“Atwood Design Studio has brought a new level of creativity and insight to Evolution. Their extensive knowledge of brand identity and design have helped us define ourselves as a company, which in turn has opened doors. The experience has always been extremely worthwhile and pleasurable. I don't know how we survived so long without them.”
- Mark Shockley, CEO, Evolution L.A.
"I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years and have run several small businesses throughout this time. I have worked with countless "graphic designers" and "web specialists." Needless to say I have been very disappointed in the past. People like to call me uptight or unrealistic when it comes to how I like work done and my deadlines. I am used to delays in delivery coupled with a vision that doesn't match up to what I had envisioned. It is rare to find someone who can be creative and professional in one package. Atwood Design Studio has done what I thought to be impossible.
I was skeptical when I first met with Rick, but he had me at ease with his ability to put into layman's terms what he could do for me. Not only was he brilliant from start to finish artistically but he did it in a timely fashion! He was able to connect with my business by asking me a series of questions no one had ever thought of asking. He delved into the "ins and outs" of my vision and presented me a complete marketing solution from content to color design that blew my mind! He has not rested and continues to improve my product on a daily basis. He has given me a complete solution in my training business that is unparalleled in my industry and has allowed me to stay above my competition. I would like to extend a "whole-hearted" thank you to Rick, I am very thankful for all you have done for me. I consider Atwood Design Studio to be an integral part of my business and I would not want to continue without his help."
- Greg Faunce & Jessica Jordan, OC Trainer

“Rick is the only designer I know who has the skills and death-wish to work with me. I bring him "writer" ideas. He grins, shows me graphically what I meant to say and asks, "What about this?" Then we gently begin our creative wrestling match. The work always ends up being the champion.”
- Brian O'Neill, Former Vice Chairman, GoldbergMoserO'Neill

- Elizabeth Emmett, Public Information Officer, Napa County, California
