JMayer Design began as an international collaboration via the internet between Joshua Mayer and a friend, Elisabeth Sumarno. Hired to create a banner for for Solid Trade Inc. and a logo for their child company Ephod Services, Mayer designed a small banner and a base layout for Solid Trade, as well as a logo for Sumarno's Ephod Services.  Keeping communication open, brainstorming ideas back and forth, Elisabeth Sumarno and Solid Trade became Mayer's first design partner. Joshua credits Sumarno for assisting in the development of the idea of JMayer Design, as well as collaboration of finalizing the logo. "Without Beth," he says, "I would not have JMayer Design. I truly believe God used her for the creation of my company."

 

   Elisabeth Sumarno, partnered with her friend Nuning Ayu, collaborated with Joshua and created the beginning design for Solid Trade Inc, and preliminary logos for JMayer Design.
