Art Directors and Graphic Designers are two completely different things. While an Art Director has to think more about making a concept work strategically with copy. Graphic designers are able to focus more on letting the design do the work. Paul is one of the few people I’ve worked with who is able to do both. He can take a brief and think through the strategy to help design the right layout to convey the message, or he can take the essence of your brand and design an award winning logo. It’s this double threat that allows him to create consistently great work. As a person he’s warm and friendly, which makes working with him easy and enjoyable. Creatively he understands how to talk through and idea to make it as strong as possible. Overall, Paul would be a welcome addition to any agency not only as a fantastic art director, but also a boost to the creative culture. Robert Lehmann - Copywriter - Hill Holliday
