Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of working with Curt for five years. Over this time I witnessed Curt’s drive and unwavering commitment to his craft, the entire team around him, and to each and every client. His work ethic is equally as impressive as his top of class talent for graphic design and marketing management. I have always been impressed by his ability to navigate an environment of constant change and numerous years of high growth. From the phase of a start-up to an established brand, Curt consistently delivered high quality work and was an essential contributor to the successes of the organization.

On the personal side, Curt is a genuine, well grounded, and honest person of the highest moral standards. You could not ask to work with a better individual.

I happily endorse Curt’s quality of work, commitment to his craft, and ability to make a positive impact for any organization.”

“We hired Curtis to redesign our logo and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. He was extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, accommodating a committee of staff and Board members all with different opinions and ideas. We could tell this wasn’t just another job for him; he truly cared about creating an updated look for our organization that will live on for many years to come. Curtis always promptly replied to our (endless) emails and never hesitated to help us out wherever he could, definitely going above and beyond what we expected. We are very happy with our redesigned logo and accompanying stationary package and would not hesitate recommending Curtis (Colourshape) to other businesses and organizations for their design needs.”

“Curtis was an absolute pleasure to work with on the re-design of our materials for Distress Centre’s 1-800-SUICIDE line. He was able to capture a complex and challenging topic and communicate it in a way that was clear and compelling. He listened intently to our thoughts and hopes for the project and managed to deliver a product that was better than what we had imagined ourselves. Many thanks for his professional and very personable work with us.”

“Curtis works incredibly well under very tight timelines, showing fantastic organization, creativity and of course a positive attitude. He asks great questions, works hard and makes sure he delivers on deadlines. He is a rare mix of creative and “detail oriented” which made him invaluable to our team. He has great ideas that often deliver more than what you had originally imagined or asked for, and on time!

The mortgage statements were the best we have ever produced from a look and feel perspective. The statements went out on time, on budget with 1/2 the stress of previous years. We have set a great foundation for how we’ll do other statements in the bank and I think we have Curtis to thank for that. He took that project and ran with it.”

“Curtis is an absolute joy to work with! I’ve been working with him on corporate branding for close to three years now and he never fails to deliver quality work. He is creative, thorough, and really takes the time to understand what your vision is. He has been instrumental in helping me push projects through to completion and is very receptive to any and all feedback that I provide. I always enjoy working with him and look forward to continuing to collaborate together in the future. Thank you for everything, Curtis!”

“Curtis is exactly what one needs in a business partner. He makes life easy. I have known Curtis for several years and in all that time he has always proven to be a conscientious and fast worker. He is extremely skilled in the worlds of design, branding and information design, but unlike many other consultants, he won’t try to impress you with his smarts. He’d much rather listen, ask questions to determine your needs then use his knowledge to produce work that will knock your socks off.”

“We felt so fortunate to have been introduced to Curtis. We were under an incredibly tight timeline for a new logo to be created, but he did not shy away from the to-do list or the timeline. The final logo was perfect and exactly the design and feel we were hoping for. All of our communications and in person dealings with Curtis were so easy yet professional. He has a natural ability to put people at ease, have meaningful conversations and really hear what his clients are saying.

We truly enjoyed working with Curtis and know that when we need the services of graphic design in the future, our choice will be with Curtis and Colourshape.”

“Curtis provided the utmost professional care in designing our new logo. It was a task we were hesitant to allow out of our hands given the longevity of our old logo and the history of the business. But he handled us and the logo with the utmost care. He is a wonderful communicator; he has the vision to push the limits with the smarts to work with the needs and desires of the client. Never did I get the impression that I was frustrating him or wasting his time or efforts. On the contrary, every communication was positive, encouraging and insightful. In the end, Curtis created a logo that clearly communicates who we are and what we sell in timeless, creative art. Thanks so much.”

“Curtis worked with us on the design of a new logo, website, letterhead and business cards. Without exception, he was professional and prompt in manner. After researching our industry and our company, he provided us with several concepts—all of which were well suited to our corporate identity. He was quick to respond to our inquiries, and gave careful attention to deadlines, making sure to keep budget in mind at all times. We have recommended Curtis to other businesses, and would not hesitate to do so again. It was a pleasure to work with Curtis, and we are very pleased with the end result.”
