TESTIMONIALS
Arti Modhwadia The AM Consultancy
“I approached Hardeep for a bespoke logo design and website for my new consultancy business. I needed to create a professional portal for clients to understand the business and easily contact me. From the start Hardeep provided me with a client-centred approach and as this was my first website, he explained the whole process to me in a simplistic way. He took my ideas and requirements on board and combined them with his creative flair, to make a product that I am proud to associate with my business. His flexible, friendly and professional approach alongside his expert advice- made the whole process less daunting for me. His design skills are exemplary and I would highly recommend him.”

“I just wanted to say how over the moon I am with the graphic design projects you have done for me. It’s truly refreshing to work with a graphic designer who has a modern approach to design and clearly loves their job as it’s reflected in your passion and creativity. I love the way you work and it was so nice just being able to chat through my ideas and preferences up front, all of which you took on board during the initial design process. Not only did you design and create an amazing logo but you also created a future proof brand. It really was nearly impossible picking from your 5 rough drafts! I would most definitely recommend you to someone looking for a graphic designer who is passionate, creative and most of all friendly!”

“Hardeep’s experience, commitment and creative artistic style instantly transformed my old, dated site into a bold, professional and business minded website. He worked closely with me, clearly explaining every step (important for a novice like me). My clients range vastly in age, all have commented on how simple it tis to navigate through the new site. Anything is possible with such a fantastic website! Hardeep comes highly recommended!”
