Francois was very collaborative throughout the design process, and was extremely empathetic to the unique problems we were trying to solve, and the directional vibe of what we wanted to design and build.

While Francois kept an open mind to what the initial design brief was, he brought his own experience and design language to iterate on the product and help us refine the proposition beyond what we had initially brief.

Francois was a fantastic partner throughout the project from inception through to sourcing, and was incredibly helpful with collaborating through the logistics of sourcing suppliers, engaging and collaborating with suppliers on a physical prototyping round, and keeping genuine production constraints in mind.

François and his team understood that this project was about more than refreshing a logo or redesigning a website.

It was about expressing how far Exclusive Venue had come and where we wanted to go next. He listened carefully, challenged our thinking when needed and brought clarity to every stage of the process.

We now have a brand and digital platform that truly reflect the quality of the venues and service we provide.

François was the Design Thinking instructor for our YouthLeadership.sg holiday camp, and he did a fantastic job.

The teens learned a lot from his experience and the Design Thinking framework, while also having fun with the hands-on workshop.

What really stood out was his dedication. He was very well prepared. Thanks to François, the teens had a fun, engaging and memorable learning experience.

After several years of working together, what we value most about Francois Hurtaud Design is the strong communication and the team’s attentive approach to our needs.

Every project involves many questions, revisions, and new challenges, and we really appreciate that the team takes the time to understand what we need, find the right solutions, and ultimately deliver a great result.

Working with François on the Aristo identity was one of the more important decisions we made in the move from Raja Fashions to a proper atelier.

He did not treat heritage as decoration. He treated it as the material, and shaped a brand around craftsmanship, education, and a more exclusive way of working.

He is rigorous, collaborative, and unusually good at turning a family business into a contemporary brand without losing the reason it exists.

Francois is one of the most creative and humble designer I ever met.

Hardworking, detailed and meticulous, he is unlike any designer that will try to listen your opinions. if he disagrees, he would then try to convince otherwise in a harmonious manner, slowly explaining his thoughts process and reasons behind.

His voracious appetite to learn and acquire knowledge is part of his DNA, from politics, science, design to psychology.

François had an ability to translate requirements and possibilities directly into highly feasible concepts that take into account the visions of his clients as much as his own ideals, which are centering around a pronounced tendency toward the sustainable.

[François]' ability to harmonise usability, problem-solving and functional requirements when it comes to design is something to behold. The work really does speak for itself.

- John M. CTO @ Nixplay

François is a very talented and detail oriented designer.
