“I have worked with Johnny Lonka in numerous projects for various customers during the past 15 years. His designs have received considerable praise and I cannot remember a single event when a customer would have been less than delighted with his work. His work has been first-rate even in the tightest deadlines and his range is unmatched: Lonka always seems to know how to find just the right designs and image to meet and exceed customer expectations. I am happy to recommend him and I look forward to working with him in many projects in years to come.”
