Bio
Tom Lyons
I’ve gotten to work with Patrick the last couple of years and have to say, he is one of the most talented and thoughtful designers I’ve ever worked with. His design is tight and clean. He puts a lot of thinking into his work before he pushes pixels and it shows. He is super collaborative and a total team player. He pushes others work and takes constructive feedback very well. He works his butt off. He understands that sometimes design and art direction don’t come easy all the time and he goes after it. Overall, I do look forward to getting another chance to work with Patrick again.
Steve Sunderland
In addition to being a great designer, Patrick is an all-around great guy. He is easy to work with, open to feedback and new ideas, and handles the pressures of working at an agency with ease. If you're looking for a creative mind with a sophisticated aesthetic and great personality, look no further.
