JR is definitely a highly skilled expert - and absolute PRO - in his field. While collaborating together for a couple years, I was appreciative of the way he would interact with and treat those on my team with respect, no matter the project, no matter their position in the company. Not only did this help to foster a strong working relationship resulting in many successful launches & events, it was always refreshing to work a positive, patient and optimistic leader who never hesitated to teach when the moment presented itself. It was awesome to work with and cross paths with such a talented individual. I wholly recommend JR for any company that seeks a top-notch team player, loyal leader and humble human.

JR is a visionary! He has a brilliant eye for color, texture, lighting, composition, and all the things that make up stunningly beautiful design. I had the joy of tag-teaming with JR on a few projects where I got a closer look at his creative process, and I can’t speak highly enough of his talents and skills. Plus he’s just plain cool and so fun to work with. I’d recommend him for art direction and design any day. Working with him for four years was an absolute joy!
