"I have recently worked with Katrina to come up with branding and logo for my startup business. After our first meeting and discussion of my business and potential clients Katrina came back quickly with several unique designs. Where by I really felt she understood my business and the branding. I have found her to be professional, efficient with excellent ideas and open to discussion on design concepts. She gave me clear guidance and advice throughout the process and I would have no hesitation in recommending Katrina. From several offered concepts the one I decided to go with the colour scheme and logo has been instrumental for the interior designer, web design and signage which has made set up much easier with continuity of branding."

'Highly recommend Katrina at Studio Nine. She interpreted my brief seamlessly and professionally. Really happy with our final branding result! Looking forward to continuing to work with her."

"Katrina was great to work with! She asked the right questions, and developed a brief that showed she really understood what we were looking for. She was pleasant & professional without being pushy at all. She surpassed our expectations with the final logo package, and we will definitely keep her on "speed dial" for all our future developments."

We had a real fantastic experience working with the team at Studio Nine. Katrina is meticulous and considered in her approach, and the design work we received as a result was nothing less than incredible. Looking forward to the next time.
