Erin is our go-to Art Director/Designer when we’re in need of any short or (especially) long-term help here at the agency. The reasons for this are simple. She’s excellent at Every. Aspect. Of. The. Job.

Firstly, Erin’s an active listener when it comes to briefs. A quick study on the nuts and bolts of a brief, she asks excellent strategic questions along the way.  This, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the task.

Then she gets down to work. And what she comes back with are conceptual ideas that always reflect just how serious she is about doing high quality, original work. Her art direction choices and design skills are both superb.

And she believes in what she presents. Commitment to the project oozes out of every pore, in only the most positive ways. So that means she’s driven, and passionate about the work in a way that’s always respectful of everyone involved on the team. And because she’s been on a long-term contract here at our shop, I’ve also seen her in more than a few client presentations. All of these same skills are on display in that milieu.

The first time I met Erin, I looked over her shoulder and watched as she carefully kerned the headline on a small banner ad. I knew immediately that I was going to love working with her. Not only is she incredibly talented, she truly cares about her work. She treats art direction as the craft it is and continually strives to improve.

Erin’s art direction and design skills are superb. Over and above that, she’s very smart, hard-working, easy to get along with, and is great conceptually. In short, she’s an amazing addition to any project or team.

The wonderful thing about Erin is that she always delivers. I’ve worked with her as a partner and as creative director and I never had a worry that we were going to be left in the lurch ideas-wise. Having Erin around is like having money in the bank. I know I’ll be working with her again and I look forward to it.

Erin impressed us straight away as an art director with an account services background. She is great with clients, partners, everyone. Very collaborative, strategic, fast and hard working. Her positivity in any crisis has been impressive and sometimes baffling. This woman can pull off the all-nighters like they’re no sweat.
Erin has strong ideas and she’s eager to learn. I can’t really say enough about her. Call me if you want to hear more gushing. I think you get it though: highly recommended.
