At some stage, when business gets very busy we will have to start selecting our clients.<\/p>\n

“What?!”, you say. And we can hear you laughing and scratching your head!<\/p>\n

No, we are not being snobbish or picky, it is just that there are persons we love to work with and others that not so much.<\/p>\n

In recent years we have been fortunate enough to love 94% of the clients we had. From these, we were madly in love by 53% of them, this means they ticked ALL the boxes below and we even became friends.<\/p>\n

We offer a service of excellence<\/strong> and we want to keep it like that. Full stop. So we decided to put together a list of what makes our ideal type of client (in no particular order):<\/p>\n

1- Passionate<\/p>\n

2- Friend of the environment<\/p>\n

3- Design educated OR open to learn\/appreciate<\/p>\n

4- Funny and relaxed<\/p>\n

5- Honest<\/p>\n

6- Will let US solve the (design) problems and challenges<\/p>\n

7- Respects our work<\/p>\n

8- Provides feedback (good or bad!)<\/p>\n

9- Has a realistic budget<\/p>\n

10- With a holistic approach to life<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have ALL the characteristics above do get in touch with us TODAY<\/a>. We would love to work with you!<\/p>\n

And we know, from experience, YOU will love to work with us.<\/p>\n
