Love the team at Leading Hand! I've been working with them in my capacity as Advocacy and Communications Manager at Community Legal Centres Australia since mid-2024. They've produced simple, effective branding for a major project, a new, streamlined brand identity we're about to rollout across our social media platforms and boosting our capacity to produce engaging video content to promote our work. The team's commitment to supporting for-purpose work make them a perfect fit for our organisation and we can see ourselves working with them for the foreseeable future.

Leading Hand Design – and especially Jake and Brett - were exceptional to work with. Jake took the time to truly understand the brief and brought the video series to life with incredible attention to detail. His customer service was brilliant: responsive, collaborative, and nothing was ever too much to ask. The editing process was smooth, thoughtful and delivered to a really high standard.
Highly recommend Leading Hand for anyone looking for creative, professional and reliable design and video production support.

Brett and the team at Leading Hand were great to work with. They listened to what we wanted and needed and created a great looking website for us that has the capability to do what we needed. They were easy to work with, and both creatively and technically innovative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone.

The team at the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre has been dealing with Leading Hand for a number of years and it's been a fantastic experience. Not only is their work first-class, but the designers are so efficient, patient and easy to work with. They always meet deadlines - including the last-minute ones we surprise them with - and their work is always of the same high standard. I would recommend them to any business, looking to put their best branding foot forward.
