“This all looks SO beautiful, love Hill and Sky’s work. So cool that they have made our own font! And so exciting to have a lovely colour palette to work with. Really like the icons and the way they’ve manipulated the various assets. And the photo treatments page is so useful! Amazing work, Hill and sky!!”

Elaine Ho

“We absolutely love the branding! It’s stunning and we can’t wait to start working with it. I love Minerva, love the colours, am chuffed with my own font (I feel famous!), love the interpretation of the artwork, and imagery treatments. Your guidance on how to use it all is super clear. You have been so thoughtful throughout the process and I have really appreciated your strategic design thinking and the way you’ve played back what we are trying to convey.”

Jacky Parsons

“I would highly recommend hiring or working with Hill and Sky as their attention to detail and meticulous nature make them an excellent asset on any project. From conception to production they are always present and fully committed at every step. With incredibly creative and innovative minds they will bring a fresh and exciting look to any work.”

Nina Saacks

Magazine Editor

“I’ve known Aline at Hill and Sky for over 17 years. 10 of which I would hire Aline’s design services regularly while working for Wines of South Africa as Market Manager for Europe. The projects spanned overall marketing collateral including advertising, editorial, presentations, international wine tasting events, POS and décor. All of which requires high levels of creative problem solving, design and technical skills, tight budgets and deadlines. Hill and Sky were quick to respond and resolve and really understood what I was looking for visually.”
