Kitmwa Sitkukka (CEO Azurfa Organics )- we needed a beautiful design for our skin care line..We had contracted others to do it previously and we weren’t satisfied with the outcome. Pholar Studios helped by creating a very simple yet beautiful design for our products. Lots of people keep asking me about the company that did it. We will always use your services whenever we need to.
Now that kind of feedback reinstated my focus on building the best brands one step at a time.




Read what the Convener of Live year Dreams Africa had to say too:

Pholar Studios is definitely a top-notch graphics design firm. Now, this isn't a tad bit of flattery, but reality. One borne out of my experience with the quality of service rendered to me. Fola helped me design my company logo and he was highly professional about it. From conceptualization to final designs, every process was hitch-free. He asked the appropriate questions to elicit the desired expression for my thoughts about the company. By the time he was done, it was picture-perfect. He got the right imagery for my thoughts and also converted it into beautifully printed complimentary cards.
Clearly, Pholar Studios isn't just a design firm but a superior customer delight firm. They not only got my job done, they did it so professionally that they got me grinning from ear to ear.
