If you are in the space business and need a proficient designer to help get your project off the ground your one-stop shop ought to be Wendy Mensink and her design studio, Void & Visual. She was instrumental in coming up with a new look to my cutaway illustration of the fictional spaceship Discovery, featured in the 1968 cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick.

Wendy proved to be a delight to work with, she understood right away what I was after and all I can say is that because of her communicative as well as creative skills, her professionalism and the quick-smart manner in which she works the new version of my image is looking as good as it does. I can fully recommend her for any design work you need to have done if any aspect of space is where your business interest lies.

Based on our experience with Void and Visual, we received professional work starting from the initial proposal until the project closed. Quality is important and something we look for, and we have touched with them the organized work, shape, and diversity. Also, we found flexibility and trust. With Void & Visual, responding on time is considered, as they are working carefully on comments and feedback.

Void & Visual added value to our analyzed data (gathered and researched by Orbofleet) by creating and building such a professional design and infographic. We had an enjoyable collaboration and definitely, we will be delighted to do business together, again!

In the small world of space communications it takes a true pro like Wendy to balance technical inputs and the story at hand. When we needed to tell the story of our SES-17 satellite, we needed to visualise impact on different markets while also displaying the innovation at hand – not just in space, but in the ground systems.

Wendy found a unique, on brand, and compelling way to combine all of these inputs into a strong visual that we still happily use to this day. It is one of the few pieces that please both our business and technical stakeholders thanks to Wendy’s careful balancing and execution.

As a former entrepreneur in our space business innovation center, Wendy sure knows how to make complex matters in our industry tangible. Her visual design is no exception. Void & Visual has helped us create a crisp and clear logo for one of our programs - and it certainly won't be the last cooperation. Communication is smooth and transparent, making working with Wendy always a pleasure. Needless to say, she's a highly valued member of our community.

‘Creating visual identities ​for ​space missions’ is the excellent eye-catcher on Wendy’s ‘Void & Visual’ website. It adequately describes the huge added value by Wendy which we as Board experienced in branding our ‘Stichting Space Professionals Foundation (SSPF)’ during its initial and operational stages. 

Initially, Wendy was key in designing the SSPF house-style and took overall responsibility in making it work for all types of communication, including our website (www.sspf.nl) and social media. 

In our SSPF operational stage now, Wendy takes care not only of the ongoing and up-to-date attractiveness of our communication tools, but also proposes and realises new initiatives, like social media campaigns.

SSPF is very pleased with its enjoyable working relation with Wendy since quite some time now, and looks forward towards a further fruitful cooperation. The SSPF warmly recommends Wendy as a professional who will serve your business or organisation with great passion and efficiency.
