The work has always been top notch and the process is easy to understand
I have had the pleasure of working on several projects with Cleo over the years. Anything from light creative work to massive ecommerce websites, the work has always been top notch and the process is easy to understand. He really listens to the client's vision and works hard to bring it to life. I've yet to have an idea he wouldn't agree to tackle. I highly recommend this company.

Constantly looking for ways to selflessly support my growth
I had the pleasure of working with Cleo as his direct report at InfoTycoon. Cleo is a uniquely talented and highly-adaptable full-stack designer, motivator of teams, and mentor. Cleo's work ethic, positive attitude, and servant leadership are among the strongest that I've experienced in my 20 years as a working professional. Simply put - he is able to run with concepts, ideate and design quickly and thoughtfully, ensure seamless hand-offs between teams, and make sure we all have fun in the process. As my boss, he was constantly looking for ways to selflessly support my growth and move me forward in my journey from UX to product management. I recommend him with full confidence.

By far, one of the most entertaining lunch-and-learns that we have had
I just wanted to take a second to say thank you again for coming into TCG to present to us. That was, by far, one of the most entertaining lunch-and-learns that we have had and, of course, super informative. Anyone who can manage to get the Squatty Potty Unicorn into a presentation about user experience is A-OK in my book!
Cleo and I worked together on the design team at product innovation consulting agency. In addition to his excellent core skills as a UX/UI Designer, Cleo exhibited a level of understanding of product management and the design process which helped guide our decision-making for clients’ projects forward. This provided huge value when we were all under pressure to deliver results within a short time frame. An amazing mentor and colleague, I can honestly say my career as a UX/UI designer has forever been improved since being introduced to Cleo.
