Who is Skylark Design?

Hello, my name is Markus Baumann. For the last 22 years I’ve been operating my own graphic design business from my home office in the top of the South Island, New Zealand.

Why choose Skylark Design?

Client satisfaction

I treat my clients the way I like to be treated as a customer; firstly with respect. I aim to listen to you to establish what your requirements are, and how best to meet them with a product that’s best for you. I always do my best, as client satisfaction is very important to me.

Deal with one person

As a sole trader I wear the hats of the CEO, manager, supervisor, coordinator, planner, designer, bookkeeper, receptionist … Instead of dealing with a hierarchy of people you simply deal with one person to get your job done.

Precision

Friends and colleagues tell me I have an eye for detail. While this doesn’t mean I don’t ever make any mistakes, I do aim for 100% accuracy.

Clear communication

Honest, open and clear communication makes any working relationship operate smoothly. For example, if, for any reason, I am unable to do your job I will tell you first up. Likewise, should any problems occur along the way, I will inform you.

Fair pricing

I have years of professional experience in commercial publishing and photo editing, which makes my work efficient and cost-effective.

Design sans frontière

Thanks to the Internet, the product of my work can travel anywhere. Whether you are in New Zealand, Alaska or Switzerland, digital files know no boundaries.

What do you get from me?

Digital files

In the majority of cases—whether it’s a brochure, logo, photo, sign, etc—you get digital files from me. Usually these are in PDF or JPEG format.

Files that are too large for email I make available through a secure cloud service. I send you a link that gives you private access to these files. For jobs that require printing, you may wish to forward that link to your printing service who can download and print the files for you.

Timely delivery

My goal is to complete your job within an agreed and realistic time-frame. Often jobs are urgent, in which case I will do my best to meet the deadline. If my workload cannot accommodate a job I will decline and tell you at the time of your estimate request.

Money-back guarantee

Should a job not come to any fruition and/or should you be dissatisfied with my work, I will not charge you for it. That’s a promise!
