JOHN

Founder and Senior Designer

John started his career with a leading-edge Toronto design firm gathering a wealth of experience before starting Eyetoeye Design in 1993. It has been a love affair of the creative process from the beginning. John gives great care and personalized attention to every project he is involved with. The ability to offer a full range of creative services that marry together seamlessly under one roof is something that really energizes him. He started working with his son Jonah creating cutting edge video in 2016 and then three years later was able to bring on his other son Malachi to enhance media offerings including social media design, web design, and motion graphics. Working with his two sons is something he never saw coming but has been an exciting venture now offering a full range of services to strengthen any brand.

A few client testimonies

We are so thankful for each of our valued customers. It has been a privilege working with each and every one of them. Below are a few testimonies they have shared with us.

Eyetoeye Design completed an extensive revitalization of an aged website for our office. The result was truly a masterpiece! In our society of underachieving customer service and personal touch, John shone brightly in all aspects of our interactions with him. He is among the elite in integrity and dedication to his craft and clients. We would not hesitate to recommend both his photography and Whitby web design talents to any business wanting a professional and relevant image in the marketplace that is sure to grab and hold their customer’s attention. Thanks for a job masterfully done.”
—Dr. Stephen Hambly, Ancaster Dental Care

I am blown away...I cried, literally—you did an amazing job! I am so excited about my new website. Thank you so much and can’t wait for my customers to see this.”
—Marsha Raynard, Jewel Pet Sitting

John, I love working with you. You are always so efficient and the quality of your work never changes—it is always consistently great! Thanks for being such a big part of our success.” 

Bonnie Pioveson, NextLEVEL Leadership

John, thank you so much for the excellent job you did in designing our new brochure. It is more than I ever expected! It is fresh, vibrant and sums up my heart and vision for Women Alive. I will call you again for future work.
—Margaret Gibb, Women Alive

I have been working with Eyetoeye for almost a year now. They have done my logo, business cards, photos, and now my website. I was not able to give much direction as I am not design savvy, nor do I have the time to spend on marketing and promotional material. They took charge and invested time into learning all of the elements of my business. My expectations were exceeded, and I am very satisfied with all of the products they produced. But, the proof is in the pudding. So have a look for yourself!
—Steve Kimmerer, Carriage Trade Cleaners

“Working with John Cowie has been a great fit for me. From the very start, over 6 years ago, it has been a true partnership. John never took off on his own direction but rather relied heavily on my input when establishing direction. The results have been highly effective marketing every time. There’s no two ways about it—it’s been a team effort all the way resulting in one very satisfied and successful customer.” 
—Bruce Klassen, Royal LePage Sales Agent

Just got back from our Annual General Meeting with the new board. At one point in the meeting one of the board members wanted to make note of the high quality of the printed material. The other members all joined in and wanted to thank me for the calibre of materials produced saying it is not only professional but speaks very well for the foundation and to the high net worth donors that we will be approaching. So John, I pass on accolades to you. Well done. If you are like me, while it is a joy to do something you love—and for the Lord—it sure is nice to hear the high praise and know we exceeded expectations.”

—Jan Kupecz, Advisors with Purpose

John has been our supplier for many years and consistently exceeds our expectations. As an independent designer, he is able to provide superior customer service and insight into the ethos and needs of his customers. This is reflected in the quality and depth of his work. One of the qualities we at Tyndale most appreciate is the exceptional turnaround time. The quality of his work remains high even if he is given a very short time frame to complete the project. This has enabled us to meet many tight deadlines and increase our productivity.”
