Why choose One Squiggly Line?


 

about One Squiggly Line

There’s only one point of contact with One Squiggly Line, and that’s Melinda. Unlike an agency, every interaction is directly with the person you are working with. This allows for more personalized experiences, greater long-term partnerships, less chance for miscommunication, and the most bang for your bucks. That said, agencies can be wonderful for large-scale jobs and I can refer you to one specializing in visual notes.

Check out these One Squiggly Line statistics from 2016. Also look at the FAQ and Portfolio pages to learn more.
