Fortunate to come highly recommended
It was truly a pleasure working with someone as motivated and enthusiastic as Ken. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that our team was bringing fresh, relative content to our customers while both meeting deadlines and continuously improving cross-functional communication and collaboration. His positive attitude and strong work ethic were contagious, and he left us with a legacy of process improvements that we are still building upon today. Focused on tangible, measurable results, it was never difficult to build or pivot on projects with Ken.
Lindsey KujawaDIRECTOR, MARKETING - ASHLEY FURNITURE
Ken’s creative vision and expertise were instrumental in shaping the creative direction of our organization. His depth of experience was evident in every project he led. His ability to conceptualize innovative campaigns and translate them into visually stunning designs was nothing short of exceptional.
Ken is a true creative force and his dedication to producing high-quality designs, and ability to meet project deadlines with precision were assets that greatly benefitted our team.
Chad JaquaysCO-FOUNDER & COO - TIVLY
Ken is a problem solver, a collaborative thinker and a great creative partner. He is a master at taking words and stories and illustrating them through design, and has worked closely with executive leadership to bring their speeches to life through imagery and animation.
Nicole PaceCHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Early in my career, Ken was one of the first people I collaborated with and he was incredibly patient and helpful in sharing information and best practices with me as I was learning processes and systems. As I have grown in my role Ken has continued to be supportive, responsive and has added value to everything we have worked on together.
Meytal MarkmanVP, PRODUCT
I had the chance to work with Ken to help jumpstart sales efforts for a division of Rakuten Advertising. Our task was to find the right positioning to help generate buying interest among our target audience and to package our solution in the most appealing way possible. Also we had less than six months to produce results.
In addition to the passion he brought to the project, his creativity, skill at design and desire to understand every customer challenge were second to none. Through his efforts and some of my own we indeed found success and grew the division by 100% YOY.
Tony DudaSr Director Business Development
Ken has reformed the way I look at and understand brand standards, helped me to evangelize the benefits of working cross-functionally and with a global perspective. One of Ken’s greatest strengths is his ability in nurturing a truly creative culture, injected with humor, with his team and with others outside of his organization.
Aimee Cerny, MBASENIOR DIRECTOR, CLIENT SERVICES
I had the great pleasure of working with Ken in his capacity as Creative Director at Ashley Global Retail. He brought an entirely new skillset with him and was fearless in his willingness to jump in and engage on the big projects. He is a consummate communicator and a true master of brand and creative development. Plus, he’s just a pleasure to be around. I will miss his sense of humor and our team meetings will never be the same.
Kay CarterSENIOR COPY MANAGER
Ken is an excellent mentor and leader. He is supportive of his team and fosters a collaborative and open work environment. Most importantly to me though, Ken is a leader that I respect. I respect him because he is talented and knowledgeable creatively. He’s transparent, honest and approachable. He is by far one of the most genuine and amazing leaders I have had the privilege to work with.
