"I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the prospectus. Staff and parents have commented on how professional it is and how lovely the photos are. Many thanks for your assistance on this project."
"The Design Office delivered a superb portfolio of photograhic images to promote the very best of Haverhill. The commission was executed with supreme creativity, sensitivity and dedication, as well as with due regard to the needs of those individuals and organisations that were invited to become a part of the record of the town; those involved in commissioning the project acknowledged that the result reflected the best of Haverhill across all the themes set out in the tender, and more besides. The post cards of the dozen selected images were just a few highlights in a whole library of compelling images of the very best that Haverhill represents. I was priviledged to be the facilitator of a project which, due to the dedication and professionalism of The Design Office, has not only delivered a powerful set of photographic images to promote Haverhill as a fine place on many counts but has also left a significant and precious record of Haverhill to be enjoyed and appreciated by generations to come."
The Design Office over the past year have provided Days Inn Haverhill with some fantastic advert designs, banner designs and more. I have found them to be incredibly helpful, friendly and have produced some excellent work. Many thanks for this from Donna Revell, General Manager, Days Inn Haverhill.

Selina Austin has a brilliant understanding of the importance of creating an effective brand. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Selina and The Design Office team for any creative project - and I've been a graphic designer myself for 32 years so I know good creative people when I meet them!
