Rob Sutton — Independent Designer, Hula Creative

“Chris is the ‘dog’s dusters’ when it comes to all things typographical and design… He is diligent, considered and deeply knowledgeable, as well as extremely talented when it comes to Mac ability. His craft skills with layout and type are now matched by his retouching and Photoshop mastery, making him an absolute goldmine when it comes to studio resources. I worked closely with Chris for a number of years and would do so again in a heartbeat. He’s also a loyal, funny and all-round top bloke with great taste in music.”
