Bio
Aminata Dia
Charlie and I worked together on the product and engineering teams for Vanity Fair and prior to that, at Condé Nast Entertainment. He is one of the most talented engineering managers I've had the pleasure of working with. His positive attitude, and ability to run an efficient dev team that takes pride in its work, make him a wonderful person to collaborate with—and a huge asset to any company.
Eileen TOGASHI
Charles is a gem to work with! TOGASHI's client requested an electronic press kit, which he did not have. He wanted something to complement his website and Charles knew exactly what to do and ran with it. His eye was on target and he impressed and surprised us with his fresh take and innovative enhancements. Charles worked quickly and with exacting precision and attention to detail, which is what TOGASHI's photography is about. He was readily available on the telephone for the necessary tweaking and thoughtful ponderings as the project took form. Working with Charles was a delight from start to finish and the press kit amazed our client! I miss our daily chats and the fun we had working together and I highly recommend Charles design and technical skills and his innate creative sense for any project. Eileen Togashi
