The Marin Design Agency created a logo for my latest clinic, which deals with pelvic health physical therapy. I requested they incorporate a trailhead symbol and a butterfly to represent the pelvis and ensure it was appropriate for adult and pediatric patients. My primary objective was to make the design inviting and playful while avoiding a spa-like look. They produced a fantastic and vibrant design featuring a path slicing through a butterfly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• I was given a number of "assignments" to complete to help the artist understand what I wanted. I was sourcing examples and providing them, and then the designer would ask detailed questions to help her understand what I wanted. All of this communication took place through her portal and email; we had two virtual design meetings.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The Marin Agency process works well for those who are able to meet her strict guidelines; clients are given a window of time to respond. This does keep the project on track and ensures forward movement. The agency does not make any time commitments, but their response time is reasonable: usually within a few days. Any client needs must be expressed in writing through their portal.

What was your primary form of communication with Marin Design Agency?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their processes were highly commendable. They hold the client accountable, and usually, it's the reverse. But in doing so, decisions are made and the project moves forward.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Marin Design Agency could have done differently?

There needs to be a way to communicate with them outside the portal. They insist that all communication take place within the portal, but that only happens when they are ready to move on to the next step. Any technical difficulties with the portal itself cannot be addressed in real time.
