Bethany Larsen
Spencer is fun to work with! He was the project manager to myself (a UX designer), graphic designers, video and animation designers, a social media specialist, and an events specialist. He worked with the team managing deadlines, resolving communication and other discrepancies, strategizing with team, planning videos, and more. Spencer has the most contagious laugh. He is a very motivated employee not only at work but with his personal projects. He is always looking to improve and learn more.
