Testimonials

Below are testimonials from clients and colleagues that I've worked with in the past. Select a headshot to open a client's LinkedIn profile.

Professionally, Chanel showcased all the skillsets required for the 21st century world of work. She was able to work in a flexible and agile manner, think both creatively and critically, and could problem solve throughout the project process. Chanel is an extremely talented designer who is able to marry both pedagogy and creativity in her approach. At UJ, we were anxious of the unrealistic time-frame of the project, but Chanel (and colleagues) went beyond the call of duty to ensure the success of the project. Chanel works in a collaborative manner and constantly communicates project development to ensure they align with initial aims and goals set at inception. Upon reflection, the First-Year Seminar has been a success at UJ where both staff and students have benefited from the artifacts that were created. Chanel’s design incorporated social justice, which lie at the heart of this student project.

On a personal level, I think Chanel is a pleasure to work with. Her patience with our team and commitment to the project was immensely appreciated. She is exceptionally talented and will contribute successfully in any team that she joins.

I have known Chanel Long for over a decade and have worked with Chanel for 8 years. Chanel is a hard worker who takes her responsibilities seriously and delivers an excellent quality of work.

Chanel has a lovely manner and would be an asset to any company because of her integrity, creativity and willingness to learn. Chanel has gained good experience in the time she has worked at Eiffel Corp and is very professional when dealing with our clients, being able to listen to their needs and then deliver the services required accordingly.

Chanel is always willing to learn new skills and not stagnate, but rather to continuously grow as a person. Chanel has good interpersonal skills with her colleague’s and is willing to do what is necessary to meet a deadline.

I highly recommend Chanel and would like to note that excellent workers like Chanel are hard to come by.

Gwen van der Merwe

Co-Founder, Eiffel Corp (Pty) Ltd

Chanel is a dream to co-create with, we have worked together on many projects for some of South Africa's biggest fashion and home decor retailers. She has an ability to grasp and execute creative vision like no other in her field. Chanel is always able to deliver incredible work on some very tight deadlines. It has been extremely challenging to replace her in our creative team this past year.

I would highly recommend Chanel and I know you will be blown away at what she will produce for your brand and what she will add to the atmosphere on set just by being there.

Skye van Wyk

Founder, Trend Farm

Chanel worked on a couple of projects for our non-profit organization. Chanel was always prompt, whether for a shoot, sending through drafts to review or responding to emails. Chanel's professionalism, attention to detail and general positive attitude to the work she did always aided in producing the results we expected. In addition, Chanel was a great person to be around and made every video project a fun and enjoyable process.

I will never forget, on one assignment, the script for a video I had communicated to our presenters was interpreted differently because of language and cultural differences. When we arrived to capture these presenters, Chanel used her initiative and creativity to capture the essence of what we required. I will always be grateful for that!

Her videos are always inspiring and are paramount in delivering a clear message to our business. Chanel has always been highly professional, approachable and will often go above and beyond to make sure that the work she hands over exceeds all of our expectations.

Chanel would be an asset to any team with her natural creative flair, calm and collected demeanor and her can do attitude.
