Words from collaborators

Calumma's services and approach played a crucial role in the success of Humanize, especially for the Humanize product itself and the online Humanize Classroom. Emil's creativity, strategic thinking, and commitment to our cause were instrumental in developing innovative solutions that addressed the unique needs of our community.

What I appreciated most about working with Emil and his team was their genuine passion for making a positive difference. Emil's professionalism, collaborative spirit, and ability to inspire others were truly remarkable and made the entire process enjoyable and rewarding. Truly, they went above and beyond for Humanize

Really thrilled to be working with Calumma Design. It adds such a brilliant edge to our work and brings our intentions and visions visibly to life so that it is crystal clear to everyone what we are trying to achieve and what we stand for.

It makes our work look just as groundbreaking, irresistible and inspiring on the outside as we ambitiously strive for it to be on the inside. The collaboration is always smooth and a true pleasure. We are all super excited when Calumma has put their hands on one of our projects - it truly makes it fly! We are big fans!

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Emil and Calumma for their exceptional contributions to the Daydream Believers program. Emil’s creativity, dedication, and innovative thinking have been instrumental in shaping the success of our initiative.

From the outset, Emil demonstrated an unparalleled capacity for creative problem-solving and conceptual thinking. His ability to see beyond the conventional boundaries of educational programming has led to the development of many of our truly inspiring and impactful learning experiences.

Calumma worked with Trust engagement staff across a number of projects which often included working with our partners, their own branding guidance and nuanced messaging. I’ve always found Calumma to be incredibly helpful and focused on method – we knew what we needed to provide and when, and what the process was for feedback and amendments.

Calumma were particularly good at judging feedback and amendments from a creative perspective - either responding directly to requests and suggestions or interpreting feedback and improving the design. This helped generate the best outcomes.

We are very happy with the work and interpretation they provided us and We are excited that they’ve helped inspire more positive action for climate and wild places.

Calumma was absolutely instrumental in birthing the strong identity and branding we now have for YESfest. They helped us even before we knew what our mission was and what our long-term strategy would be.

Working closely with the Calumma team and exploring our visual identity allowed us to clarify our organisation’s voice and purpose. I could not recommend Calumma and Emil more highly!
