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 Pace

VP of Marketing, North America

Ken has reformed the way I look at and understand brand standards, enhanced the look and feel of my own internal and external presentations ten-fold and helped me to evangelize the benefits of working cross-functionally and with a global perspective. One of Ken’s greatest strengths, outside of his exceptional band and creative development, is his ability in nurturing a truly creative culture, injected with humor, with his team and with others outside of his organization.

Aimee Cerny, MBA

Ken Drab is a leader, a forward thinker and a great designer. As a manager, his support and backing of those under him was exceptional finding ways to support and push you to do better and be better. Working with Ken has been a great experience.

Raul Sinclair

Senior Designer, Creative Marketing

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.
