Nice things people have said about me and my work

Mary Beth Kirchner
Managing Producer
BURN: An Energy Journal

“Our project started as a public radio/audio series and was visually birthed in Luke’s hands — from creating a beautiful logo to transforming the look of our entire digital presence. He deeply understood the essence of our goals and translated those to a spectacular web design — with tireless attention to every detail and client service that was endlessly gracious and thoughtful. Truly exceptional!”

“I’ve worked with many graphic designers over more decades than I care to count. Luke is one of the most talented … when it comes to collaborative style and responsiveness. The end result of his work on our BURN: An Energy Journal initiative was world class. I look forward to working with him again at my earliest opportunity.”

“For over 6 years I’ve had the pleasure of working with Luke on many projects. Luke has the most incredible ability to explain things just shy of doing it himself which makes understanding what he wants super clear, and hardly ever warrants a follow up for clarification. Luke’s communication kung fu mixed with his amazing artwork and design skills makes him incredibly fun yet professional to work with. I know that anyone who connects with Luke on a project will consider himself in the presence of project awesomeness.”

Luke embodies a rare combination of skills: a thorough knowledge of … art; a rare … expertise with digital creation and production tools … excellent knowledge of typographic subtleties; organization skills … communication smarts … articulate and insightful team member … think on his feet … skilled at contributing to design meetings … brainstorming sessions … preparing bids … or carrying out detailed and timely storyboarding.

His Photoshop skills are remarkable; … excellent interfaces, buttons, and animations … that warranted special mention in Mattel’s art reviews. … excellent, complex work in Premiere, Debabelizer, AfterEffects, … a rare feat … hit the ground running, quickly coming up to speed on our programming environment and media delivery requirements.
