She would jump at the chance to help, stick around until it was done, offer unique and fresh solutions, train her colleagues and lastly her work was done with great creativity and attention to detail. Her personality and attitude were apparent and she quickly became an invaluable team member! Jordan Perrey Director of IT Services, Okanagan Collage I've had the pleasure of working with Shay over the last 8 months. She has been a consummate professional and a major contributor to our design team and flagship product. Her ability to navigate the sometimes chaotic and stressful ebb and flow of an early stage startup, while maintaining a positive, yet pragmatic attitude was quite impressive. I would not hesitate to work with Shay again in the future. Jason Lawrence CTO at LiteLink Labs SKILLS Illustrator InDesign Photoshop Later.com Asana Pre-press
