Visitor Services Manager, National Trust
“I would like to make a firm recommendation for the team at Kind Design who did a fantastic job of working with us in the creation of a new family activity pack earlier this year. At the time the National Trust had just gone through a re-branding, so we had completely new branding guidelines to work with, and our project was one of the earliest projects tackled by external designers. Kind Design did a fantastic job of interpreting the new guidelines to make a highly attractive package for families and children, which has since been showcased nationally.
They were a fantastic team to work with. At the beginning of the project, they did a lot of work with us to help shape how the final outcome would look, which in turn influenced the content. They worked with high quality illustrators and proof readers which really helped improve the quality of the final product. They were patient, understanding and very flexible in their ways of working. In terms of budget management and project management, they worked to a strict budget and timelines, clearly communicating with us at every stage, and at times keeping us on track as well!
In terms of the product they created, it has been a massive success with the children and families who visit. On average during the summer holidays 8 packs a day were taken out and used, with many families returning again and again to use the resource.
I found them to be highly professional, innovative and capable and I really enjoyed working with them all. We will be continuing to work with Kind Design for delivery of future projects and I would definitely recommend them to other organisations.”

During the growth of CRI, Kind Design have adapted to our needs and requirements and now support over 150 of our services to produce a range of promotional publications from leaflets to workbooks and banners. Kind Design have always understood the diversity of the services we provide and have been effective in meeting each individual services requirement including meeting deadlines, working to tight budgets and liaising with other external stakeholders such as commissioners, ensuring their needs are also met.”

Director, Tinderbox
“We have worked with Kind Design on several successful projects – including the design and production of our collateral which never ceases to impress potential clients. Given the creativity and quality we had come to know, then we had no hesitation in partnering with Kind Design on the production of an
animation and booklet with the team on behalf of BP.
We were on a very strict deadline over the Christmas and New Year period, but nevertheless every milestone was met, as well as the quality expectations. The solutions developed from the initial brief were executed creatively within the brand guidelines, and were readily embraced by the client. The attractive nature of the final design made the roll-out of the material easy and engaging for the customer group. I would have no hesitation in working with Kind Design on any size of project, for any of our clients in the future.”
