working with richard AT VIRGIN AMERICA
“I have worked with Richard for several years at Virgin America and one word comes to mind…Amazing. Richard is an incredible designer who is able to take complex messages and material and turn them into something magical. He not only has helped us with design, he has shaped the look and feel of our Learning Department. Richard is able to quickly identify what your needs are and provide solutions on many different levels - everything from design, to content, to technology solutions. With a "can-do" attitude, Richard is so easy to work with - especially when you really don't know what you are looking for/desired outcomes. He is a patient educator and mentor, who teaches you to think differently by asking thought provoking questions and bringing different perspectives to the table. Last, Richard gets things done with meaningful thought, quality and creativity. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Richard.”
— Deborah McCuiston, Managing Director Learning and Culture, Virgin America
"I have had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last three years. He has been able to take the ramblings in my mind and create articulate graphic designs that go further than I imagined possible. A master of prototyping, Richard brings you along the creative process, educating you along the way, with a new wealth of knowledge in the end. His passion is clear, his humour appreciated and his designs are world class. Richard is a great addition to any team or organization."

“I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Richard while he assisted me, and my team, with our graphic design needs for our training programs at Virgin America. He was able to understand our immediate needs, scope, and challenges, while always helping us think about how we would, and should, use our tools in the future without his assistance. There was no task too small, or too grand, for him to tackle and he always helped us meet deadlines and prioritize the multiple projects we threw his way! I truly enjoyed working with Richard for the last year and half. His passion and talent in his field, ability to understand and visually translate the brand (in multiple media), and maybe most importantly, his humor, always made our meetings ones I looked forward to.”
