Gary H Sutherland FInstPa MIoD FIoL
When it came to creating a 'brand' for my business, I needed a graphic designer who could understand my company, the services it delivered and the message i wanted to get across. Fortunately I met Claire of Velvet Design! Claire listened carefully to my brief then applied the full weight of her considerable creative skills and experience to develop a modern and distinctive logo design and complimentary business stationary that depicts my business in a professional and distinctive way, and which has helped attract new clients, and portray exactly the image I was looking for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Claire of Velvet Design to any business looking for a talented, reliable designer who is always professional, accommodating and most of all who listens and is able to apply a unique style and creativity that can add real value to your business.

I hired Claire to develop a new brand for one of my clients who had, as many do, left everything until the last minute. Not only did Claire come up with several strong ideas - all of which impressed the client greatly - she did this in a very short space of time, which meant that the client was in possession of brand new business cards less than 10 days after initial discussions with me. Aside from her excellent designs, Claire's professionalism and punctuality made her a pleasure to do business with. I look forward to working with her again.
