David, we now have +9 Report on Rehabilitation Research in our hands
and the design is stunning! You and your team have produced the most
attractive and informative research report I have ever seen. The
reaction from everyone who has seen it is fun to watch. The design
grabs their attention and they are addicted to turning the pages.
Thanks.

On a tight budget, we needed to produce a logo, client workbook,
professional manual, brochure, and poster. David did not have an easy
task working with our largely clinical working group, but throughout
the process he was as good-humoured and patient as he was
professional. He was detail-oriented, and always met the deadlines as
negotiated. David was also responsive to our concerns and requests,
but took responsibility for the direction of the project. Our survey
of over 150 clinicians who used the materials shows that they
consistently rated them very highly on attractiveness and user-
friendliness. We are now in our fourth printing of these materials,
and when we expand them, we will certainly have David on our team.

Clinical Director,
Community Head Injury Resource Services of Toronto (CHIRS)
I have had the privilege of working with David when I headed
communications and marketing for Harbourfront Centre, United Way of
Greater Toronto, and Mount Sinai Hospital. David begins by truly
listening to the client, taking time to understand the goals of the
initiative, and the desired audience. In each case, he is able to
absorb and reflect the client’s value proposition, and express it
visually in a way that sets it apart with simplicity, style and
beauty. He respects the process and engages the team in creating an
outstanding product that reflects the organization and its
aspirations. He meets deadlines, and respects budgets; his endless
creativity distinguishes each initiative, and his ability to solve
problems is unparalleled.

David, this is to thank you very much for contributing your creative
talent and support as a key component in bringing two very successful
shows to the film and television industry. The Gemini Award design was
unique, many-layered and a stunning use of photographic image that
truly reflected television, its makers and the viewer. Needless to
say, you managed to surpass one design with another in creating the
image for the 20th Annual Genie Awards. Your choice of colour and
design throughout the books served to showcase the content and draw
attention to the critical elements. If there was one thing repeatedly
complimented, it was your design. We are proud to celebrate our 20th
birthday with such a classic and strong image statement. Every detail
of your work showed care, expertise and attention to detail, and was
so appropriate to our goal of honouring excellence.

David, on behalf of everyone at YMCA, thank you for your help in
producing this year’s Community Fund Campaign materials. They have
received a terrific reception from people throughout the organization.
