Joel is the ideal senior art director. He's highly strategic, an innovative creative lead and knows how to build and nurture a brand. We worked together daily and he handled an immense workload. However his attention to detail and overall design strategy never wavered. He constantly was exploring new concepts beyond what was expected. 

The entire marketing team views him as as the perfect partner on key marketing projects requiring a designer who thinks high-level strategy; also understands functionality/engagement for our target audience(s) and project objectives. 

He's a huge asset to any organization.
