      “Angie brings a creative touch and a positive attitude to every project. Even though she carries a heavy workload in our department, she still maintains a high quality graphic element in all of her designs. Angie is always flexible if changes are required, and works well under pressure. Her great attitude and willingness to take on each task inspires the whole team. She would be an asset to any company that was lucky enough to hire her!”

      "For many years Angie and I worked side-by-side at Conklin Company, and I can say without any question, that I have never worked with another designer who brings her particular qualities together better. She is a workhorse. She has fantastic design chops. And she does it all with a great attitude that will be a huge asset to your team.

      I could always depend on Angie to provide consistently awesome designs in a timely manner, and always with a smile on her face.

      In addition to working well with me, Angie also coordinated closely with all of the various players on and off the creative team to create pieces that strongly communicate, have buy-in from all involved, and ultimately delivered. She was such a team player, that I rarely if ever, as her design superior, needed to get involved. To put it simply, she made my life easy, and she will do the same for you, too!

      So, when you are considering Angie for the position she is applying for, please hear my proud endorsement of her as a huge point in her favor. She has earned it!

      Feel free to contact me at any time to discuss how awesome Angie would be for your design staff!"
