I had the pleasure of working with this designer for one of my contests. From the very beginning, he showed great interest and effort, and importantly, a highly experienced design eye. The effort he went to just in the contest phase alone was amazing - providing several options, and happily adjusting any of these to workshop them further. He turned potentially complex subject matter into something visually beautiful and simple to digest. This showed me that he took time to understand the content, not just how it would be 'laid out'.
Many people rate designs based on personal taste rather than functionality and purpose, but what I can say wholeheartedly is that all elements of my design brief were covered, and we had a beautiful end result.
Nothing was too much trouble, both in the competition phase and the handover phase. I would wholeheartedly recommend this designer, and hope to benefit from his skills and customer service again soon.
