When we started our mobile wood-fired pizza business in 2013, we contacted Watermark Design about a logo. We were 2 owners with pretty different ideas of how the business should 'look' but after just one short meeting they totally nailed it. We both looked at the first logo option they sent and said 'that's it'! Since then, we have worked with them on refreshing that logo, banners, ads, web graphics, etc. and it has been a great experience each time. We really feel that our branding has directly affected the growth of our business. Having a cohesive, professional look makes festival attendees,

Watermark Design did great work on our annual gala invitation! They perfectly captured the style of our event in their design, were easy to work with and kept to our timeline. Many of our guests complimented the elegance of the invitation and it really popped in mailboxes. Thank you Darcey and Jena for your awesome work!
