Keith Taperell

Jade is a real talent in the business. He is technically very good, has a great creative eye and understands and interprets the briefs given to him. Most importantly Jade is a real team player who interacts very well across the organisation; whether that is in presentations, meetings or working one on one with members of the team. I fully endorse Jade and strongly recommend him as an asset to any organisation.

Niall Sloan

Jade is a diligent, hard working designer. We worked together on a project at Hunter where his technical knowledge was a real asset. He is easy to get on with and good with deadlines.
