Bio
Patrick Jansen
Celeste only worked for a brief period for the FSM team because she was helping us to create a design for a complex customer request in an impossible timeframe. But in the limited amount of time we collaborated I was really impressed by her work, her attitude, her creativity and her drive. Celeste, it was a great pleasure collaborating with you. I only wished we could have been collaborating in more occasions. Your effort definitely contributed a lot in convincing the applicable customer to start working with CLEVR. Thanks for your openness and your creativity! I learned a great deal from you. Good luck with any future ventures! All the best and lets stay in touch! Best regards
