Thought Foundrie

Sumaiyya is incredibly thoughtful (eh hem, hence the name), imaginative, and well-​schooled when it comes to the history and impact of design. I worked with her on a poster for a film and was interested in a look that was *not* those floating heads that you always see. I was inspired with her first round of mockups, which took cues from book covers of the 50’s and 60’s, and far surpassed my expectations right from the start. The visual design was striking and memorable, but she also worked closely with us to amend things to work well for bigger and smaller screens, and print as well as web. I am not the easiest customer in many ways, and Sumaiyya was very patient as I tried to articulate the changes I wanted. She’s one part artist, one part marketer, and has a tank full of ideas swimming around in her head that she is willing to experiment with. I am so thankful to have been in such good hands. Looking at the work she did still makes me happy. Highly recommended.
