“Rachel has been so great to work with, she responds quickly, has great vision and has really helped us see what it is that we are needing and then bring that to reality. Her development of our ‘brand’ has really strengthened our clarity around what we do and who we are. We have been so happy with her work with us over the years that elements of her design are now incorporated into our building which was rebuilt after the 2011 earthquakes.”
Brigette Unwin - Trustee - Piko Wholefoods
“I have been working with Rachel since 2007 when we developed the Lochinvar Safaris branding, taking it to trade shows in the USA in the form of a brochures, display in-stand, website and business cards. I have had a great response from clients to the Lochinvar Safaris identity which makes marketing my business a lot easier in a very competitive international environment. Rachel always meets deadlines and often co-ordinates production details while I am out of the country. I know I can rely on her for creative, economical design work.”
Mark Harrison - Lochinvar Safaris
”Rachel worked as a contractor for MainPower for around nine years. She has created a number of documents, advertisements and signage for us during that time, all to a high standard and with a good understanding of the target audience. In the time that I’ve worked alongside Rachel, she has always been an excellent communicator and never once missed a deadline, making her very easy and pleasant to work with.”
Emma Hyde - Communications Co-ordinator - MainPower
“I have worked with Rachel on a range of design projects, as far back as 1998. These included my MBA Thesis Project Business Plan, Kaikoura WhaleWatch Photography and Flukes Café the Whaleway Station (advertising and photographic art direction), Farmlands Traders Society (CRT Store Standards Manual), Gregg Builders (brochure, business stationery, photographic art direction), StreetSmart Financial Planning (design and production of client workbook).
Rachel has the rare ability to understand the client’s vision and perspective and turn this into reality. This is underpinned by a very sharp eye for the detail, clear communication and excellent design and outputs. Simply put, Rachel is great to work with and she provides an excellent return on those that invest in her. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a graphic designer.”
Glenn Morris - Managing Director - Tradeworx
“I have worked on a number of projects with Rachel and no matter what the theme, be it business or community Rachel always nailed the brief by turning words, emotions and thoughts in to wonderful visual messages. I know this was always achieved because of Rachel always listened to what was wanted and sought to understand what was needed.“
Janine Rogers - Managing Director - North Canterbury Seafood Market
“I loved working with Rachel on my original website, so it was the obvious choice to approach her to do my online store. Rachel is a great listener and translated my ideas into a beautiful website which exceeded my expectations. She is professional in all she does and her awesome sense of humour makes her such a pleasure to work with.”
Jo Muir - Fabric Designer - Fig and Honey
“In 2008 I worked closely with Rachel on the flyers for my exhibition - Elemental. We also worked on my business cards and general theme for my online presence. I found Rachel incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive through the process. I was really pleased with the results and still think the Style Counsel branding looks timeless.”
