KIND WORDS
Katrien rocked my branding! I wanted to box on branding ideas inside my head and she was the perfect sparring partner. For me, I wanted to infuse ENERGY into my brand because that's I want to offer to my clients. And she was really able to help me design "energy" on a level that I couldn't do by myself. Colors, fonts and feel is one area she dominates, but being able to discuss on a deep level about what you want to stand for and how that could look like....that's the magic I needed.
I have had the pleasure to work with Katrien on the Rebranding of my company. I have searched for a long time for somebody that "gets" what I want to express. She is a talented and gifted out of the box thinker and very creative in conceptual thinking. She has a great eye for the big picture and the needed details! She really works with you on a project and is not afraid of giving creativity the time it needs to evolve in powerful results! With her you are in good hands for whatever project you would like to work with!
With Katrien Riks you have a design game-changer. Someone who brings design to the next level by combining all senses - including the sixth sense - with her natural intelligence. I hired Katrien to do my logo and brand design after seeing some of the original work in her portfolio. In that case, my sixth sense was absolutely spot on. Not only does she have a special talent for creating unique designs that are bold, daring, inviting, and beautiful at once - she is also a thoughtful, dedicated and determined artist in the full sense who clearly aims for the best. She took all of my key wishes to heart - from wanting something elegant to adding a bit of humour. She truly got me and what I do. I have enjoyed collaborating with her during the entire process, from concept to end.
