Bio
Don C. Jones
Joe was a pleasure to work with at Cotton Incorporated. His unique skills allowed us to have eye-catching 7' conference displays, informative workshop banners, and creatively designed technical posters. I and others regularly revisit Joe's completed work to glean ideas to help inspire us in our next projects. He creatively blended photographs and verbiage to weave an entertaining story about highly technical topics, and he did so on time, under budget, and with a smile. I highly recommend Joe.

During Joe's almost 13 year tenure at Cotton Incorporated, he and I worked on a number of projects. Joe designed all of the brochure graphics and layouts for my teams software packages. They were always top notch quality, attractive and understated with pleasing color pallets. His work was always timely and there were never any surprises from his desk. His skills as a graphic artist made him a sought after resource not only within our division but in many other divisions in the company. I think Joe's best trait is his ability to remain calm and accept changes and critique of his work. He is very talented but these abilities set him head and shoulders above his peers.
