"Ted Smolak and I have been colleagues on the board of The Friends of Fort York since 2003, and among the volunteers who publish its Fife & Drum newsletter. This exposure has given me a great respect for his integrity, design skills, ability to work hard under pressure and unfailing cheerfulness. If I were starting a new venture, or going tiger-hunting, Ted would be my first choice of partner."
"Ted created a stunning and memorable logo to launch our new firm that suits our industry perfectly. From initial discussions to concept creation and final implementation, Ted's thorough and professional approach was evident throughout the process. We are extremely pleased with the logo and stationary design and now have a strong visual brand to build upon. I look forward to working with Ted on other projects in the future."
"Since initially designing our logo when we were a new start-up, Ted has been with us every step of the way helping develop our brand. Regardless of what project we throw at him, he not only delivers wonderfully creative work, but also keeps us on brand and on budget. The new design of our website and van wrap are only the latest examples of his multidisciplinary skills. We couldn't be more pleased with his services."
"Ted was a delight to work with. His design sense captured our theme perfectly and the banner attracts immediate attention with our museum visitors. His historical knowledge and deep respect for the subject matter was evident in his design concept and suggested improvements. The result was a banner design that is both impactful and informative."
"I have worked with Ted on many projects both large and small. Consistently thorough and thoughtful, he is one of those people who is an asset to have on your team. He has never let me down and has frequently gone to extraordinary lengths to meet tight deadlines. Ted takes ownership for each and every project and often makes suggestions to improve the final product while working within budgetary demands. I would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for design services!"
