"George is a tremendously skilled artist, but more than that, he's someone who brings all of his creative skills and strengths to contribute to a team, helping the team achieve more than they ever could as individuals. It was a pleasure to work with him at Microsoft, and I would love to work with him again."

"We needed animation help with our iPhone app. George came on board and made an impact right away. He was able to create new and great-looking animations and they matched well with our existing art. When unexpected changes came up or we needed to try something out to solve a problem on the technical side George rolled with the changes and it was no problem. I recommend George and would happily work with him again."

"George is one of the most talented artists I have worked with in my 20 years in this industry. He is one of the hardest workers I know and will always make sure deadlines are met and the client, internal or external, is happy. Anyone fortunate enough to have his creative talent on their team is very lucky!"
