TESTIMONIALS

“I had the pleasure of working with Brian for 3 years. As our sole graphic design employee, Brian was responsible for all requests - ranging from client design work to equipment design mock-ups to a full suite of digital graphic assets for the company. Brian provided an attention to detail and artistic skill that helped us ensure we had a thoughtful design process throughout the organization, ensuring feedback was collected from all stakeholders that culminated in top quality graphics. I would recommend Brian’s skills for anyone looking for a graphic design skillset in their organization!”

Alida Burke
CFO, Growcer

“Brian is a talented designer that is friendly, collaborative, and detail oriented. When he has to balance multiple pieces of feedback, Brian always retains the integrity of the work and follows design best practices. He’s got a natural handle on InDesign, Illustrator, and branding, and it shows in his work. I enjoyed working with Brian and some of the best designs have come from giving Brian the freedom to take the brand where he wants it to go. When empowered to make the call on design decisions, projects excel!”

Stephanie Gordon
Content Team Lead, Growcer

“I worked with Brian for the better part of three years. As part of our Sales and Marketing team, Brian's responsibility was to support us with graphic design to better communicate Growcer's values using his creativity to help both future and existing customers. Whether it was creating new logos and brands for existing customers, or "beautifying" sales and marketing documents, Brian's creative thinking and talent was demonstrated through his quality of work, and undoubtedly levelled-up the content that Growcer was making. He was able to manage the many different ideas and opinions from the sales, marketing, and CS teams and generate clear, concise, and visually striking designs. It was a pleasure working with Brian and I can't recommend him enough!”

Nick Halverson
Business Development Manager, Growcer

“I thoroughly enjoyed working and collaborating with Brian. Every time we worked on a project together, Brian was great at quickly adapting and making changes based on my, or the team's, requests and the final product would always come out as something the whole team was proud of. He definitely left his mark on the Growcer as his designs will be influential on the company for a very long time and will act as a solid stepping stone for the future.”

Molly Neave
Research Associate, Growcer

“Brian's work speaks for itself. But if I had to describe it in one word that word would be AWESOME! Brian understands that the design of a logo must incorporate the brand story to truly stand out and perform. Brian is an amazing presenter of design concepts. I highly recommend Brian for out of the box creative design.”

Paul Readwin
CEO & Founder, Business Instincts Group

“Brian's skills were a huge asset to us at BIG. His eye and design sense helped us build some of the coolest visual brands that we've ever developed. He is a great team player, and I really enjoyed working with him.”

Judy Garvey
Project Coordinator, Business Instincts Group

“Brian is a creative thinker and we work with him because he provides us with ideas we would otherwise not come up with ourselves. He is a very talented illustrator and we have come to depend on his illustration skills on many projects. I'd highly recommend him for any creative design you may need.”

Christian Lavergne
Owner, K6 Media

“Brian was an exceptional self-manager who was always timely with his assigned work. When working with designers, many can have negative reactions if a client does not feel the work delivered meets their original vision. Brian was always very patient and thorough with any revisions we required - a trait I have not seen very often. On a monthly basis Brian always delivered a large amount of high-caliber content for T-Shirts.com. We would certainly work with Brian again in the future.”
