Testimonials
“The world has been awakening to the power of good design for a couple of decades. David beat us there by a couple more. He is the consummate design thinker. He’s always—and I mean always—enlarging his view of every project beyond the limits of the brief. He calls [it] “Strategic Design” and those two skill sets (and mindsets) interact as a singular creative force. Highly regarded. Highly recommended.”
— GP, Greg Perry, Creative Evangelist at Large (1964-2017)
“Stahl’s a creative thinker. And like a psychologist, with his numerous questions, [he] helped me piece together a brand story puzzle that matched my vision. We have a good product but we had a homemade rough-edged look. The [branding] process got us ready for the national stage. They crafted the words and with beautiful graphics helped us attract employees and receive countless compliments from people in and, outside the industry. People tell us they read the story … and identify with it! You can’t ask for much more than that.”
— Ted Brown, CEO, Lantz Medical
“David has designed Lilly Endowment’s annual reports for 25 years. We have appreciated his conscientious approach and the thoughtful ways in which his design skill complement the content and tone of our reports.”
— N. Clay Robbins, president and CEO of Lilly Endowment Inc.
“Two things come to mind when I think of my experience working with Mr Stahl. From the first time we met, he pushed me, and made me clarify my purpose and my message with his questions. It was uncomfortable at first but ultimately very purposeful. Second, he was so supportive, and he made his process specific to me. The whole thing just worked!
Perhaps the unintended consequence was, I got to feeling very confident about my material, and myself. I have less worry and I feel polished and more professional. I’d recommend Stahl to anyone.”
— Michael Kaplan, president, Strategic Solutions LLC
“David was the catalyst that moved me forward to change my 18-year-old corporate image. He designed and created a twenty-first century, mobile ready website, new corporate image, and clear company messaging.
I would highly recommend allowing David to assist your company by utilizing his in-depth analysis, problem-solving, wordsmithing and skillful design. He can help you create an image for your future.”
— Gary Stafford, president, The Stafford Group
“David helped us identify what we are really selling, and set us up for the future.
We engaged him in 2002 about a name change, which became an in-depth company evaluation. Stahl guided our leadership through a process to determine what path the company would take going forward. We ended up with a new marketing approach that has led folks to view us as a true problem solving partner, not just a vendor.
We still work together today. I like that David explains not just how our marketing should look and feel, but also why it should be a certain way.
Stahl is creative, but also purpose-based. He’s able to understand your business regardless of the category. I certainly recommend him.”
—Vince Todd, Jr., vice president, ACCESSA Coatings Solutions
“I highly recommend David for anyone who’s looking for web content that can make them stand out.
We hired David to interview and photograph members of our staff. Our people are our biggest assets, and we wanted to tell their stories on our website. David’s interviewing skills took the content to another level, and the photographs are very expressive. He knows how to get people to relax and open up.
Clients tell us that these stories make them feel more connected to our company, and I don’t think that would have happened without David’s great work.”
—John Taylor, CEO, ECU Staffing
