Had a great experience with DesignFX

After using AI to brainstorm a few ideas myself, I sent my thinking to Natalie. She took the time to fully understand the business, my market and customer base. She also listened to my early ideas on the type of illustrated logo I was looking for.

What Natalie created exemplified the kind of image I was going for. She had really taken onboard everything I'd said but also had the creative confidence to offer alternatives to some of my more undefined ideas to produce something better than I had hoped for.

If you're looking for a logo that covers the basics then AI can often give you what you need. But if your brand really matters to you, and you're looking for something that reflects you and the image you want to present, then it really pays off to go with a creative designer.

As well as a great finished design, Natalie also made it a very rewarding process.

I had a great experience working with Natalie at Design FX. She was patient, creative and incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, especially while we refined multiple iterations of my business card design.

She really took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve with my brand and offered thoughtful suggestions while still respecting my vision. The final design looks sharp, professional and exactly how I wanted it. The print quality is excellent too, great weight and finish.

Highly recommend Design FX if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about getting the details right.

Probably one of the greatest B2B experiences I have experienced in my working career. The thing that first drew me to Design FX Studio was the fact that Natalie has been in this business for over 30 years. Once we had an initial meeting she had my buy in.

From then on out the service experience was second to none. the website was fully bespoke, with beautiful designs throughout the pages. A lot of care and attention were given to my intended outcomes which really meant a lot. The end result was perfect.

Thank you so so much Natalie! we will be recommending Natalie to anyone needing assistance in the future and will definitely be back in touch ourselves for future web development.
