Bio
Mary Jane (MJ) Whiting
Not often do you find an art director who trusts in his team and cares about the quality of work as much as Joe. As an art director, Joe was always pushing me to do my best work and moreover, he gave me a chance and opportunity to do great work, learn and grow as an artist where others may not have seen potential. This is what makes Joe a great leader and art director - he is calm and laidback and he doesn't sweat the small stuff - he knows how to communicate with those under him in a way that encourages the art team to do their best work and unleash their full artistic potential. Joe knows a lot about different areas of the art and technical pipeline and served as a great mentor for me during our time at Nexon. Joe has always strived for excellence in our work and even when times got tough, Joe never lost confidence that our team would do their best and find success.

Joe is a hard working and passionate professional. He has great ability in both the creative and technical aspects of video game art. He also has a good personality and is easy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.
