what others are saying...
Joey is super talented...one of those rare creative minds that also can translate brilliance into practical solutions. I worked in the creative department with Joey, and since that time, have also hired her for freelance projects. Her knowledge of PhotoShop and her work is impeccable.
Deb Delisi, Delisi Art
“Joey has an uncanny ability of getting a sense of what the client wants to communicate and converting that to graphic design. She also has a solid foundation of technical skills. As a techie, Joey and I work well together. She creates a great design, and I can turn that into a working website. She understands the occasional design compromise that needs to be made for technical reasons as well. I enjoy working with her!”
Jen Kramer, 4WebInc
As Owner and then Creative Director of Church & Main, Inc. I worked with Joey on a multitude of projects large and small from 2000-2004. She also provided design and illustrations for a book I was writing at the time.
In other words, I am very familiar with her creative skills and talents as well as her ability to work as part of a creative team. Here’s what you need to know:
- Joey is one of the most imaginative and resourceful people you will ever have the pleasure of working with.
- To my ongoing surprise/relief she has no difficulty putting that imagination (and any related creative “agendas”) at the service of the strategic goals of the project.
- In fact, she sees meeting practical goals—from strategic to budget to deadline—as important a creative challenge as the design itself.
- Her technical skills, particularly in terms of illustration and retouching/re-creation, are simply unsurpassed.
- She is excellent at mentoring younger designers and even explaining technical details to older creative directors!
- While she doesn’t “suffer fools gladly,” she is refreshingly forthright and works very well as part of a creative team.
I could probably put all this in more elegant prose, but those are the facts and Joey’s qualifications don’t need any artificial embellishment. Please don’t hesitate to call or write if you would like me to elaborate.
