“It’s such a weight lifted from my shoulders to know that the Crafted Pen has my project details organized and in order. As a business owner, I really appreciate that I can confidently turn my mind to other things that help me to build my business and don’t have to concern myself with project management.
I don’t know what I’d do without Crafted Pen!”

“ I truly enjoyed the entire experience with Marlowe Boyd and the crafted pen. She was extremely professional. She paid great attention to detail. She was very patient working with me and helping me bring to life my vision for my business. She offered so many helpful suggestions as far as how to move forward and enhance my business. I would definitely recommend her to anyone the entire experience with a 10 out of 10 and I look forward to working with her on future projects”
