I have worked with Designit for over 20 years now but more recently on projects for RDS Membership and promotion of the Members’ Club. Particularly I have worked with Frank Murphy who I have found to be extremely personable and easy to deal with. Frank offers great creativity and attention to detail when it comes to design of anything from promotional brochures to adverts and point of sale material. Alongside his design skills he keeps me informed when it comes to timelines and delivery of work. I would not hesitate to recommend Designit.
