"Working with Paul was a truly exceptional experience. I have worked with many professionals during my decades long career, including creative people and very highly paid consultants. Paul is in a league of his own. He has an amazing balance of creative clarity and empathetic client focus. He listened to my business objectives, he listened to my ideas for my business’ logo as the design progressed, then Paul gently guided me to the final solution that I had not even imagined. The logo we collaboratively created together exceeded my expectations. I recommend Paul without any reservations."-

"I've known and worked with Paul for over a decade, and have nothing but positive things to say about him. He is professional, talented, and takes his craft very seriously. He is also a perfectionist (in the best sense of the word), and won't stop refining his designs until they perfectly match his clients' expectations. He is also very easy to work with, which solves a major pain point for tons of people in creative spaces. There is no fuss, no hassle - just hard work, great communication, and a phenomenal end result. I would absolutely recommend Paul for any type of graphic design job!"
