Testimonials & Clients

Here's what others are saying about me

Kent is one of the best people I have had the pleasure of sitting next to or working till 2am with. He is someone who will go out of his way to help out and has a good work ethic no matter what the situation or task. He is remarkable at dealing with a variety of difficult or particular personalities and still making the project a success by listening and communicating well. I have also always admired his speed and precision with all aspects of print, and his strong design sense. Wonderful people like Kent are rare to encounter, in the workplace or in life.

Beth Fujiura

Art Director – Weiden & Kennedy

Kent is very a professional person whom I have always enjoyed working with. He's very easy going and always did a great job on whatever projects came across his desk. Kent went above and beyond the regular scope of his work, offering his help with pro bono clients I was working on, never minding working after hours to complete the job. I would recommend Kent highly.

Roya Partovi

Art Director – Publicis Worldwide

Kent is one of the strongest co-workers I have worked with. He is not shy when it comes to problem solving and he has a good attitude when asked to help. More than once he has been instrumental in completing impossible work within impossible deadlines. It would be a pleasure to work with Kent again in the future and he would be an asset to any company that hires him.

Angie Montoya

Senior Project Manager – Saatchi & Saatchi LA

Kent is an awesome studio artist. He is extremely diligent and conscientious in his work. No matter how much stress or pressure he is under, he always keeps his cool and knows how to treat all his colleagues with respect. Kent knows how to work quickly and precisely.
