Bio

Ronnie and I worked together for six years at a luxury design firm and itβs my pleasure to recommend him for any endeavor. He is extremely accountable to deadlines, creative, skilled at working independently, ambitious and charismatic. I have no doubt heβll make a positive impact on his teammates. Anyone would be lucky to have him and I have no doubt he will exceed all expectations.

Ronnie Frey is a brilliant. When I went back to pursue my design degree, I was fortunate to spend my first internship working for him. To say it was an honor is an understatement. Many people are good at design and "get it" but Ronnie excels - his design work is both exquisite and SMART (the best kind there is!). He's a great problem solver and his end results are fabulous given parameters of each client's challenge. Not only is Ronnie clearly talented, but I found him to be inspiring, patient, kind, pleasant and down-to-earth. Truth be told, Ronnie taught me more about the "WHY's" in the design and related business (product costs, billing logistics, etc.) than anyone else. That information was quite valuable moving forward in my own life and career. Despite how busy he often was, he made time for others and never treated anyone as if we were anything less - including an intern. He treated us as equal and valuable members of his team and trusted us enough to represent him and his business. This was a great honor and spoke volumes what a great leader and person he is. To this day, I'm still grateful I was able to work with him at that point of life. He taught me a great deal. Ronnie Frey sets the bar high. He is a true master in his craft and gifts. I'm hardly surprised by his continued achievements. I highly recommend him to anyone!
