Jeff is very efficient in his work. He listens carefully to understand the
goals of the project, then quickly develops a solution so that he can
solicit feedback along the way. I really appreciated the opportunity to see
the solution "in progress" so I could give input before it was completed.

Jeff is creative in a most intuitive way. I can describe the general
"feeling" that I want to achieve and he's able to translate that into an
actual product, such as a program design or website.

Jeff does not hesitate to offer advice. Sometimes clients think they know
what they want, but they don't have the full picture. Jeff does not blindly
do what he's told, but, rather, does what needs to be done.

Working with Jeff on a video project, I got some new ideas about how to
approach capturing the stories in a way that would be meaningful in the
final production.

Jeff is quiet, but friendly. You can tell he really cares about the work
he does; he wants it to make a difference to you and the world.

Jeff is easy to work with. For one thing, he seeks to meet the real needs
of the person or organization. So, he's willing to have creative dialogue
about what is needed and how to achieve it. He allows you to participate in
the creative process.
