Jay is one of the nicest, most trust worthy people I’ve worked with. His dedication to customer satisfaction is through the roof. Jay is great at understanding the client need and working out the design / strategy until it’s right. Jay designed all my company branding and it’s still going strong 7 years on. We’ve had additional design work since then for added services within the business and all our branding looks on point and cohesive.

Durrick Designs

I am beyond thrilled with the logo that Jay designed for my company, Durrick Designs. As a logo and website designer myself, I came to Jay for a brand strategy and logo design because I was simply too close to my own business to design something myself that I would be really happy with in the end. We spent a great deal of time going over the archetypes and he helped me to better understand myself and the customers I want to serve, so I could approach my rebrand and website redesign more succinctly. I love my new logo, color palette and brand. It's fresh, contemporary and serves the customers I'm looking to help locally in America and beyond. I am a small boutique agency serving small to mid-sized business across the globe.
