What People Say
Ward Quarles
Senior Director of Product Management, Oracle
Jeff is a great resource for on-line and digital marketing projects. Working with Jeff while at WTS, we leveraged his experience, strategic thinking, timely execution, thorough project planning, and responsiveness. He continually demonstrated his desire to see WTS succeed. Jeff predicts results before things happened. He makes informed decisions because he asks the right questions at the right time—before issues arise. His communication style is effective, direct, and personable. He took ownership and managed our web design expectations. Jeff understands the role of digital and social marketing in business and goes above and beyond to ensure a complete solution. I appreciate working with people of Jeff’s caliber. He was dependable and eager to meet the needs of our business.
Laura Whitlock
Director of Marketing, Pioneers
Jeff is talented, smart and a true gem as far as employees go. He has a very strong work ethic, he is a brilliant and creative web designer and he is one of the nicest people I've had the privilege to work with. He shows true integrity in everything he does. He is always eager to learn new things and hone his skills. He is one of those people who will proactively search out new solutions and approaches. When he first came to work for me, he came to me with an extremely well-thought-out idea to create a digital assets library to help with the efficiencies of the department. That's Jeff... looking for ways to help the company and help his colleagues. I can't say enough about this stellar man. He has contributed to my success and I highly recommend him.
Kerry Nelson
Senior Director of Field Marketing, Infor
Jeff and I worked together as colleagues at J.D. Edwards, so I was aware of the quality of his work before hiring him as a freelancer to manage our Web sites at TAKE Supply Chain. Jeff is a rare individual who combines strong graphic arts skills with the technical know-how needed to build and maintain Web sites – both skill sets were critical for us and I appreciated not having to hire a team or at least two separate people to handle this. He's got a good aesthetic sense and helped guide us toward designs that were pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. His work helped us look more polished and appear larger than the company we were at the time.
Sarah Werner
Experienced Marketing Campaign Manager
I had the honor to work with Jeff while at TAKE Supply Chain for three years. Jeff worked as our sole web/graphics designer for the marketing team. Over those years, Jeff built multiple corporate websites and redesigned our sites for us to fit our needs. On top of all of his Website tasks, he created email and landing page templates for us to use in Silverpop (Vtrenz) and Marketo. I absolutely enjoyed my time working with Jeff. He's incredibly smart and knowledgeable when it comes to Web design but he also knows how to explain the technical details to a non-technical marketing person. He stays on top of the trends and his work always looks professional and fresh. I would definitely recommend Jeff. I don't know what we would have done without him!
Michael Roberts
Director of Marketing, Denver Seminary
Jeff was the perfect mix of creative brilliance and technical know-how. Jeff's business intelligence, design expertise, and flawless execution made him a joy to work with. Without reservation, I would recommend Jeff and his skills – as he would be an asset to any organization.
