RECOMMENDATIONS
Elizabeth Cale
Digital Content Manager
"Raquib is a talented problem solver. I work with him on a daily basis on both design and photography projects, and I have been
extremely satisfied with the results. He listens well and creates unique solutions. I would trust him with any of my creative needs."
S Brooks Myers
Founder and CEO at Knockout Concepts
"Raquib takes branding to the next level. He is best at creating clean and precise graphics after much listening and diligent iterating.
His careful eye for balance adds to his ability to generate professional grade look and feel."
Kathleen Day
Owner, Katalina's Cafe/Creative & Branding consultant
"Raquib is that rare designer who has a refined aesthetic sense but is even-keeled about making changes in order to sell a product
or communicate a message even if that means making the design or photo less "art" and more "commerce". He's one of the easiest
people I've ever worked with or had work for me."
Shay-Jahen Merritté
Experienced Creative Strategist
"I had the immense pleasure to work with Raquib, while he was working with Ghinda Couture Bridal Studio. I was working on a
project in conjunction with Ghinda, and our photographer for the shoot dropped out last minute, and Raquib very ably jumped in and
made magic. With very little preparation he was able to create beautiful fashion shots that were beyond what I expected with little
direction. His creativity, skill and confidence were outstanding!"
Ian MacConnell
Director of Digital Strategy at Battelle
"Raquib is incredibly talented. Whether you are looking for art direction, design, photography or all around creative, Raquib delivers.
Remarkably, in the four years I worked with Raquib, I don't think I've ever heard him say an unkind word or complain once. His kind
and gentle manner are equaled only by his knowledge of digital design and all of skills needed to do amazing work."
