ENDORSEMENTS
“The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum has had a wonderful experience working with Lil' Oak.
Lonnie is collaborative, thoughtful, reliable, and professional. She has helped us bring truly dream-worthy products to life for our store locations, translating ideas into beautifully executed results."
Rebecca Tuccillo, Head of Retail Services | GEORGIA O’KEEFFE MUSEUM
“I’ve had an outstanding experience working with Lil’ Oak Productions! Lonnie worked closely with our team to design a custom plush for our museum, guiding us expertly through every stage of product design and prototyping.
She brought our concept designs off the page and onto our shelves with remarkable care and attention to detail. Throughout the process, she provided consistent production updates, clear communication, and competitive, transparent pricing.
We’re thrilled with the final product and look forward to collaborating with them on many more creative projects in the future."
Tay Davant, Director of Retail | MERCER LABS
