Who, Me?
Contrary to speculation by many leading authorities, I had almost no involvement in the Tunguska, Siberia event. Honestly.
I've been working as a designer/art director for many years, and it's always brought me a great deal of satisfaction. It may be partially that I love to design, and it may also be that I love interacting with people. But I think what it really boils down to is, I love the creative process. There's something about brainstorming and creative problem-solving that speaks to my core, and I'm lucky to have found a career that allows me to to make the most of these traits.
Having worked heavily in both print and digital, I know—very well—the differences between the two. They're both capable of fantastic things, but they must truly be regarded for what they are: two very important sides of the same coin.
Here are some recommendations from clients and colleagues...
“Edward is a seasoned and innovative design professional, understanding not only the aesthetics that drive consumers and clients, but the important technical details and implications of interactive design. With dozens of projects under our belt together, I've found working with Edward to be a pleasure and the collaboration to be unmatched. As a web developer it's important to have great communication with your design team, and Edward's creative direction and knowledge not only made our jobs easier, but drove many of the innovative things we were able to introduce into our products. His rapport with clients and ability to incorporate client feedback and vision is unmatched.”
"As well as being a very talented designer, Edward is highly professional in his approach and I couldn't recommend him enough.
Back in 2008, I worked with Edward on a project to redevelop our group branding site. He not only dealt with the technical issues that occasionally cropped up during the project, but he was also able to offer pragmatic solutions along the way.
As a client, dealing with agencies can sometimes be a tense and frustrating process, however he was able to manage our expectations in a way that made the whole experience a joy."
"Edward is very service oriented and social and asks the right questions to find out how to provide clients with the best individual service. He is very passionate about this job, achieving goals and get things done. Any company that hires him will have in Edward a great person making things happen, building up great long lasting relationships with clients, and increasing business."
“Edward Politis is a very talented and insightful designer. His understanding of user experience dovetail with project goals to deliver optimal tools that are easy to use. I have collaborated closely with Edward on developing client solutions and I highly recommend him to any organization seeking a very creative, astute and proactive designer who can not only inspire, but lead others on any design team.”
“Edward’s professionalism and attention to detail as well as his strong knowledge about the Internet is of critical importance for the design and maintenance of our website www.otium-nyc.com. Edward was active in the set up of the site and continues to maintain the site as well as being responsive to all our requests, great or small. I would recommend Edward without any hesitation.”
“Mr. Politis was a pleasure to work with. He is indeed a professional who shows up to work on time, gets tasks done within allocated timeframes and he is indeed very talented in the areas which we used him in which is web design and UI (user interface). I highly recommend him to any company seeking a reliable, and professional leader. We also intend to use him on future projects should the need come up.”
