Design House was contacted by Mercia Stoltz a now Brisbane based Solicitor starting her own Firm to develop the businesses branding. Design House worked in closely with Mercia to create the Firm’s colours, logo, letterheads, with comp slips, business cards and email signature, paying particular attention to keep everything uniform and extremely professional. A domain name www.stoltzlaw.com.au was purchased for email hosting initially and ready for the expansion to a website.

“Working with Design House made the experience of creating a logo an easy and enjoyable one. Jeanette and Ben’s approachability and patience made it easy to ask all the questions and get all the advice which I may otherwise have been to uncomfortable to ask. Their professionalism and their prompt and effective work ethic resulted in branding that I am proud of and that I believe gives me an important edge at this exciting stage of my career.”
