Profile
Design One was established in 1989 as a design business with a passion for design
that we continue to relish today. A passion which we combine with our innate belief
that design is an essential component, both strategically and tactically, for all
businesses and organisations in order for them to succeed, whatever their mission.
Over the last sixteen years we have enjoyed meeting the communications
challenges of many varied public and private sector organisation clients. This has
given us a wealth of experience, upon which we can draw, to make sound judgment;
including making choices about the type of work we enjoy and excel at and the
types of client we work well with. In this way we not only squeeze the most out of
our resources and maximise the effectiveness of our client’s budget, but also we
manage our workload so as to give us proper time to create a safety margin to
maintain our 100% on time delivery record.
Our skill sets encompass the printed and electronic medium covering brand creation,
development, management and design for specific campaigns and communication
initiatives including: brochures; flyers; various bound documents/information
systems; posters; display and exhibition; CD-Roms; websites.
In summary, we provide creativity, accuracy, fast response, cost effectiveness,
empathy for your audience and a desire to make doing business with Design One as
easy, enjoyable, effective and efficient as possible.
