Thumbtack Studios Web & Graphic Design

I have worked with Kevin since 2003, and have found him to be that rarest of creatures — a creative with a very artistic eye who is also a sound businessman. He can produce solid functionality, great imagery and grasps the «bottom line» issues. Extraordinarily good at explaining highly technical aspects in layman’s terms, and never, ever sells you bells and whistles that you don’t need. Ethical, honest, original and fun to work with.

We are a veterinary specialty surgery practice, and recently had Kevin design our minimally invasive veterinary surgery companion website,
, to accompany our existing site,
(recently redesigned by Kevin).
Kevins design and graphics skill are great, but acutally the thing we were most impressed with was his marketing perspectives. We gave him some «general concept guidlines» and he hit the nail on the head, and not not just with the visuals, but with names considerations, slogans, tag lines, angles to be considered, etc.
In no particular order, I’d describe Kevin as creative, smart, professional, flexible, communicative, and a pleasure to work with.
To be more specific about his communication style in particular, I appreciated how thorough and detailed he was in response to even the longest winded emails where a llot of people might glaze over responding to a question or two, or answer vaguely to the questions they think are less of a priority.
Thanks Kevin!

even after months of looking at the brochure Kevin created, it’s still fresh and professional.

Kevin is an extremely talented designer who is a dream to work with. He quickly taps into the concept of any given project and works with our style guide to produce polished, professional, clean pieces that are in line with our brand. He’s never been late in the year and a half I’ve been working with him, and he’s done countless design projects: posters, postcards, web images and graphics, car decals, flyers, signs and more. His warm and friendly personality comes with a great sense of humor. These facets are blended nicely with a strong work ethic and professional attitude. I give Kevin 2 snaps up!

Kevin was great to work with. Very professional, great design, flexible (and willing to put in late hours when I needed something done quickly), and able to work with us in order to bring costs down.
We are very happy with the logo design, website (
) and business cards that Kevin designed for us. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from both partners and potential clients.
I’ve already referred to him to friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so!
