I had a vision of the redesign of a public space gazebo. I met with Bob, explained what I wanted, and he created an exact visual representation of my concept so that I could present it to my team. Bob Paltrow is the kind of designer who can take a picture of what is inside your head, and give it life. Bob was a pleasure to work with. (He's not a bad musician either!)

My sister recently passed away and I worked with Bob to have him make a prayer/memorial card for her. I gave him some ideas and he ran with it knowing exactly the vision I was looking for. The cards came out so beautiful, my family and I loved them. He was also great to work with, very caring and kind. I highly recommend him and his work.

Bob Paltrow proved to be an invaluable asset in helping our company design & create logos, printed material, digital material & more. Practical & super efficient! No drawn out lengthy meetings with pricey hourly charges like most marketing firms/consultants. Creative thinker who gets the job done! Would prefer to keep BPD a secret but happy to have discovered Bob Paltrow Designs & know many others would also be grateful to have his firm lend a hand with their business needs as well. Truly.a gifted artist.
