Worked directly with Don Ruth at CED magazine and hired Don for contract work

“I worked as a prepress manager at Reed Business Information while Don was the Art Director for CED magazine. Although I didn’t get to socialize with Don due to our busy lives, I had the opportunity to learn about his work style and ethics in a professional business sense. Don is an amazing talent and I couldn’t wait to receive his page files for the magazine so I can see his design/illustrative talent in action. Each monthly edition was a pleasant surprise, and I would keep copies of the printed magazines for my own library of “great ideas” — once you made it to my personal home office file, I considered you a top 10 designer in my book. Recently I had the opportunity to hire Don for contract work and experienced first-hand what it’s like to finally work with someone who “get’s it”, someone who doesn’t have to be reminded that jobs have deadlines. How refreshing! That’s the work ethic I remember years ago, and that is just who Don is. Talented, organized, and has great attention to detail.” August 8, 2012
