What people say

CLIENT

Suzanne Roelofs

Peritip

Testimonial

I’ve worked with Mike on Peritip from the beginning. His drive has got the project from a standstill to up and running. As a dentist designing a product was new to me, but Mike took on the project with energy and commitment. Without him, Peritip wouldn’t have come to fruition. He designed the product and produced all the graphics, animations, packaging and website. Going beyond by assisting in getting the product on the market. He’s dedicated, reliable and funny, a joy to work with.

Cognition

Testimonial

Mike is a pleasure to work with and the creative genius behind the branding, animations and website for my new company, Cognition. Mike's approach was invaluable in helping me clarify and formulate my offering into a coherent package. His design expertise were evident in delivering an aesthetically pleasing identity and site that fully encapsulated my business and exceeded my expectations. If you want someone to take rambling thoughts and transform them somehow into something that looks pretty damn good - I couldn't recommend him more.

Mike has helped us bring our business and ideas to life. The time he spent understanding our target market, their needs, and our value proposition meant his creations were spot on. It feels like Mike is part of the team as he’s often sharing ideas or “thought this might be of interest” ideas with us. Mike is reliable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I recommend him for all aspects of design and business.

Mike is a brilliant creative with a business mind and a disciplined focus. We started with a name for our process before it was a company or a product. Mike listened, learned, created, and iterated. We continue to grow together. He’s a pleasure to work with.

I’ve been impressed by Mike’s diverse skills in building a company’s brand and visual identity. I particularly appreciated how Mike challenged me so I didn’t settle for ‘good enough’ – instead, leading us to create something we can truly be proud of. Even after the project has officially ended, Mike continues to provide support to ensure that my company lands as it should.

MIKE IS BADASS! He's an exceptional designer and brand thinker. When I’m working on a project that needs creative muscle, he’s the first person I call. Mike goes beyond being “a designer” and is a creative strategist who is thoughtful, precise, and inspiring while being incredible open and reliable.

Testimonial

Mike in my experience is an extremely rare animal, he is both very good at 2D design, graphics etc but also is equally at home in 3D, designing products and preparing them for production.

COLLABORATOR

Holly Catford

Esterson Associates

Testimonial

Mike helped us conceptualise a large educational platform from scratch. We needed his speed and typographic precision to prototype something for our client to sign off on a tight deadline. We had very little content from the client, and Mike managed to put together something really exciting to get the project moving. Mike is fantastic to work with. He's fun and enthusiastic at every stage. He understands what you need from a job and takes any feedback straight into consideration, as well as bringing a different design perspective to things.

Working with Mike is great! He is creative and adaptive, bringing my ideas to life, visually appealing and easy to understand. The project changed several times. Mike was always good at communicating, which resulted in a fantastic identity and website. Mike’s expertise in design is evident, and I see him as an incredibly valuable asset to any project he works on.

Relish

Testimonial

From the moment I got to know Mike I knew he was different to a lot of the design/creative agencies and freelancers I had worked with previously and that he had the right experience for the work I was trying to achieve. He not only understands every brief I put forward but also goes the extra mile to make it even better. I found he also has the right amount of patience without time wasting to help me understand and brainstorm creative ideas that are needed to ensure we produce the best solution.

Mike is fun to work with, responsive and professional in his approach. The identity is simple yet effective and precisely what I wanted.
