Selected answer:principal or client

Explanation:
Yes, "Principal" is correct. I would probably use "Client", but there is nothing wrong with "Principal", either, if used as the party employing the contractor (the Design Company" to carry out a job or provide a service.

Your note:
I would suggest \"completed work\" or \"completed assignments\" instead of \"working achievements\", if this is what you mean.
