never flinched to problem solve and over deliver. Even with this full time gig, she was still hustling on her passion projects, developing her amazing textile work, all while getting her Master’s Degree. Betsy is intrinsically driven by self-expression and to do her best. Our jobs just happened to be her medium.
Betsy’s greatest strength, though, is her spirit. She has an uncanny ability to empower everyone on the team to be themselves, encourage their ideas and to find joy in every project to rally around. This is largely a reflection of how she prioritizes people before herself. This same spirit is exuded in her passion to preserve the environment and being an anchor on Nickelodeon’s sustainability club, Eco-lodeon. Her spirit and joy was a big source of our team’s chemistry and connectivity. It was an absolute pleasure working with Betsy and I have my fingers crossed our paths cross again in the future."

"Betsy is one of the kindest designers I’ve ever worked with, exuding approachability, humility, and joy in every interaction I’ve ever had with her. In a field that can sometimes feel saturated with ego, Betsy is a breath of fresh air, especially since she has taste in spades and an eye that rivals the best in the industry. Her work is consistently next-level and she spends any downtime investing in a broad range of new skills to both expand her versatility (which is tremendously profitable in startups!) and to keep up with trends—and set her own! Our team has felt honored to partner with her in producing modern updates of our brand to ensure our visual and motion designs are continually fresh and engaging. She would be a priceless addition to any team."
