Timo was Igor’s client

"I 'found' Igor originally because I needed a graphical designer capable of creating icons for user interfaces, a skill that is surprisingly hard to find. We were so impressed by his work that we decided to finally get the whole corporate identity from him. He can provide great results in a very short time and also provide good input on the visual side of marketing strategies."

"Igor is one of the most visionary designers I know, and he balances this with a passion for his industry (indeed, all creative endeavors). This is evidenced by his blog, on which he has regularly kept the world abreast of Scandinavian design—an effort that is to be commended. In addition, Igor has a strong ethical awareness which complements his ‘day job’ and his blogging particularly well."
