"Marty is an excellent UX designer.

"I have known and worked with Marty for about 4 years now and have nothing but great things to say about his talent, work ethic, and collaboration style. It's a rare quality in graphic designers to be creative and diligent while at the same time able to roll with the punches, accept feedback that may or may not be reasonable, and do it all with a positive attitude - Marty fits the bill on all of the above. He is a true team player and an asset when you need a creative problem solver. He would make a fantastic leader or contributor of any kind to a graphics team."
- Kim Engelstad, NELSON Worldwide
"Not only is Marty one of the most creative graphic designers I’ve worked with, he easily the most collaborative. A true team player, he is able to balance the big picture with the detail, and creative and technical.
I had the pleasure of managing Marty for four years, and one of the first projects he dove into was helping evolve our brand from very corporate and traditional, to current and reflective of the work we do.
Marty would be a great addition to any team, able to contribute both to the value of a team’s work, and to a team’s culture."
