What clients are saying –
Pearu – Visual Identity
“As someone who was starting to make her own brand, Santa brought my attention to a lot of things that I wasn’t even thinking about. The experience was very professional and creative. And in the end we ended up with something I am very proud to put on my product. For me the most important things is that the person I work with listens to me and what brand is like. And in this case she really captured what I am trying to achieve with my brand.”
