The Department

I've worked with Richard / The Department on several projects over the years. He's been professional, responsive, and thoughtful in his approach. He is also very reasonably priced for the work he provides. I would recommend him.

I worked with Richard Leighton and The Department when I was considering a refresh on my brand and website. Working with Richard was a wonderful experience. In redesigning my logo, my website and creating a new business card that reflected my fashion business, I found him to be meticulous, timely, and creative. I highly recommend The Department for all your design needs.

as a small business owner who recognizes the value of strong marketing, its difficult to find the time to execute on a vision or ideas you have. and if you dont have experience in marketing strategy, often times the effort you put into marketing doesnt have the desired outcome. and trying to execute piecemeal elements of marketing outside of a single focused strategy, the effect is clumsy and also lacks effectiveness. these are all reasons why i reached out to richard at the department. despite thinking that I already knew what I wanted.. richard's process opened my eyes to many elements and factors I hadnt realized were crucial in developing a brand identity. we took several steps back to really look at who we are as a business and how we wanted our customers to see us. ill be honest, there were times when I was anxious and wanted to rush the process.. but richards patience and insistence on taking the right steps towards really discovering what was the best path paid huge dividends in the end result. we didnt always agree on choices and decisions, but its these disagreements that ultimately led to some of the biggest successes of the process of working together. in the end richard came up with some amazing work for us, and I couldnt recommend him more. I will continue to use the department for all of our marketing communication/pieces in the future.
