Bio
Tim Carter
I worked with Talya for over 10 years, during which time I watched her grow into her role as a key member of the Global Design team at Virgin Active. Talya was responsible for developing our club specific brand packs: From brief, concept, execution of photoshop designs and managing third party relationships, to final approval Talya was capable of handling the entire process. That's what made her a great asset ... her work was always accurate and on time and delivered with low ego and fuss. Talya was also capable of working on site with architects and builders to ensure that our designs were executed to the standards that we required. Talya worked remotely and that was never a problem for me because she made the line of communication simple and clear, whether via phone or video conference. She is self motivated, articulate, creative and always contactable and a pleasure to work with . I wish her everything of the best going forward.

Talya's work is incredible. She puts so much time and effort into whatever she does. The thing that shines through the most has to be her passion for design, and that's what always makes her work stand out.
