"I have known Anne Steel both on a professional basis and personally for over 18 years.
In a professional capacity she was engaged to design brochures etc both at Adnams Brewery and The Cask Marque Trust.
She is both honest and trustworthy and her work was of excellent quality and delivered within the agreed timescale and costs. I have no hesitation on recommending her...."

Paul Nunny, Director, The Cask Marque Trust

Anne Steel of Maui Waui Design has done online and print design for the music of Something Happened. She has an instinct for the right visual idea and real wit and flair. She is also efficient and fun to work with. We cannot recommend Maui Waui highly enough.

Terence Blacker, Something Happened

Anne at Maui Waui has designed our newly launched consultancy's logo, business stationery and website. One of her key strength's in my view is that she listens very carefully to the initial brief. She then came up with a great design very quickly. She works very collaboratively and listens to our thoughts and views throughout which helps makes the process quick and efficient. The final result is that we have a logo and design that should last for years to come!

Liz Churchill, Waypoint Consultancy

Anne has redesigned our website and packaging giving both a modern, professional style and continues to provide us with new literature on time and within budget. We find her to be friendly, efficient and really good to work with; offering bright and fresh ideas that suit our business perfectly.

Ian Whitehead, Lane Farm Country Foods

"Having met Anne by chance at a meeting I quickly realised that she maybe the right person to rebrand our company and design our first website. It was immediately apparent that Anne’s creativity (and patience, we later discovered) were what we, as a company, needed. She took on board our ideas and developed a logo and website that have been positively received by both existing and new clients.
We are frequently asked who designed our stationery and website and, with some reflected glory, I give them Anne’s name.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Anne and I am looking forward to our next project together."

Gary Pearce, Director, Owen Bond Partnership

"We regularly use Anne when we need some fresh thinking on a project – she is excellent at coming at things from an angle that others don’t think of. Her graphics are very strong too. Some of the best work she has produced for us has been on rebranding commissions – which are often the most challenging projects"

Nick Rawlings, MD, Stennik

"I am very pleased with our new logo and the design of the website, Anne's innovative ideas have completely overhauled our image. The work was completed within timescale and on budget. I found Anne a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future. I initally viewed this project as a one off but I can already see the benefits to my business and I intend to use Anne's skills on an ongoing basis for help with marketing and promoting my business."

Lisa Carter, Director, Star Curtains Ltd

We are delighted with our web site. How do you make a dog trailer website interesting and modern? Anne certainly did!
We had never advertised before and Anne held our hand and guide us to a successful campaign.
Anne is professional, efficient and reasonable priced.

Angela King, Managing Director, Bqzeen and Bespoke Dog Trailers

"We want four things from a designer: creativity and a quality finished product plus the ability to deliver on time and on budget. Anne at Maui Waui does all this."

Charles Christian, Legal Technology Insider and Ink-Sweat-and-Tears.com

"No matter how bonkers my brief is Anne understands it, meets it and delivers it
Very rare to find someone so creative yet so beautiful
From concepts to print Maui delivers the Wowee factor
Working with Anne is a rare treat in a world of mediocrity -
A design company with good original ideas - some of them are stunning"

Sam Goodbourne, Wickedly Good Food

"Anne's intelligently constructed graphics and beautiful images have always captured the essence of what I want to say to prospective clients. She never fails to make an impact. For me, she's the best there is."

Mike Lewis, London & Suffolk

"I have known Anne Steel for many years, initially when she was working alongside the Director of Trading at Adnams, the Southwold based brewery, her work considered to be well above expectations. In later years I have myself requested Anne to carry out creative exercises for my prestigious clients, all of whom have been very satisfied with the work she has produced. A dedicated professional with her 'eye on the ball' at all times. Lively, forward thinking & a good listener."

Dudley Clarke, PR Consultant, Suffolk

"Anne put together our most successful catalogue to date! It was a lot of work but not only was she amazingly creative and full of good ideas we hadn’t thought of, she was also a delight to work with - always upbeat, positive and beautifully organised (we weren’t always!)."

Gabrielle Harwood, Advertising and Media, Magus International (Saudi Arabia and Arab Emirates) and Maui Waui fan.

"To have such a helpful and understanding designer here on our doorstep is fantastic - Anne not only brings her skill and experience to everything she does but always engages in our creative process with energy and creativity. No matter how short our deadlines we can always rely on Anne and that’s worth its weight in chocolate!"

Louise Collins - Business Development Coordinator, The Booja-Booja Co. Ltd

"I first worked with Anne when I opened my yarn shop in Ipswich. After only a brief meeting at the shop, I was impressed by the range of ideas and designs that Anne put forward for my logo. She continues to make creative input and is currently redesigning my website"

Susan Palmer - Purl and Co. The Designer Yarn Store

"Anne was highly professional, prompt, patient, beautifully creative and has been really helpful with further information I have needed regarding posters, banners and labels etc. Her work is stylish and versatile"

Nicola Hammell, Besley and Hammell Ethical Traders

"Anne Steel has a fun, creative and colourful personality, which is reflected in her work at Maui Waui Design. This together with her great eye for detail and the professional way she presents her ideas to clients provides a design service second to none.
How lucky we are to have her on our doorstep!"

Burns -Thomson Services Ltd, Garden maintenance & landscaping services

"I am delighted to support your presentation and am happy to tell anyone who asks how well you have designed and produced my new stationery with continued follow up. Your creativity is excellent and it has always been pleasure to meet with you to discuss various projects. I look forward to a continued creative relationship for my businesses."

We have been using Anne and Maui Waui for over 10 years now and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. She designs some of our websites, point of sale materials, company brand image and other stuff too as required. We normally dump a very vague brief on her and it miraculously turns into something which normally needs very little tinkering before we go with it. She understands very well our varying requirements and turns them into stylish usable pieces of work. And all at a very reasonable price too. And no, she is not paying me to write this review!!
