Recommendations
"Beyond being a big talent and a total pro, Braeden is fast, dependable, and terrific to work with. Get him in - you’ll be glad you did."
- Greg Gray, Freelance CD/Copywriter
"A strong conceptual and creative thinker, collaborative team player, and respectful and supportive of his colleagues. Braeden is thoughtful and confident in how he conceives and presents his ideas and is very receptive to constructive feedback and ideas that may not always come from within the creative department. I’ve always appreciated Braeden’s sensitivity, craftsmanship and collaborative spirit. He would be an incredible asset to any organization, but in particular one that allows him to fully express his creativity, individuality, and passions."
- David Kenyon, Creative Director/VP-Strategy
"If you're ever looking for someone for your team that has a good soul, is a hard worker, creative thinker, and a is a designer with some chops, then this is your guy. I had the pleasure of working with Braeden for almost 2 years and would recommend him for any freelance or full-time work. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions about Braeden."
- Chris Taciuk, Creative Director
"Braeden was one of the top students in the first graduating class of the Humber BA program in Creative Advertising. He consistently produced top-tier work, and combined it with an excellent work ethic, a willingness to take on any task we threw at him, and strong conceptual abilities. He has a nice flair for interactive and his design work is very energetic and engagingly lateral. He's low-maintenance & easy to get along with, and though he has shown the ability to adapt to conventional agency environments, I think he'd really flourish in places where he gets some creative latitude. And I'd hire him in a heartbeat."
