"Vanessa and the team at Forward Thinking Design through their creativity, ethics and professionalism have brought to life the hair salon of our dreams. Having faced many challenges along the journey, the Forward Thinking team remained focused and dedicated which allowed them to persevere and deliver a project which is truely a head turner. We look forward to working with Vanessa and the team again. " George Cherchian, Owner, Platinum Blow Dry Bar

"Our shop looked like a garage sale that had been going for 10 years. When we made the decision to improve our showroom we had to find someone who was going to create a unique space and effective displays for an unusual product. And, of course, on a tight budget. We never imagined that our space could look this good. Everyone who walks in the door is impressed with the look and feel of the new shop. Existing customers who knew the old place are finally telling us how terrible it used to be (why didn't they tell me that 10 years ago!).

Most importantly everyone is spending more in store - which I'm attributing directly to the design. Vanessa was easy to work with and understood quickly what I was trying to achieve, the end result is amazing. I'd recommend her to anyone". David Cordover, Owner, Chess World

"The Chess world project was a great concept & the finished product was fantastic. The level of detail & specification we received was of the highest level. Vanessa's hands on approach was very refreshing and made my part a lot easier. It was a pleasure to work with Forward Thinking Design and the staff were so warm and friendly". Doug Mackintosh, Project Manager, Classic Resources
