I had the pleasure of working closely with Elaine on several projects at Tank over the years. She's great with clients, a strong presenter, excellent designer, full of great ideas and easy to work with. Elaine is a thoughtful, intelligent team player who puts a ton of energy into every project. Highly recommended.
