Design for Grown Ups
So, what’s it like working with Ginny Westcott?
Ginny has been great to work with for all of my winery’s creative. She’s designed everything from our labels to brochures to posters. All with great attention to detail and eye-catching design. She makes my job as a wine marketer easier.
Ginny was with us in the beginning of our winery and made the whole labeling process for us easy. She seemed to have an endless supply of ideas. We are so glad we found her. She always got the job done on time and on budget.
We tried other label designers in the past and found it cost us more in the long run. Ginny Westcott was a great find. She has the unique ability of walking the balance between what you think you want and what you really need to succeed. I am new to the business and found Ginny was extremely helpful in getting us started with label designing. We would have been lost without her.
Ginny Westcott has an incredible sense of design and never ending supply of ideas. She balances her unique creativity with practical solutions. She designs all our winery’s print materials and has for more than a decade. She works within our budgets and I have never been disappointed.
I have worked with Ginny Westcott since 2005 on all of our business’ graphic design needs. She is highly creative and I have always found her to be professional as well as communicative and responsive to our needs. I love her use of color and her eye for composition, too!

Working with Ginny Westcott has been a delight. She has worked successfully within our budget for projects ranging from $500 to $5,000 and does a great job of creating jump-off-the-shelf labels! There will be many more von Stiehl projects that contain her unique designs.
It’s been 11 years of creating with Ginny Westcott and it has always been a pleasure…from creating our look to updating brochures and labels, it amazes me how well she communicates and understands it all through the Internet. Thanks Ginny!
Ginny is an amazing talent and extremely professional. Not only is she able to come up with great design concepts, she really takes the time to ask the right questions as needed to ensure that she understands the overall image that one is striving for. She consistently met deadlines, took feedback, and went the extra mile to ensure that the printer understood the exact colors and textures that our labels required. Overall we were extremely thrilled with our label designs and cannot recommend Ginny highly enough!
After being in The wine business for 19 years we decided a year and a half ago to rebrand ourselves and get a new look. I researched local designers here in Sonoma County and found great recommendations for Westcott design in Sonoma. I contacted Ginny Westcott and found that we knew each other from many years ago. Ginny listened to my needs and gave us options to work with. We are so pleased with our new look! Ginny is wonderful to work with and I would recommend Westcott Design to any business owner!
Ginny was very responsive to my ideas and nailed it within a very short time. She was a pleasure to work with and I was surprised at how painless the whole process was!
Thanks to Ginny I still get major kudos from our customers for our Port labels. She is the best artist/designers I have ever worked with. She opens my eyes to the possibilities!
Ginny Westcott contributes to the design process from beginning to end, bringing to the table some of the freshest ideas I’ve seen in wine packaging in twenty years. On top of this, she is a joy to work with, delivering projects on time and on budget.
Ginny provided the perfect combination of outstanding creative in a timely and cost-effective manner that we were looking for. She is highly responsive to our goals and objectives while offering keen and insightful guidance to what consumers are seeking in wines. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work with her again.
Talented, resourceful, always willing to meet a deadline and darn pleasant to work with

We were so lucky to find Ginny Westcott to support our first branding efforts. As stated by other vintners she has the unique ability of walking the balance between what you think you want and what you really need to succeed. She took Ignacio’s concept and even some of his artwork and made our vision come to life. We are beyond pleased with the results not to mention TTB approval was a snap.
Ginny is creative, professional, and great to work with. She has taken our concept and turned it into the perfect label and box packaging in a timely manner and with great attention to our requests and details. Highly recommended!

Ginny is great to work with, responsive and helpful, to the extent of teaching me the techniques she employs!
We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work from Ginny. She worked with us to refine our design until it was just right, and she helped us keep it within budget. She was invaluable in helping select and partner with our label printer. We would recommend her unconditionally.
Before contacting Ginny, I went to her website to see her work. I liked it and there were many strong testimonials, I figured that they were probably exaggerations. They weren’t! If anything, they did not praise her enough! She will help you with your design even if all you bring is a vague idea; she will help you with finding a motto, with the text on the back of the label, with finding a printer, with everything! She is the best!
It has been a pleasure working with Ginny Westcott on our new label and branding project. She guided us through the process and was quick to respond to problems and changes. In the end our entire team was pleased with the results.
I built a tuscan style villa, winery and vineyard in central Kansas. We searched for a label designer and found Westcott Design. I live 1500 miles away from her and she took care of design, art work, advice on layout, printing, etc. We could not be happier with her response and great service from beginning to end result.

I am so glad that my friend Dan referred me to Ginny.She did a great job on our packaging imagery! I have received countless compliments from retailers carrying my product. The service, quality, timeliness and attention to detail could not have been better!
Ginny really knows her business. The first thing she said upon reviewing our old label was ‘You must have a young designer because the fonts are small. Most wine drinkers are over 40.’ She was patient and professional throughout the process and the results are amazing. Thank you.
Working with Ginny has been Excellent, she is professional and friendly. Ginny is very talented and completes her work on time!

Labels are as important as whats in the wine bottle. Ginny designed an eye catching label for me with steady contact during the entire process. I think my labels are just as popular as my hard cider is!
