Bio
Celeste Kruzich
I like to recommend Karl. I have worked beside Karl as well been a client of Ion. Karl is always a pleasure to work with. Besides being incredibly talented and creative, he is a very open person to his colleagues and clients. He makes working with him relaxed and always makes everyone around him laugh. He loves design challenges and is always exploring the best design ideas to fit the clients needs.

Karl is not only an extremely talented designer, but he also understands the larger objectives of the company, which have directly translated into more sales & more revenue. He has an great eye for 2-D creative design, as well as a unique gift at creating 3-D exhibits and environments. One of his strongest assests is being able to really listen to prospective clients, and then translate their requirements and preferences into a fully-functional end product they love. As a manager, he is able to harness the individual strengths of the members of his design team to make the best use of the talents that report to him. One of his top priorities is to make sure the working environment in his department is friendly, service-oriented, professional, results-oriented, and fun.
