Working with Patino Designs on our non-profit logo was nothing short of amazing. As a local business in our community, choosing them felt right from the start, and they did not disappoint. The level of personal attention and dedication we received was remarkable. From the very beginning, the designer was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to engage in a truly collaborative process. We went back and forth numerous times, tweaking and refining the design, and not once did they hesitate to make the changes we requested. This flexible approach made us feel valued and ensured that the final product truly represented our vision. What stood out the most was how Patino Designs embraced the essence of Hawaiian culture in our project. They skillfully incorporated many concepts that are dear to us, making the logo not just a symbol but a story that resonates with our local heritage. The designer's willingness to work according to the lunar phases, aligning our sessions when the moon was right, added a deeply meaningful dimension to the creative process. I am immensely grateful for the dedication and heart Patino Designs put into our logo. It's rare to find a designer who not only delivers high-quality work but also deeply respects and integrates cultural values and community ties into their work. I highly recommend Patino Designs to anyone looking for a thoughtful, creative, and highly personalized design service. Their work is a testament to the talent and spirit of our local community. read more

I came across Mario of Patino Graphic Design through a search for a local business that could help me with redesigning an existing logo and in hopes to rebrand my product line and identity. I took a leap of faith and he and his team did not disappoint! Mario is gifted and skilled at developing colorways and graphics based on your personal style and background. Within a very short window of time, he and his team quickly came back with a gorgeous logo and nailed it on the first round! I instantly connected with my logo and not only are the graphics amazing but there's a personal story and reasoning provided for the graphics and colorways selected, all the way down to the font style. It was super easy to communicate my ideas and questions were answered promptly and courteously. Agreement on cost and other factors were presented upfront before starting the job and along the way which made the process that much more efficient. I feel as if my brand now has hope for the new year to come. I plan to work with Mario and his team for future projects going forward and if anyone is reading these reviews and looking for talent and professionalism, look no further. Sometimes all it takes a little push and a whole new outlook to get back on track with a company that is in line with your vision, encourages and supports you along the way. Patino Graphic Design is that company. Mahalo Mario & team! read more

Mario has been a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We were recommended to him from a trusted friend when we were looking for a graphic artist to design a wrap for our minibus. Mario has been prompt in his communication, responsive to our feedback, and has been excellent in providing guidance when we were directionless. The collaborative process was a breeze due to the online platform he uses to communicate with clients. You are able to see every step of the way the different renditions, options, mockups he creates and are able to input your thoughts to help steer the project along. Every step of the way we felt like we were working along side him and were apart of the project rather than being led along. In the end we were both thrilled with the finished product as well as the design process. For anyone who is looking for quality work, a comfortable experience, and a partner in their next design project that is affordable and fair...then look no further. Mario Patino is a good guy. Mahalo braddah! read more

Mario is the man! I was in need of a logo for my up and coming photography business. I wanted to make sure it was a design that had the essence of my personality. I reached out to Mario through a friend's recommendation. He was quick to respond to any questions that I had. He really got a feel for the direction I wanted the logo to look, also adding his professional input. I love how the final logo looks. It really captures my aesthetic. Along with the finished product, he also included a style guide to give me ideas on how to properly present my brand. All in all, Mario Patino is a pleasure to work with. There was such an ease working him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality designs. THANK YOU MARIO!!!! read more

With deep thought involved and the help of both our kūpuna, Mario and his team created a brand logo for my non-profit. We shared space and worked within the hours of the mahina employing the use of traditional Hawaiian elements of artistic symbolism. Using the natural rhythms of life, and observing the activities that flowed in between both of our space, he honed in and started to work. Very little revisions were needed and he suggested his professional opinion on all levels of branding. We look forward to holding space again with Patino Graphic Design in the future! Great service, awesome insight and the best part was keeping business within my community. You wont be disappointed! Mahalo nui! E ola ka oihana! read more
