Bio
Brett Player
Joe is an incredibly fun guy to work with and extremely kind to everyone he works with, whether a colleague or a client. His illustration and design skills are exemplary as he provided unique and artful creative solutions for Home Depot. Joe has a real gift of combining artwork and logic within storytelling to lead a consumer down a directed path. As the Senior Creative Director I would often hear from the Home Depot execs how much they appreciate Joe and his work. I'd enthusiastically recommend Joe to anyone looking for a talented team player who shows no ego and gets things done.

Joe is an asset to any team he's working with. He's always willing to jump in and help wherever help is needed – and he turns around great work. His illustrations have helped tell stories, shape brands, develop concepts, and win new business. On a personal note, Joe is truly a joy to be around – ever positive, always with a bright idea, and always smiling. I enjoyed working with Joe and would welcome the chance to do so again.
