Meet the people, the businesses, the industry leaders that have worked with us.
“Principle Design was fantastic to work with. They facilitated sessions with us and our stakeholders to truly understand our service, our position in the industry and how we wanted to represent ourselves. They were efficient in the design process, very open to feedback and flexible when making changes.”
Naomi
Communications Adviser | Victorian Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Service
“Principle Design delivered a polished tier 1 level of branding and our company has gone from strength to strength since the transition. The team’s professionalism and friendliness gave us confidence in our branding strategy throughout the process. Can’t recommend them highly enough.”
Drew
BIM & Innovation Manager | Matter Consulting
“Couldn’t have been more impressed with the way in which Principle Design handled our branding project and delivered on the brief. They transformed our tired, stuffy branding into something bold and modern that our firm is genuinely proud of.”
Jackson
Solicitor | Haines & Polites Lawyers
“It has been a pleasure working on a number of different design and branding projects with Sash and the team for over 9 years now. They’re a great team which I highly recommend.”
Aaron
Marketing Manager | Melbourne University
“I’m genuinely thrilled with the brand identity created by Principle Design. It’s bold, modern, and distinctive, perfectly aligned with our vision. The brief was challenging: we were looking for something iconic and innovative, while honouring tradition and cultural depth.
The result is timeless, thoughtful, and a perfect fit for Melbourne’s vibrant food culture. It has helped shape Nori Maki not just as a restaurant, but as an experience. Principle delivered something truly special, an identity that reflects who we are. Thank you to the team for bringing our vision to life.”
Steven
Owner | Nori Maki
“The team at Principle Design were fantastic to work with. They were always very professional, communicated regularly and clearly and completed their projects when they said they would (unlike many creatives). They did a fantastic job creating our new name, website, social media strategy and branded collateral.”
