"I have worked with Casey now for almost 8 years. First at Citicards, then at Taleo and now finally at Oracle. During that time I have come to appreciate what a well-rounded and talented designer he is. He picks up on the issues quickly, always champions the user and manages multiple projects and personalities effortlessly. If I had to point out his strongest skills though, I would choose these; He is an incredible idea generator... any brainstorming session needs Casey involved. He is truly at home with a whiteboard and markers. He is also an amazing inspirer. Casey can sway the team mood in any situation. His enthusiasm is contagious, he makes sure to keep everyone around him engaged and in the loop and no matter the obstacles he always has a smile on his face."
Noone Savage, Design Strategist, Oracle

Very sensitive to the user and able to merge that elegantly with the business vision. He's fun to work with as he brings humor along the way"

But his most valuable talent is his partnering nature and his innate ability to put people at ease. This quality enables others on his team to focus on the challenge at hand and achieve the best results for clients and customers.

Some of the best work in my portfolio are pieces that were art directed by Casey. His positive attitude is another factor that sets Casey apart from most "creative" type personalities. It's a pleasure to work with him."
