Yorkali quickly comprehended the idea behind my role and my business and helped me to create a quality brand representation via the logo and web design. He is a genuinely kind and talented service provider!
Yorkali provided graphic design services for various projects at Dell. I had the privilege of working with him on several occasions. He was always very creative and extremely responsive. He meet all deadlines and came to meetings with great ideas while still being flexible enough to listen to suggestions and adapt to changes in project direction. Yorkali is easy to work with and has a upbeat positive attitude. I have recommended Yorkali to at least 3 businesses outside of Dell. Each business has partnered with him and were highly satisfied with his work. The Imaji Nation’s prices are extremely reasonable and he is willing to work with you to ensure cost effectiveness. Whenever possible, I turn to Yorkali for graphic design work.
Yorkali is an out of the box thinker who embodies an eclectic mix of traditional and cutting edge approaches in his work. He is particularly skilled at catching and latching on to an expressed idea even when the client has only a kernel of thought. His responsive work even at first draft usually expresses both the spirit (emotion) and letter (content) in an incredibly creative way!
