«Gatis is an amazing graphic designer. He rebranded my logo and look a few years ago and knocked it out of the park! He is easy to work with and communicates well with anyone who needs my logos or ads. He has designed stationery, business cards, billboards and other print and digital ads for my dental practice. Gatis is professional and down to earth. He is prompt and always delivers on time. I look forward to working with him for the rest of my career. From branding dental practices to designing album covers, this guy can do it all- and do it excellently! He designed my fiancé’s last 3 album covers and they are the best ones yet. If you have the opportunity to work with Gatis, you will be blown away and lucky to work alongside one of the best graphic designers in the industry.»

«The best experience I've had with a graphic designer. Absolutely love the logo Gatis designed for Los Lunas Technology. It was a smooth process, and he gave design options in ways the logo could go. Updated me on the process. If you need someone to bring the thought of your logo to reality, Gatis is your designer.»
