Bio
Steven Taikina
I had the fortune of working with Colleen for over 7 years at Ideamachine Studio. As a Creative Director she was always direct and clear about what she needed from the team, making sure we had what we needed to get the job done. An expert at scriptwriting and adapting client copy to fit their project's needs. Whether it was a large client or a smaller one, Colleen approached each project with the same level of creativity and attention to detail to make sure the content captured the clients message and was engaging. As a coworker and colleague Colleen is a natural team leader. She is down-to-earth, extremely hardworking, and always willing to assist others. An amazing problem solver who is knowledgeable and willing to do the work to better understand an issue. You can always go to her with a question and you will get an honest, realistic answer. Would be happy to work with her again in the future!
