Testimonials:
I find myself repeating things that Kirk taught me to my own team. Quite often, I like to think, “What would Kirk do in this scenario?”
Kirk helped me develop self-confidence, and skill as a designer and a young professional. Whether in a design critique, a one-on-one, or a client meeting, he always found opportunities for us to do our best work!
