Client recommendations from my LinkedIn page

Client Recommendation 1

“Mike has been providing our manufacturing company with updates and redesigns to our IOM sheets, sales flyers and continually makes updates to our website content. He adds new pages or pictures when necessary. Mike was instrumental in creating our product brochure in 2018. He is a pleasure to work with and listens well. Mike is very responsive. I’ve never had to “wait” to get anything done. Mike is someone I trust with our website and someone we can rely on when we need quick changes to a sales flyer or the need for a new design or layout for our sales flyers. I would highly recommend Mike’s services.”

Client Recommendation 2

“I’ve worked with Mike for almost 20 years and have always been happy with his work. He takes the time to understand the goals of each project and always comes up with fresh ideas. In a business where you are frequently on a tight deadline, Mike always comes through (and we’ve worked on over 1000 projects together—big and small). He’s extremely easy to work worth, open to bouncing ideas around and is very budget conscientious. While he is a freelancer, our working relationship has always felt more like a partnership—he is committed to doing the best job possible. Whenever I need a freelance art director, Mike is the first one I call.”

Client Recommendation 3

“Having worked with Mike on a wide-range of clients in financial services, health care, and both B2B and B2C, I found his creative insights and execution to be superb. He was always quick with an idea when deadlines were tight and budgets a challenge. He was extremely versatile working on ads, marketing collateral, direct marketing, trade show graphics, packaging, web applications and much, much more. I value Mike’s knowledge, experience and talent and highly recommend him.”

Client Recommendation 4

“Mike designed about half of all the custom white papers, eBooks, and other print assets for TechTarget Custom Media while I was managing the creative team. His designs were clean, attractive, and appropriate for the particular audience each asset was targeting. We could count on him to follow each client’s branding requirements with minimal direction from our internal team, and he was extremely flexible when clients requested edits or design changes. He frequently delivered proofs early, and never missed deadlines. Mike is highly professional and a real pleasure to work with!”

Client Recommendation 5

“I enjoyed working with Mike for over seven years. He had a great eye and hand for graphic design, creating communications materials that spoke to our target audiences. He was responsive to our needs—and always delivered on schedule and within budget. I would welcome an opportunity to work with Mike again!”
