Tracy is the owner of Communigraphics, Inc. She takes a hands-on
approach to the running of her thriving screenprinting, signs, embroidery
and promotional products business. She worked closely with myself
and other design staff to plan upcoming internal projects and work
on brainstorming for proposals for big ticket customers. Her active
role in the business makes her an excellent source of knowledge
on the talents and character of each of her employees.
Mike is also a graphic artist at Husqvarna who was senior to
me but also shared many of the same responsibilities as myself.
I was hired partly to take on some of his workload as the business
grew. He has the best perspective of anyone there of what the job
requires and the scope of the work that I did while on staff there.
Oakley is the student pastor at Northside Baptist Church in Columbia,
South Carolina. My working relationship with him came about after
he noticed some of the poster and promotional item work I completed
for a concert in the Columbia area. I have since produced designs
for promotional flyers, banners and other materials for Oakley and
taken on other design projects for other groups to whom Oakley has
suggested my talents.
Until very recently when his job title was adjusted to reflect
a new position within the church, Mike was known as the Director
of Connections at TrueNorth Church. He coordinated a large network
of volunteers for the church as well as oversight of the missions
programs there. If anything was happening at TrueNorth, then Mike
was likely in the know about it. He can vouch both for my design
skills and especially for my character and heart behind why I do
what I do.
Chip is the college pastor at Cedar Creek Church in Aiken, South
Carolina, and also the principal speaker and leader for MERGE, a
ministry for 18 to twenty-somrthings. I have had a close working
relationship with him in the past couple years as I have been the
principal graphic designer for all MERGE-related materials. He is
very familiar with my design work through MERGE and is an excellent
reference of my personal character as well.
