John Rose created the logo for #ProjectHelpYouGrow! He knocked it out of the park. I would recommend him to anyone who needs design work!

Always such a pleasure working with John Rose! His work is first class.

John Rose does an amazing job. I think my favorite thing working with him is how easy it is. I have hired graphic designers in the past who have very bad attitudes.
Not John. He is so pleasant to work with and always turns our projects around quickly.
Also, he follows your instruction well but also puts his own spin on things.... which are always warmly received.
