Bio
Andrew Seiden
I had the pleasure of working closely with Courtney for over 3 years at Standard Process. Over that time I grew to truly respect her creative talent, broad skill set and the great positive energy she brought to our team each and every day. At the time, one of my duties was photographic lead. In that capacity I oversaw the equipment and conducting training for any new team members who would be assisting in product, landscape or portrait photos. Courtney showed a lot of enthusiasm and learned the equipment and procedures we incorporated effortlessly. She then applied that knowledge and her creativity to greatly expand our company's photographic image library. Beyond that she was a key contributor in the development of company iconography, catalogs, brochures, t-shirts, merchandise branding, calendars and more. I was always impressed by the creative solutions she would devise for any challenge, her excellent eye for detail, and her firm handle on the Adobe Creative Suite and other software we used. I would recommend Courtney for any design position from not only seeing consistent amazing results, but also her great positive attitude and the many other contributions she brought to our team.

I worked with Courtney for 5 years while at Emerson and was the leader of the marketing team she was a member of 1.5 years. Courtney has an amazing attitude along with incredible motivation. I've always found these 2 qualities at the core of any excellent team member. On top of that Courtney is a dedicated and driven designer. She is incredibly talented, reliable, and performs professional and calm under pressure and tight deadlines. Any business that has her as a team member will sure add to their winning team.
