I'm Joe Perry, a
UI Designer

"Joe Perry is the type of visual designer where you can give minimal direction and he knocks it out of the park, or, more to his preference, to learn deeply about the subject which he's designing. One particular collaboration that comes to mind is when Joe was assigned to the biggest event for our most prolific client and he had to come up with a look and feel to brand the entire experience. Though this client is known to go through rounds of edits, Joe's vision knocked it out of the park on the first presentation. What's more is that he offered completely different design options to choose from. Also, Joe's approach is holistic, positive, patient, and team-oriented. He volunteers to assist even when it's not part of his scope of work and always goes above and beyond the call of duty. Joe Perry is a top caliber designer and team player, and I highly recommend working with him."

"Joe Perry was helpful to our company in many ways. He was organized, efficient, and reliable. We have over 400 clients with individual art requirements and he became familiar with each of them. We also had over 400 individual product SKUs, and Joe learned them as well. That’s a lot for a person to hold in his head.
‍
Joe not only created client artwork, he helped devise ways to maintain, update, and remove files when necessary. As the company grew, Joe not only embraced new process changes, he was creative and helpful in suggesting means to achieve greater efficiencies. Two examples: He suggested that we reorganize the file hierarchy on our servers, migrating the client data away from collateral art or supporting materials to eliminate confusion and the accidental printing of unapproved items. He also worked with me on file naming procedures that helped ensure that the artists more easily understood each client’s requirements. Now our art files are searchable by keywords and the client templates include references to legal or art changes that need to be made. Makeovers are greatly reduced.
‍
In addition to our daily production work, Joe also designed collateral flyers, catalogs, and marketing pieces using Adobe Creative Suite and Excel daily. He was energetic in our department, creating artwork and able to print it on dual Konica Minolta presses through a Fiery interface, then trimming the results on a Baumcut cutter. He could run the whole place on a snow day.

He’s a positive, hard working person. He got along with everyone, and had good working relationships with other departments.  He was truly productive, and we miss having him. He can be a great asset to any company."

“Joe was such a wonderful colleague to work with. He was the lead graphic designer on multiple events and projects that I was spearheading.  He is clever and imaginative, always bringing the clients ideas to life.  He provided creative alternatives when the client wasn't exactly sure what they wanted.  Whenever the client pivoted in direction he responded quickly to new instructions, situations and methods.  He consistently brought a sense of calm to the client while always delivering his responsibilities and adapting to consistently changing situations.
‍
As a colleague he was thoughtful, supportive, always asking if he can add more to his plate, friendly and hardworking. I would welcome any opportunity I had to work with Joe again.  He is such a valuable team member.”
