"I first worked with Chad in October of 1999. We had a situation where we had to clean up the work of another artist, and Chad redesigned the entire site. The original artwork he drew for that site is framed and in a place of honor on my desk. We've had Chad redesign our website two times more since that, and in 2002 it's really more like five times -- he designed every one of our changable color 'themes' this year for registered users. Last year he created a navigational design so compelling that many of our readers had his symbols tattooed on their bodies.
Chad always puts out high quality work, and responds well to feedback. His ability to work in different media has served me well -- he has designed promotional postcards for various ventures, t-shirts, stickers, presentation covers and business cards for us. Whenever I need a design job done, Chad is always the first person I think of.
I feel very lucky and privileged to have original artwork by Chad in my house, and I look forward to working with him in years to come."
