What my clients have to say…
It takes a wickedly agile mind to convert vision into reality. We came to Tim with a dream to make the world better by defending the dignity of migrants around the globe… Tim turned that idea into an identity. From a logo that captures our organizational culture to a website that presents our programmatic purpose, Tim Preut Design was more than our design agency - he was a partner in the creation and growth of our brand.
Tim pulls off the impossible at blazing speed, while infusing each product with refreshing creativity.
Arturo Rodriguez
Founder @Inalienable
Tim was great to work with! Working collaboratively with him to create our SO/GI website was easy thanks to his awesome communication and organizational skills. He created video tutorials for me to be able to do what I needed to do in order to move the project forward, which was so helpful! We are looking forward to finding a reason to work with Tim Preut Design again in the future!
