Risk Management Solutions have used both the graphic design and
photography services of Andy Brown on a number of occasions. We were
looking for a graphic designer with flair and imagination, which is what
Andy provides. His services are very cost effective and we are certainly
happy with the quality of design Andy has and continues to provide.
About Enquire Design
Well it is said that a graphic designer is a “Socially accepted nerd”... I'm happy with that.
I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and have always had admiration for anything visually pleasing. This led onto a focused education in the area of art & design. In 2008 I completed the Bachelor of design degree at Christchurch Polytechnic, majoring in photography and web design.
Design is a way of life now—I'm unable to look at an advertisement without critically analysing it. I notice that when I'm reading my children their story books at bedtime that the font is in Futura Medium, and I can acheive 100% on I Love Typography's Font Game (give it a nudge, it's fun as).
I actively push my design work to create a fine balance of functionality and beauty. It has to work—and it has to look good. One won't do it for me, I find a way to acheive both in any project. When not hiding behind a glowing apple or peeking through my camera, you'll find me spending time with my family, and struggling to find time to play my guitar.
How Enquire Works
As I currently work full-time as an in-house designer for EOS Ecology, my weekly freelance hours average around 15, meaning I am only open to take on projects that don't have restrictive timeframes. Sometimes, even when you have a couple of months up your sleeve, there is still the possibility that my workload is too full to take on more. Of course this is when I get offered the coolest and most interesting projects! In this instance I can recommend a few design agencies around Christchurch that may be able to help.
Although Enquire Design is not a full service design agency (yet), there are definitely some perks for working with a smaller freelance company like me.
- One contact person. There is simply no misinterpretion of communication. No sales reps who have no idea about design, it's just you and me, keeping things as simple as possible.
- Working from a home-based studio allows for a competitive design rate.
- I have established good relationships with outsources like printers and webhosts, not just ordinary companies, but like-minded people who stand fully behind the quality of their work/service. This allows me to get on with what I'm good at, and forward on the other stuff to what they are good at.
- The customer service is astounding! Take a look through this site and check out some of the testimonials.
