Testimonials

I have been engaging Seth for various projects and pitches since 2011. Seth has a very broad reach of understanding regarding various market sectors and the grey areas between them. His multidisciplinary skills as an artist and designer to analyze, innovate and produce very high quality work that lands on target is indispensable to complete quite a variety of assets for projects. Most recently Seth’s help was indispensable, giving the right face and emotion to the winning Avatar Xprize pitch that will be launching this year (22M budget). Seth created not only the branding, posters and short teaser video for Avatar, Working with both the Japanese ANA and the American Xprize teams, Seth also created supporting assets for the technical power point presentation that helped to visualize and contextualize concepts that had yet to be fleshed out.

I would not hesitate to hire him again when the opportunity arises.

Earlier this year, we decided our health and wellness business needed an overhaul. It didn’t take much in the way of contemplation for us to choose Seth Rowanwood – we were already familiar with his formidable skills in graphic design, and needed someone who could manage both our rebranding and the redesign of our website.

Starting with in-person meetings and a comprehensive workbook to assist us in better understanding key aspects of our business, Seth was attentive in guiding us through an organic process of rediscovering ourselves and the unique services we provide to our clientele. Using our feedback and keeping open communication with us through every step of the process, he conceived our new logo, new website and related promotional material, providing us with an authentic reflection of who we are and what we offer. Questions were answered in a timely manner, and afterward we were given the support needed to help manage the day-to-day maintenance of our new site.

We’ll easily recommend Seth to anyone seeking to create, retool or remodel their brand. His knowledge, professionalism, courteousness and understanding make him a standout in the field.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter regarding the qualifications of Seth Rowanwood, an artist/iinterface designer who recently worked with our firm.
Seth is a highly creative individual with a keen eye for style. We have been quite pleased with the appearance of his work – obviously, the number one characteristic for a designer – but also with the working process. He knows how to work with a team to help them define and explore the meaning and purpose of what they are doing, and can then use that knowledge effectively to help build branding concepts and specific visuals for a brand or a group of brands.
I am very particular about the look and feel of the materials that we use, and about specific aspects such as fontography. Seth has a great sense for fonts and how to use them effectively.
I look forward to the opportunity to work again with Seth on another project.
I will be happy to discuss our experiences in more detail, if desired.

Seth shot and edited a promo video for me to showcase my dance skills. We had loads of amazing footage to choose from and Seth was efficient and created a 1 minute video. I was very clear that I wanted it to be short and sweet and he utilized every second for high impact wow factor. He is professional and a pleasure to work with. I sat beside him during the creative process and he walked me through his different tactics for choosing certain shots at specific times. He knew editing techniques that would attract and hold an audience’s attention to keep watching until the end. Even if I didn’t have the time to sit with him during the post production, I would still have chosen Seth to edit because I trust his skills and expertise.

Fully knowedgable and expertly skilled as apparent from the get-go, Seth has the ability to recognize nuances and embrace the meaning of the narrative in a story-line. Forward thinking, Seth has a classy approach in translating ideas into a highly creative process which he meets with genuine passion for the craft. The end result was a truly fulfilling end product.

S.R. sponsored the design of Pueblito Canada’s general brochure, in addition to providing valuable advice on branding and the development of an institutional logo. The service was timely and professional, the staff was creative and insightful. On behalf of all Pueblito staff members and Board of Directors, thank you, Seth, for sharing your expertise! Your dedication to helping non-profits is truly appreciated.

Truly a wizard of images, Seth is able to pluck them from the mind and present them better than you imagined them. While going through the creative process with him and observing him work his magic on branding and design, I quickly found myself completely open and trusting of his opinions. Seth can always be expected to deliver nothing less than impressive work even under a tight deadline.

Seth not only branded our business, but brought our vision into further clarity in the process.  He was immediately able to see and deepen the mystical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual elements of our work, weave them together, and create a beautiful brand that we still receive so many compliments on.  Seth is a visual magician… he has a gift for channelling the essence of what people are working toward, and crystallizing that essence in his designs.  Hire him while you can!

Seth has worked on the covers for two of our books, both part of a series with a complex concept. It’s hard to illustrate quasi-immortal shamans with an urban fantasy/thriller feel and not look like every other urban fantasy cover on the block. Yes, somehow Seth hits the mark every time. Especially lovely are the visual cues he adds to the image. For example, for the latest cover he added a stylized phylogenetic tree and a glimpse of a cave painting. It’s delightful to work with an artist who embraces a book to the extent Seth does, absorbing its meaning and translating it visually.

Seth Rowanwood is more than an incredibly talented artist. He works hard to listen and intuit the “story” for which he is developing a concept. You want him on your project!

Seth Rowanwood has created the brand and image for our honey business. His artistic talent shines through all his images and he got just the look we were seeking. Our new labels will definitely stand out and promote the value we place on our bees and hive products.

Seth Rowanwood was introduced to me by a mutual friend, who had a logo and business card designed for her by him. I was very impressed by the design and its poignant relevance to the business. Subsequently, Seth and I began an enlightening journey to establishing a logo and identity for a new company I was launching.

A thorough discussion of my objectives and thoughts was undertaken by Seth. I was astounded at how in sync we had become during the initial thoughts process. The resulting logo is intriguing, and has the impact that I desired. Seth’s intuitive understanding made the process a joy. We now have formed a valuable, and trusted, partnership to further develop the business identity.

Working with Seth on my website build was easy and even fun. Seth designed a gorgeous logo and brand theme for me, and I still get compliments on the logo. I’m so grateful for Seth’s wise and future-oriented advice, which intuited what I needed before I even knew myself.

Seth did a fantastic job with our logo. He was able to take our original logo that we loved but needed some work and transform it into the beautiful artwork it is today.

I’d like to express my gratitude for the superb art services provided for my company. Seth is a very professional and talented artist with a variety of skills and great vision, and on top of that, He is a great person, compassionate and kind.

He assisted me on my SanRemo mural project, helped me finalize a digital art design for a future project, and created an amazing video art presentation from beginning to end. Including writing, art directing, filming, digital art adjustments, and editing. He delivered his services on-time and met my deadlines.

I’m grateful that I met him and for all the great things he did for me. He is a multi-talented artist, versatile, reliable, and hardworking. I highly recommend him and his art services.

Seth’s work for my new company has been above and beyond expectations. Not only was his intuition spot on; he thought of and diligently covered every detail efficiently with exceptional standards. What sets him apart from others though is his ability to help bring abstract concepts, formulates them into comprehensible constructs, and then presents them beautifully in intelligible presentations. An unquestionably talented artist not only in his music and art, but in his words as well, Seth has made the creative process of my brand an inspiring experience. Employing Seth was the best choice I could have made for both the growth of my company and myself as an entrepreneur. I have learned much about how to represent my work through our encounters where he displayed much patience and willingness to listen and exchange ideas. I would highly recommend his services with much confidence to anyone who requires the attentive and impeccable work of a versatile artist, and a genuine branding expert.

Seth Rowanwood is a 3D genius. He took our 2D logo [for World Psychedelics Day] and brought it to life with shimmering, understated elegance. He is an affable collaborator, always responsive to input, quickly offering multiple iterations for us to choose from. Of his own accord, he developed playful brand extensions that we found irresistible, which were ultimately tremendously useful to our [June 20] launch. A high level thinker with sophisticated hands-on chops. 

Seth is a true artist and professional from start to finish.

When Seth and I decided to work together, he took the time to visit my business and learn about what I do and how I want to grow. His attention to every little detail was impressive. Every suggestion he made was spot on, and his scope of vision into marketing and branding is incredible.

He put together the first draft of my logo and signboard design and absolutely nailed it on the first go. My business now presents better than I could have ever imagined.

So happy with the entire experience working with Seth and I can’t wait to hire him again for my next project.

Would recommend highly to anyone looking to take their branding to the next level.

Seth Rowanwood is not only a fantastic artist but also he is a tertiary innovator who designs his material and logos based on deep understanding of the organization’s mission and impact. Needless to say that Brain Mapping Foundation (BMF), Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT), Brain Technology and Innovation Park (BTIP) and G20 Summit/Neuroscience-20 are very high impact organizations with professional boards. Their complex work reflects online and Seth could design the logos that meet our very high standards. S.R. also has a great turn around for design and production, fantastic customer care and reasonable pricing. We have series of new on going projects with the company and highly recommend Seth Rowanwood and his company.

It’s hard to imagine how any words that I write about Seth’s work could possibly say more than the work itself.  Just look at it!

When I asked Seth to create the cover art for my band, Nomadica’s, debut cd, I knew he would give us something detailed, eye-catching and on schedule, but I have to say that he really outdid himself.  Seth created something so stunning that it never fails to elicit an “Oh My God this is gorgeous” type of response before the person even hears the music.  In Nomadica, I have the great pleasure and good fortune to work with some of the finest musicians in Canada.  I am over the moon that Seth has created a such a rich and playfully mystical visual dimension to our exuberant, elegant, wild-east-meets-west sound.  He really nailed it and I love sharing our recording all the more as a result!

When my book The Year of Drinking Magic: Twelve Ceremonies with the Vine of Souls was published by Apocryphile Press of San Francisco and became available on Amazon, I realized I needed a website — and fast!

I registered the URL for HipGnosis.co with BlueHost and looked into building my own website with what were purported to be easy-to-use templates and drag-and-drop tools. I quickly realized the learning curve would be steep to build a “glitch-free” website but — more importantly — it dawned on me that after all the work I’d done writing an amazing book, it’d be a shame to create anything less than an equally awesome website to promote it!

So I put the word out among my friends and on social media, saying I needed a really gifted (I actually meant “genius”) artist and graphic designer to design a site for me; one that would intuitively brand my book and other media offerings, and convert casual interest into real sales and ongoing relationships with site visitors.

Seth Rowanwood was quickly recommended to me by a friend for whom he also built a beautiful website. Rowanwood created a terrific website for me for a price that was reasonable by industry standards, and included a lot of added value. Not only does the site work well, but Rowanwood intuited the true spirit of my project and translated that into a rich visual experience for my site visitors and customers.

Whether your project is simple or complex, I recommend Seth Rowanwood as an artist and website designer for anyone who wants a website that goes beyond ordinary expectations.

We wanted a vehicle wrap that would look like a rolling piece of art expressing our ethic and vision … Numerous graphic artists were considered but only Seth had the combination of creative personal force and the varied and impressive resume to inspire confidence that he was the right choice. The results are nothing short of amazing, and our Veggie Gourmet cosmic chariot turns heads wherever it rolls. We couldn’t have done it without Seth.

I only had 3 conversations with Seth about my branding.  The first was to help me understand what I needed from a logo. The second was to talk ideas. And the third was to tell him which one I liked.  All in all a very easy experience.  He gets it.

Seth”s imagination and talents are vast, and this is evident in the work that he produces. More than simply designs, Seth’s creations are pieces of art that fulfill his clients” very specific needs and visions. When explaining to him my own vision, it was understood right away what I was aiming for and the direction I wanted to take. inklght was able to explain very clearly what it was I needed to do in order to accomplish those goals.

Seth is an amazing and talented artist. Not only did he work towards a common goal with my logo and branding, but he blew me out of the water. And then he developed a solid look and incorporated in my website. As an artist, it is very tough to allow someone to handle my work, and expand or recreate it. If someone is able to do that, without offending the original artist, or just outright stun them with such an amazing project, they are truly genius. I believe Seth has achieved that with the work he has done for me. Not only have I been extremely graced to have Seth work for me in regards to my branding, but others have raved about my new logo and website. Not even my harshest of critics had anything negative to say about the new look. Thanks Seth!

Seth was always the most creative guy in the room.  On a moment”s  notice, he”d be able to come up with the best name for a given product,  like say: “Brush with Death: Zombie Curling!”  Haha, how does he come up  with this stuff?    I”ve known Seth to be an incredibly productive artist who relishes the  opportunity to try new things.  His skill set is immense!  And I know  his heart”s always in the right place.  I”m sure he”d make a great  addition to any team he saw fit to work on.

…Unyielding, completely in the zen, zone and zest of design. Extremely knowledgeable of designer language and is very easy when explaining situations to clients that have no previous knowledge of the design world. Would recommend to anyone and have already…

I’ve admired Seth Rowanwood’s work for years.

When my website and logo needed revamping, I was happy to have the opportunity to have Seth work his magic and make my existing “nice” logo into a logo that is, in my opinion, really beautiful and caught my eye/heart the first time I saw it.

I appreciated that Seth took to heart my wants and values and reflected them into my website and logo. If I didn’t like a picture or how something looked, Seth and I were able to find a solution that worked for the design of the website and for my peace of mind/preferences.

Focus on what you want/value and Seth will most likely be able to work with you to make it happen.

I honestly believe one of the contributing factors to my Juno nomination was Seths brilliant artwork and package design.

His dynamic captivating use of color and space gave visualization to my musical journey.

I would love to say a few words about your generous gift of your talent to design the cover for my autobiography titled Silver Linings: My Life Before and After Challenger 7. You demonstrated a keen insight into creating symbolism to illustrate the heart of the story. The design, color and clarity are captivating and capture the true meaning and depth of the story. Your cover art is a marvelous illustration that beautifully complements the theme and story line of the book. Thank you.

Seth has a creative eye for detail and quickly captured the essence of who I was. Everyone who sees my business brochures and cards always remark on the clarity and visual impact they make. I love the passion Seth captures in his work and how his art makes an impression that really stays with you. I love what Seth did for my advertising! My brochures and business cards stand out and I constantly receive compliements on the clarity of their message and crisp artwork. Highly recommended.

I’ve admired Seth’s designs for years so when I needed a re-brand, I hired someone I could trust to build my very first online portfolio. The project required a new logo design, business cards, website, and a downloadable resume.
Seth was patient with my process as we developed one of the largest sites he’s ever built with close to 50 pages of content. Now I have a slick website to send potential clients to view video clips of relevant projects thus making networking that much easier.

Seth Rowanwood is a smart, skilled filmmaker. He quickly understood what I was hoping to achieve, and helped me create a script to address the main concepts. He was very dedicated to the project, and worked diligently until I was happy with the final outcome. I would not hesitate to request Seth’s skills again. I am comfortable recommending him to anyone looking for a beautiful, comprehensive, high quality film.

Seth is one of the most creative minds on the planet. His ability to articulate complicated visually stunning worlds in a variety of styles makes him my go-to person for create projects that count. Since we’ve worked together for almost 20 years, we have great communication which is important. He has never let me down on any creative project, Seth is a true creative genius who possesses a mastery of the tools. A real gem.

Seth transformed a generic-looking web site into one that is unique and welcoming. With a little input he created a personal and beautiful image that perfectly reflects me and my services. I trust his aesthetic sense and incredible graphic abilities.

I have worked with Seth for many years throughout various businesses I’ve had. Each time a different approach has been required, and Seth has taken my ideas and words and transformed them into visuals that capture and add additional elements that only an inspired designer & artist could.

We LOVE our new Press+1 logo created by Seth! The logo is super-cool, unique and dynamic; exactly what we were looking for and the audience response has been hugely positive. the Press+1 logo from Seth has not only changed the face of our magazine, it has been a source of inspiration and pride for our team.

Seth was a motivated, dedicated artist that was very passionate about creating great products.

Seth has one of the most creative minds I have ever encountered – his artistic and creative abilities continue to amaze me on a regular basis. I also appreciate the depth of his knowledge in so many deep subject matters, and how he integrates this into his art and his work on so many levels. I believe he has done some profound inner work and that level of spiritual achievement in challenging himself has paid off in a number of ways. This wisdom also comes through his incredible resume of consistently producing great art in a myriad of interesting projects. What I also love about Seth is his genuine nature – he cares deeply about others and engages in projects that will make the world a better place. I continue to learn so many valuable things from Seth, he is a great asset to any team!

I met Seth at a time when all my life work was beginning to make sense and the crystallization of my spirits vision was taking place. I was desperately looking for a multifaceted graphics designer, specifically one with a heart , whom can see and feel my vision…. An artist that I could roll with into my years to come in the fulfilment of the 7 7 7 vision and of operating a artistic merchandise business that supports global children’s initiatives.

Upon working with Seth the first time I immediately witnessed the sheer dedication of knowledge and application built upon years of effort in the field of graphics. Even being a film editor myself of ten years pus  I was simply astound in the way Seth with unmatched confidence navigated his desktop interface like a interstellar starship. At  several points during Seth’s execution of certain elements in our sessions I naturally had broken into outbursts of laughter when I seen just how clean, effectively and fast he was able generated results that I was more then happy with, to say at the very least. 

All in all I had a great time working and collaborating with Seth , he has helped and is willing to bring my life vision to come to pass through his amazing skills and expertise in bringing a brand together. I have never been this happy working with a graphics artist in my ten years in the entertainment / media industry. Im very pleased.

Better then I can ever expect.

Seth Rowanwood is a real find. Professional, intuitive, creative, skilled, he incorporates a mastery of surface presentation with attention to the inner meaning–the intention–of whatever he’s working on, whether beer, tech or music. He gets work done on time and looks out for the interests of his clients by paying attention to the details of the work, from beginning to end. He also has no problem taking a contrary point of view if he believes it will serve his clients best, but is completely adaptable once a firm decision has been made. I have seen his work with my wife’s work as a teacher and performer over a number of years, and have worked directly with Seth on the design for two recordings. With all of these projects he has provided high quality work that has represented each in a very organic and, let’s say” “true” way, capturing something of the uniqueness and inner spirit of the work. But I have to say that his most recent work, on the “Conversation of the Birds” CD from my Odessa/Havana project, reached a level I’m happy to call “inspired”, and the consistent reaction from fans and industry folks alike have encompassed real kudos and delight in his work.

Seth did an incredible job on my book cover. He took my template and infused it with his vast wealth of knowledge and creative talent and made it into something better than I ever could have imagined. Not only did he include symbols relevant to my book, but he breathed life into the piece, making it entirely unique and magnetic. It brought such added value to the book itself and I wouldn’t have anyone else but Seth do my covers moving forward. His artistic skill and marketing genius are incomparable.

Seth is a master facilitator of creating conditions for creativity to flow.

Working with Seth, his graphic design skills are boundless. He can certainly deliver on any design and maintain the look and feel for a brand. However, there is far more than design that one offers as a brand strategist.

Seth’s wisdom, market and technology insights inspire solutions to brand objectives and this is where he delivers the most value for expertise.

At Zymonetics, we value Seth as an asset to our brand and engage him in consulting on all aspects of our health technology portfolio.
