German term

Kunde Mensch

German to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations Part of the designer's website
All I can think of is "the customer as a human being" but that is too long and too ho-hum. Can anyone think of a better English expression for "Kunde Mensch" in this context:

XXXXX ist ein Designbüro, das 2003 von der Designer
Max Moritz gegründet wurde und im Focus ganzheitliche Unternehmensauftritte und Corporate Designs gestaltet.

Mit strategischem Know-How und Kreativität erarbeiten wir individuelle Kommunikationskonzepte, die sich auf dem Markt durchsetzen.

Dabei verlieren wir Kunde Mensch nicht aus den Augen.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I liked all of your answers but used none of them. Not even close, so I'll just have to give the points to Kim for being the first answer on the Kudoz page. I had to change the surrounding text a lot for other reasons and wound up using "... while respecting customers as unique human beings." Thanks to all of you."

agree Armorel Young : that's good, although I'd just say "we never lose the human touch" - losing sight of the touch is verging on being an oddly mixed metaphor
