Relationships
I’ve enjoyed working with several talented and engaging people over the years. Here’s what a few have to say about my work:
Texas Education Agency
“Anthony consistently produced top quality products for the 850+ agency employees. His technical repertoire is very broad, covering the spectrum from print to web. Equally important is his ability and initiative to teach others. He often provided one-on-one training to other Design Center Staff members on many of the standard design applications. Hiring Anthony is a “win-win” scenario for all concerned. He clearly has the demonstrated technical and leadership skills to manage a team of graphic designers. He is a dedicated professional who will make an immediate positive contribution to the mission of your organization.” - Bill Hoppe, Director of Agency Infrastructure
“The work that Anthony performed for our division was clearly outstanding and creative. His knowledge and expertise with graphics and technology contributed to the excellent products that he created. In his work for our division, Anthony was always collaborative and innovative. We are extremely pleased with his work style and products.” - Sha H Cowan, ED.D, Director of Services for the Deaf
Working with a limited budget, I created a set of two-color Spanish and English tri-fold brochures for the division that emphasized style and simplicity without being overly expensive.
“…In the consultation phase, Anthony provided creative guidance and options…We felt very comfortable in trusting his advice because he also wanted to reflect the best work of the Agency.” - Emi Johnson of TEA
Builder Homesite
Having successfully art directed the production of the builderhomesite.com demo and the Home Life Manager Flash demo, I helped develop the client relationship by creating solid, creative designs and intuitive, user centric interfaces.
“Our internal creative designer was blown away – [he] was very pleased with the work…in fact the designs were so good, we asked Portaris to do the commercial site.” - Mary Browning of Builder Homesite
VG Solutions, LLC
“My experience working with Rezendes Design has been in a word – wonderful! The product was terrific, timely and most importantly for my new company budget, affordable…Since this animated design project, I have returned to Rezendes Design for logo projects for both of my companies. The experience was the same. I highly recommend Rezendes Design for any computerized graphic work you may have in mind. He will get you where you need to be, in a very friendly, timely and cost effective manner.” - Valarie Gill
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
I’ve worked on dozens of projects for the Association, ranging from 4-Color brochures to magazine ads. One of the larger projects involved designing over 175 charts for their 564 page Occupational Fraud and Abuse reference book. In every case, the project was completed on-time and on-budget.
“…in light of the difficulties we have had with other contractors, your effort is all the more appreciated. If I ever need help with graphic design or illustration in the future, you’ll certainly be teh first person I call.” - John Warren of ACFE
Dynegy, Inc.
Collaborating with Dynegy’s advertising agency was key to completing this project successfully. Working as part of a team, I was able to generate the Dynegy Flash animation that matched the agencies vision.
“[your team has] gone above and beyond expectations in stepping up to the plate…In fact, we couldn’t have done it without you!” - Ann Batton of Dynegy, Inc.
