It shouldn’t be rare, but it is. When you find a designer who knows what he’s doing, never misses a deadline, and is reasonably priced, you can’t believe your luck. We’ve worked together on projects for my business, and I’ve brought Chris in to work with my clients, too. Satisfaction guaranteed.

A rare combination of ’creative’ and ’suit’, Chris knows how to create art
while getting the job done on time and on budget, no matter what the
industry or assignment might be. His experience, talent, and attention to
detail is of enormous benefit to both our public relations clients and our
staff. He really understands how design upholds and enhances a
corporate brand.
Diana Conconi
Former Senior Vice President, Partner & Deputy General Manager, Fleishman-Hillard Canada Inc.
We have a diverse audience, a complex set of messages, and a need to
publish materials in both official languages. Chris has always ensured
that the work he produces for us – in whatever medium – is of the
highest quality and communicates effectively. It’s a great pleasure to
work with him (and the other professionals he brings to the table), and
to know that we can rely on his high standards in both creativity and
professionalism in the future.

Standing out in a crowd has been a regular occurrence since working
with Chris Oliver of Decisive Moment. My brand identity, business card
and website get rave reviews on a weekly basis, and intrigue everyone
whom I want to intrigue! Chris has a unique ability to capture the
essence of a person, a company and the product or service they sell,
and then create a brand that stands out from the rest. As a creative
guide, I couldn't have asked for anything more. With Chris' insight and
encouragement, I was able to establish a powerful presence in my
industry. First class design, first class service.
Jennifer East
President, ONIDA Coaching + Consulting Inc.
After 25 years in the corporate communications business, I’ve worked
with a lot of graphic designers. When it came time to develop a new
look for my established practice, I turned to Chris Oliver of Decisive
Moment. Working with Chris is always a pleasure, and the end result is
a conversation stopper. Truly. Each time I hand someone my card, they
lose their train of thought and stare at it. “Nice card.” Worth its weight
in gold.
Julia Moulden
Founder, The Bee’s Knees Communications Inc.
When you say one-on-one relationship, you really mean it. The process
was intelligent and thorough from start to finish. You helped me figure out
what I needed, provided a range of design options, brought in a writer,
and delivered a final product that has generated results.
Anne Marie Murphy
President, Eastern Script Inc.
I would highly recommend Chris Oliver of Decisive Moment to
professional service firms like ours. His advice on how to develop our
public image has been critical – from the earliest stages (such as logo
design) through to our full communications requirements as the firm
grew. Always on time and on budget, he has been highly responsive
as well as proactive.

Partner, Perry+Currier Inc. - Patent and Trademark Agents
Chris Oliver is a highly professional designer who combines new
creativity with old-fashioned obsessiveness for details to produce
first-rate work.
Bob Ramsay
President, Ramsay Inc.
I had the occasion to work with Chris Oliver on two separate projects in
the mid 90's. One project involved an Ontario Government assignment
and the other was with a Not-for-Profit client. For both assignments,
Chris showed creativity, thoughtfulness and sensitivity for the subject
area and the client groups served.
Judi Richter-Jacobs
President, JRJ Consultants
Nothing fazes Chris. We’ve worked together on big things (a bilingual
directory) and small (a brochure), and he ensures that things go like
clockwork. He’s always on time, on budget, and has a great sense of
design. Is it any wonder that I always look forward to working with him
and recommend him to everyone?
