Testimonial
“[I was] looking for a new direction in my photography: moving more towards travel, away from my fine art. Samantha came up with an amazing logo design with an orange plane, which I love. It hits the point right on the head for me, you see the plane and you think travel. All of the design aesthetics are cohesive and sleek, again, just the type of design I was looking to accomplish.”
