I love it when my clients have their say …

“Tygher Design is not your typical firm. In fact, since 1990, the quality, care and attention the Founder has provided in a diverse range of sectors has been exemplary. We have used Mr. Gherman’s skills which are bar none. If you have a Vision, he has the equal artistic flair to complement your needs.”

Raymond Kisun Alexander Christian Business Development Corporation

“Oh yeah! Let me give you some amazing feedback on the name and logo for Dryvan. This afternoon, a CBSA officer saw our truck crossing for the first time. He goes to our driver, ‘your company name and logo are the best I’ve ever seen’. Then he pointed to another truck, KPS trucking or something. He’s like ‘what is that? Nobody will ever remember that’. 'But your name and logo, I will never forget.’ Thanks Terry! We got exactly what we wanted ... Our drivers take pride in the name and logo as well. It’s very fitting to the culture of the company and what we are trying to do. Straight forward and simple!”

Jimmy Dhaliwal DRYVAN LOGISTICS

“I have worked with a number of designers over my career (though not nearly as many as I should have) and my interactions with Terry have been very valuable. He is a strategic thinker and can get beyond just he design into the Business and Information Architecture as well. I found this knowledge to be invaluable to me as a product owner/technical resource as I could interact with Terry to come up with an optimal solution. These brain storming sessions allowed us to move the product to new levels. The outcomes from the front end through the back end database provided the clients with an excellent solution that they approved and moved into production.”

Jonathon McIntyre CTO, i-Open Technologies
