Design Services Review from Solyman Najimi
We worked with the folks at SmashBrand in 2025 for logo and artwork updates for our top product. They were able to take an analytical approach and output--through much testing and a thorough revision process--superior graphics and concepts for our product packaging and overall company branding. We have modernized and streamlined our look and feel with the help of SmashBrand. Early feedback has been positive. We hope the long-term impact will be great.

I’ve worked with dozens of design and strategy agencies throughout my career and SmashBrand’s approach is completely unique. They take a quantitative approach to packaging that aligns the most important purchase drivers with the consumer target, and designs around those. They have absolutely transformed our business and are always my first call when I have brand strategy needs.

Small Business Review from Jacob M. Brett
We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Karl at Kural Design for the re-branding of our Bread and Batter Bakery, and we couldn't be more impressed with the outcome. Karl's expertise and professionalism truly shone throughout the entire process, from the initial discussions to the final delivery. First and foremost, Karl's communication skills are impeccable. He listened attentively to our vision for the re-branding and translated it into a comprehensive plan that exceeded our expectations. His ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner ensured that we were always on the same page, leading to a smooth and efficient collaboration. One of the standout aspects of working with Karl was his availability. Despite his busy schedule, he always made time to address any questions or concerns we had promptly. His responsiveness gave us peace of mind knowing that our project was in capable hands and allowed us to move forward with confidence. Karl's honesty and transparency were also greatly appreciated throughout the process. He provided valuable insights and feedback, guiding us in making informed decisions that ultimately contributed to the success of the re-branding. His integrity and commitment to delivering high-quality work were evident every step of the way. When it comes to professionalism, Karl sets the bar high. He approached the project with a level of dedication and attention to detail that is truly commendable. From the sleek and modern web design to the cohesive branding elements, every aspect of the re-branding was executed with precision and finesse. His exceptional communication skills, availability, honesty, and professionalism will make him a valuable partner for any business looking to elevate their brand identity. Working with Karl and his team was not only a pleasure but also a truly rewarding experience that transformed our bakery for the better!
Dan S.'s Review Sourced from Google
I was seeking a web developer, logo designer, and overall brand expert for a business I was putting together. A friend referred me to Kural Design after I had lamented to him that I was having trouble finding a firm that was easy to deal with, and could serve as a one-stop-shop for all of my start-up business needs. I'm compelled to write this review because my experience with Kural Design was awesome. They took the time to meet with me on several occasions and were truly engaged in learning my vision, which they ultimately translated to a very sophisticated and user friendly website. On top of that, they produced my business logo and provided all collateral material so I could order stationary and marketing material with just a few clicks of a button. Everything looks very professional and I attribute the business I have acquired over the past few months to this fact. After I launched, realizing how little time I had, I ended up contracting KD to assist me in maintaining my website for a nominal monthly fee. No brainer! I would absolutely recommend Kural Design for anyone who needs print or digital marketing, logo design, or just help with brand alignment. Thanks again KD!

We had an outstanding experience working with this packaging company from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, organized, and exceeded our expectations at every stage. From the initial budgeting phase, their team was transparent, responsive, and helped us find the best solution within our target price range. Their design support was especially impressive. They took the time to understand our vision, provided helpful recommendations, and ensured every detail of the box reflected our brand perfectly. Production and delivery were completed exactly as promised, with excellent communication throughout. The pricing was very fair for the level of service and quality provided. Most importantly, the final product exceeded our expectations. The box quality is excellent, durable, and beautifully finished. We absolutely love the final box design. It looks professional, premium, and elevates the presentation of our product. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for high quality packaging, reliable service, and a team that truly cares about delivering exceptional results.
heather oshaughnessy's Review Sourced from Google
I had a vision in mind for the packaging that I wanted for my business. We created the design but didn’t know if what we wanted was possible. I worked with Marcus for my first order of boxes and the experience from beginning to end was flawless. Marcus was extremely patient with us as we explored the different box styles, paper weights and printing options. When we finally decided on the details we were amazed at how quick the order was printed and delivered!! We were so impressed that we are fast tracking 2 more box designs.

Highly recommend Half Price Packaging for anyone looking for reliable service and great packaging quality! Highly recommend.

We've worked with Streng for 30+ years- one of our longest term vendor relationships. Currently we primarily collaborate on photography and catalog creation, but have worked on a wide range of projects over the years. They know our products, our business, and our people. The long-term, stable staff here also makes working together so much easier. I highly recommend working with Streng Agency.

Chicago Importing Company has been working with Streng Agency for several years. They were first hired to elevate the aesthetics and improve the effectiveness of our printed brochures and catalogs. And now, we're excited to be working with them on the development of several digital sites for our proprietary brands.

All of these efforts have been highly beneficial to Lab and we look forward to continuing to engage with Streng in our future marketing efforts.

Michael Lax's Review Sourced from Google
After having a bad experience with Elite, I received a call from Cody. My guess, he's a CSR. I was impressed with his passion for customer service so I decided to give them another try. Cody was on top of the job and exceeded my expectations. The boxes were perfect and delivered quicker than promised. I ended up giving them another job. This second box was absolutely magnificent. The prices are fair, the work is good and the delivery was early. My customer is happy...I highly recommend Elite for any custom box. Pics are attached.
Deb Coldiron's Review Sourced from Google
Elite printed a book box for a client of mine for a book set. I included a spot gloss and it turned out wonderfully. The template was excellent and the instructions for specs were very clear. They were swift and available with communications. I will use them again for other clients. I am extremely pleased with how my experience went and with the quality of the printing.

Ashlee Swider's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with Scout and team several times over my career and I keep coming back for more! Each time, the entire DesignScout team has demonstrated a collaborative and methodical approach that is equally nimble as it is thoughtful. The team does their homework and they are committed to developing the RIGHT solution. The end results never fail to be inspired, modern and buttoned-up. If you need smart solutions, DesignScout is your answer. I can't go without confessing that Scout has saved more than one of my projects. Her experience and foresight has helped ID and navigate issues before they developed into full-on, budget-breaking or project-stopping problems. We were able to nip it right in the bud and stay on-timeline and on-budget. I mean it when I say: DesignScout is a true creative partner. Professional, organized, timely. And as a female professional myself, I appreciate Scout's boss-lady know-how.
Suzanne Florek's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend Scout Design. They are a collaborative firm that listens well to their client. We have had an amazing experience with their team. Scout Design over delivers, listens, meets deadlines and is budget conscious. Every aspect of their design, has been flexible and has worked for us and our new project. Scout Design is overall amazing.
Laura Lencioni's Review Sourced from Google
Design Scout recently guided our company through a major rebranding effort and we are very pleased with the result. As a design firm ourselves, we came to the table with high expectations and lots of strong opinions. Scout and her creative team took the time to really get to know our firm and distilled our input into a strong visual identity. On launch day I had more than one person tell me they were proud of the new branding package because it speaks to who we are as a firm. Scout and her team were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.

Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.
Nancy Antol's Review Sourced from Google
I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.
erik johnsen's Review Sourced from Google
In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.
