"I asked him to make a leaflet this time and the process went very smoothly, and he was able to complete the order in a very short time, just one month.He immediately understood what I was asking for and reflected it in the leaflet. The fact that he created multiple color patterns for me was also great. The finished leaflet is very well received, with the content organized and clearly written."

"I liked the clean and easy-to-read design. A designer who can skillfully create illustrations and icons. Although it is a leaflet introducing a general organization, it is memorable because it also serves as a way to show that the designer himself has grown up with the organization."
