I have had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last 15 years on various projects. I was a director of communications for an independent school for 10 years, and for the last five I've worked as a marketing consultant for higher education. What impresses me most about Richard is his ability to quickly gain a sense of the overall feel for a project even if I’m not quite sure how to articulate it. He listens carefully and suggests thoughtful design choices that are always engaging and well executed. Richard also understands very well the importance of tone and voice not only in text but also in design, which I believe to be a rare quality. Occasionally, I’ve had to involve my colleagues in the concept phase of a project. Richard not only offers to be part of those meetings, but he has repeatedly demonstrated an innate ability to be both attentive and to focus the conversation so that the goal is clear. Having worked together on so many projects I’m particularly grateful for his deep knowledge not only of our organization, but also of my working style. This allows him to advance projects from concept to production efficiently with little need for revisions. Richard is my go-to designer and it has been my pleasure to work with him. I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation.
