Dave Longbottom
President, Flora Hall Brewing
“I have hired tons of graphic design firms over the years, and when I found Steve at idApostle, I knew I was set. He was a careful listener with a superb process for customer engagement, and one of the best creative talents I have encountered. I could not be happier with the Flora Hall Brewing brand and identity, and cannot recommend idApostle strongly enough.”
Mike Manson
CEO of TaraSpan
“As a company whose focus is bilateral trade and services between North American and India, we had a requirement for a visual identity that worked across cultures and was sensitive to different needs. Steve captured the idea of accelerated growth and global connections in an identity that was and continues to be relevant to our markets in North America and India. His process caused us to hone our own strategy and develop the identity that we were looking for. The service he provides is exceptional and he has always made himself available—during the process and after. I have had no hesitation in recommending him in the past and continue to do so.”
Jason Mayhew
Founder, Flipped
“Working with idApostle was truly a great experience. Steve guided me through every step of my branding, gave me a professional overview of the work I would be receiving in exchange for what price, and delivered as promised. All things that may seem simple, but are unfortunately rare in business dealings today. The result was a brand I loved and could push proudly, which is exactly what I hired them for. I would (and have) strongly recommended idApostle to anyone looking to take their image to the next level.”
Curt Ziegler
Founder of Cudazi
“Creating an identity was something I knew was vital for success on my own as a designer. Like most designers, personal and client commitments were always higher on the to-do list. Steve gave me a perfect balance of creative freedom and influence along the entire project. His calm, organized process made the project feel effortless and quite fun, I was always excited to see what he came up with next. Most importantly, I know there was a solid thought process behind every decision.”
Gabriel Cassis
President, Coredge Software
“What makes the work so strong is the creative thinking behind it. They helped Coredge stand out from the competition—not just by making us look different, but by capturing what really makes us different. It has been a huge asset.”
