Isaac Levi / Business Development at Speakeasy Telecom

Martin has worked his magic with us for the last 3 years. He was highly recommended, and has since then produced some of the best designs for our products in the industry.

Our experience has been that with various projects and a few brainstorming sessions, he is able to capture the concept through his creative thinking to deliver brilliant work and produce it to a high standard. The feedback that we have received from our customers has been very positive.

We cannot express our gratitude enough. Martin has been a huge asset to our company that has made a lasting impression.

Liz Davies / Senior Trend manager at Wilko & Owner at Mad Philomena

Martin worked seamlessly with the Wilko Trend team on development of our 2014 trend books. His graphic design capability meant that the work was completed at speed and to a great standard. We all enjoyed working with Martin as he is so easy to get along with and he quickly became like another member of the team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Martin, as his work is precise, creative and great value for money. He also helped us with troubleshooting along the way and resolved technical issues we encountered. We will hopefully be working with him again soon!

Lizzie McIntyre / Owner, Scratchmedia Ltd, Transform Your Home Ltd

Martin has created some great logos and artwork for my clients. He possesses discernment and talent, ensuring the process of working with him is enjoyable and the finished product is just right for the clients that have commissioned it.

Paul C Gerrard / Director of Retail Sales CPI Card Group

Martin is a rare talent, a brilliant eye for design from concept to final creation. Coupled with his design talent is an even better positive outlook on life – no challenge is too big. I can highly recommend Martin, you will not be disappointed.

Will McIntyre / Director at SDM Consultancy

Martin is a rare gem in a designer that makes the transition from a marketing man's concept into a polished reality a painless and speedy process. He really understood the brief and delivered on time and budget to a notoriously picky customer!

TESTIMONIALS:

Grace Vernon / Trend Manager at Wilkinson

Martin is a very talented graphic designer who isn't afraid of hard work. He has the ability to deliver exceptional work to very tight deadlines, whilst always remaining calm and collected. He is fantastic at interpreting creative briefs, delivering work to a very high standard, whilst always thinking how it could be improved, considering not only the design but also the printing and final output. I would highly recommend Martin to other businesses looking for a designer who will integrate well into the team and deliver great work time after time.

Martin has the ability to interpret a design brief and deliver exceptionally innovative results that portray the vision and values of major brands but are also aspirational and forward thinking. He has great commercial awareness and an eye for detail, resulting in projects being delivered on time and within budget. I have worked with him on various projects, from major retail brands, to large corporate organisations and he manages to adapt his style accordingly and creatively.On a personal level, I find Martin professional, personable and a joy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for future projects.
