With IBM

I hired Jay to work with me on many lines of work I was overseeing for Verizon. He has a fantastic work ethic, willing to put in the hours it takes, and keeps a great attitude in the process. He has a good eye for design, and is able to take the work and get it done without having to be closely managed. He gets it, and he asks the right questions if he doesn't. He's fantastic to work with and would refer him to anyone I know, and would also hire him again in a heartbeat!less.

Jay rocks! We worked together on a ton of IBM projects. Jay always hit the ground running, produced excellent work and paid attention to details. He was always calm and cool even when his own workload was overwhelming. I would be so lucky to work with him again.

Hardware Producer at Apple

Jay is an unbelievably talented art director. He loves his craft and is exceptional at communicating his ideas while embracing the clients' needs. I worked with Jay at SapientNitro and MRM//McCann. Both agencies turned to him again and again for his excellent, creative designs and quick turn-around on projects. Hire Jay now—before your competition does.
