I have been an ad writer for 20 years. Half way thru that stretch, I met Karl, and he promptly blew my mind about what Art Directors were capable of. Our first project was a series of spec ads for a pitch, and those ads are still in my portfolio, a decade later. If there is one word that I would use to describe Karl, it is this: "surprising." Just when I think I know about what to expect, he comes back with some sort of non-linear awesomeness that surprises and delights. And I don't use the word "delight" lightly. But to you grizzled marketing execs and ad misfits, you know when you see something that makes you giggle. On projects where we have teamed together, Karl has delivered the goods, delivered that giggle, so many times that I just expect that from him now. Which sucks for him, because he set perhaps too high a bar. If I could command you to hire him, I would. But only if it doesn't jack up me working with him.

I’ve worked with Karl on two large-scale branding projects, and he consistently delivers impressive work. He has a keen eye for detail, is a team player, and is always willing to go the extra mile to get a project across the finish line. He also does a fantastic job of integrating the client’s recommendations with his ideas. I look forward to working with Karl on future projects and happily recommend his services to anyone looking for a talented and experienced brand designer.

Karl's art direction skills are second to none. A true craftsman who pays great attention to detail and has a special gift when it comes to choosing fonts and handling type. He is also very easy to work with, always being receptive to the input of others and then putting his spin on it to make the creative even better. Whether it's a quick turn assignment or one with a longer timeframe, Karl has a history of delivering top-notch creative solutions that are right on the mark. Two thumbs up!
