Ashli Thomas
Cait is an individual with a carefully crafted ability to resolve and assist colleagues with any issues that may arise. I've worked with her on several projects and she has proven time and again that she is a dedicated and hard-working individual. She is a team player and is always willing to face challenges head-on. Cait is very good at expressing her ideas through her amazing ability to sketch. She's a natural-born Storyteller and has outstanding manufacturing knowledge in both hands on and conceptual design. She possesses leadership qualities and has an outstanding personality. It has been a privilege to work alongside her and watch her develop into an amazing designer.

I've worked several projects with Cait and she has proven consistently that she is a hard worker, dedicated to the projects that she is given. Her projects are always completed fully and on time. Cait is very good at expressing her ideas through sketches and presentations. She has a wide variety of prototyping skills, allowing her to confidently work on an array of hard and soft goods. We've worked projects that required woodworking, plastic construction, metal construction, as well as sewing. Her hands on experience and construction knowledge of each are first class. She is equally adapt with Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Sketchbook Pro, Solidworks, Rhino 3D, and Keyshot. This combined gives her a graphic design edge that is valuable to presentations and product packaging. She has a great sense of team and is always willing to face the challenges a project brings as well as learn skills accordingly. Cait is a well rounded designer, who would be an asset and pleasure to add to any project.
