Testimonials
Natalie Staaks, ResilientCo and The Resilience Canpy
Cari is a creative genius with the ability to implement her ideas in a practical way for clients. I've worked with Cari across two branding exercises - one from scratch as part of the development of a new organisation, and one a re-brand of an existing business. She listened, researched, presented fabulously creative concepts, and refined the ideas to deliver impactful and lovely work. She's used to dealing with busy people, knows when to nudge, knows what to present when. Her enthusiasm is matched only by her skills and she's been an integral part of our work behind the scenes, in a highly visible way! Highly recommend.

Cari is that special blend of artful and clever, bringing her whole self to each design project we’ve worked on. Each concept she creates has been the result of thoughtful planning of possibilities, narrative and purpose. My go-to collaborator on all things brand design, she transforms mere ideas and words into your vision, on a beautifully illustrated page.

“We have recently had the pleasure of working alongside Paperplane Collective and what a wonderful professional experience it has been. At the production end of branding we regularly come across design teams that can produce a pretty visual identity for our clients, but seldom back up their service with sound professional and well executed brand rollouts. This was not the case with Paperplane Collective. From the word go they have produced and managed a seamless project, that we as the producers of branding content elements saved extreme amount of time and money for our clients. We urge you to consider them for any projects you need professional creative services for.”

I was daunted by creating a logo for my new business that reflected my ideas and "vibe". I was delighted to find Cari who listened so carefully and applied her creativity to multiple concepts that we were able to tweak to find the perfect design. Very happy with the results which included my beautiful logo, design elements, and templates. I have now worked with Cari on multiple projects and have had the same experience each time... imagination, creativity, excellent communication and designs matching project intent and vision! I highly recommend Cari for your next design piece!

“When you work with Cari, you gain an expert designer on your team who is just as committed to your project as you are.
Cari worked with us to design two groundbreaking climate solutions reports that have won us accolades far and wide. We wanted to communicate two very technical and potentially ‘dry’ topics - cement and manufacturing - in a way that was accessible and exciting for a broad audience. Cari worked with us to translate facts and figures into beautiful infographics and design. She’s a great listener, and always open to feedback.
If you want an outstanding designer who works with you - then you want Paperplane Collective.”
