What Our Graphic Design Clients Are Saying:
Over the last 30 years, I’ve worked with many of the top agencies around the world. Sometimes you find that what you really need is right in your back yard. The Step2 team not only delivers top-notch creative work like the “big boys” (or girls) do, they do it without the excesses that sometimes come from larger firms. They’re also not afraid to challenge their clients when they think it’s needed. I find that particularly refreshing and vital to a productive relationship.
RON JESIOLOWSKIScott & Christie and Associates has worked with Karen for more than a decade. We love the work she does for us; it’s always fresh, professional and makes each of our businesses look great. She has also been a true asset helping us communicate the spirit of our nonprofit work. No matter what project we give them, including logos, publication design, ads and educational materials, the Step2 team has responded with work we’re proud to put our name on.
JEFF RIHNThe Step2 team has been working with Ainsworth Product Innovations since 2011. They consistently deliver the goods with high-quality package designs, whether original or expanding upon our existing brand lines, copy development and sales support. Much of the work we do is conceptual and gets presented to some of the world’s largest retail buyers. Step2 Branding & Design has been able to capture our vision and equip us with great designs for these important presentations.
WALT WDOWIAKYou can see Ron’s creative mind whirling as you describe the concept you want him to consider. He understands quickly, thinks strategically about communication solutions, asks the really important questions, then produces an impressive result and stays flexible and open to change.
