EVERYTHING RECENT AND DECENT
David John Connollyt: 07445 953795e: [email protected]
Dave works well under pressure and is adept at managing people on major projects or pitch situations. He always goes the extra mile and will always challenge a brief, striving to come back with something that is special, eloquently selling in his ideas and taking feedback positively.
Ed WalkerDESIGN MANAGER, 4CX
Lee TridiniCREATIVE GROUP HEAD, THE BIG KICK
Nicola RodriguesMANAGING DIRECTOR, DEAL AGENCY
Dave is without doubt the most talented designer I have worked with in my career to date. Not only is he extremely skilled as a designer, he really understands brands, clients and the challenges faced working within a marketing agency. He is professional, approachable, creative and truly works together with the account handling team and clients.
Dave has proved himself to be a very adaptable resource. His work reflects the appropriate spirit of a brief with a good understanding of aesthetic balance and style. He is very self sufficient, able to work on his own initiative or as a team player.
