Simon Paterson, Principal, Strathfield South High School

“I commissioned Leading Hand to design large murals to serve as the public face of my school. Brett and his team were meticulous in their consultation and desire to understand my school’s context to ensure that my school and community’s needs were met. The finished product is outstanding, and has received unanimous praise from within and outside the school for the way that the designs and colours lift what were previously drab, red brick spaces. The team at Leading Hand are fantastic to work with and are very clearly focused on delivering exactly what their clients require to ensure a unique, professional service that truly reflects the character of space their designs are serving. I would certainly work with Leading Hand again whenever I needed a distinctive, thoughtful design for a space of any size.”

 

Lucy Abbott, QLife National Project Manager, LGBTI Alliance

Leading Hand quite literally led us by the hand to create a fabulous new website. I didn’t even think there was too much wrong with the original site until I saw how different it could be. The new site is easy and intuitive to use. The design is unique and contemporary, giving us a site that stands out, and reaches out to users. The team at Leading Hand listened to our requirements, were gentle with their expertise, and responded with innovation and care.

Leading Hand recently did a beautiful job of my logo, re-branding and website.
They made the whole experience seamless and really listened and worked with me to provide a very modern and fresh look.
I couldn’t be happier with the end result and would highly recommend Leading Hand.

 

Sarah Stanton-French, International Education Adviser, Austrade

“The entire team at Leading Hand were a pleasure to work with. They delivered a large-scale project with numerous, concurrent deliverables, in a tight timeframe, with a finite budget. Their project management skills and design outputs were to a very high standard. They were solution-focussed and often suggested multiple work-arounds when presented with a challenge. They also shared insights and lessons from their industry experience freely. I look forward to continue to working with them!”

 

Patty Zenonos, Executive Officer, Nursing Research Institute

Recommend Lending Hand Design wholeheartedly. They are the best design team I have worked with. They are so professional, incredibly creative, quick to grasp concepts and have turned out an exceptional report with very little revision required – and all within the committed deadlines. I can’t say enough about the quality, the attention to detail and the efficiency and effectiveness of their team. Plus they are just bloody nice people. Thank you LH!

Leading Hand created a new logo for CaringKids charity. The deisgn and consultation process was so easy and the end result was outstanding. The actual logo design itself exceeded our expectations. It unified our team and volunteers, it’s brought supporters toward us, and most importantly – it is genuinely loved by the families we assist. Thank you to all the team at Leading Hand for putting your creative talents together and coming up with something that is really unique!

Jonathan Llewellyn, Marketing & Communications Manager, Riverside Theatres
We have been working with the team at Leading Hand for more than five years. They are an essential part of our day to day and feel more a part of the team than an agency. They are always professional but can have a laugh and relate as humans when needed. They are great at bouncing ideas off and coming up with creative solutions to challenges as they arise. They are efficient and quick in their work but importantly ask questions when things aren’t clear or need clarification. The skills across the team complement each other well and provide a service that is well rounded in an offer to a potential client. They get our business and design needs and are a real pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a great team of designers to work with, especially in the arts space, talk to them – you’ll be surprised.

 

Fergus Kibble, Founder & Managing Director, FORWARD Agency
“Leading Hand have a ‘can-do’ attitude. They are easy to work with and have always come up with simple, elegant and beautiful work.”
