"Efrain is a great team player. He's always willing to help out and never complains even during challenging tasks. He loves his job and it shows through his positive attitude! I'm not sure if I've ever seen him without a smile on his face! He's an awesome addition to the LA office."

"Efrain is a fantastic designer. While working with him at Spokeo, I noticed how detailed and passionate he was about his work. I really appreciated that he worked with me to get things created in a timely manner, and was very receptive. Efrain doesn't have an ego about him and treats everyone with respect, but more importantly, he was easy-going and efficient. Working in digital marketing, there are tight deadlines and quick turn around. It's easy for someone to get burned out or "whiplash" from having to create endless variations of creative to keep it fresh for our recipients, but Efrain was always up for the challenge. Efrain is definitely an asset to any company that is lucky enough to have him!"

Debbie Tran
Sr. Online Marketing Manager | Spokeo.com

"Efrain was such a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him. Efrain always kept our marketing objectives in mind when coming up with designs. He listened to our needs and wants and interpreted them in the most creative ways. On top of that, he proactively reached out for performance results because he always needed to know what worked, what didn’t, and why. His professionalism, talent, and genuinely warm personality made him an integral part of the team and he will be greatly missed."

Lydia Perez
Sr. Online Marketing Manager | Spokeo.com

"I genuinely miss working with Efrain. He was an invaluable part of our team. He was always very focused in his work, had a gracious attitude, had a sharp eye for design, and was a great team member. One of his greatest strengths was building and nurturing good relationships with project managers and his fellow designers. Efrain is a gentle soul and is as easy going as they get. He was a great asset to our team and I hope to work with him again in the future!"

"I highly recommend Efrain. I worked with him over the course of a couple years at Match.com. He designed excellent flash banners and email templates - always in a timely fashion and always with a positive attitude! He is great at his job and has a very bright future in design!"

Scott Trevathan
VP of Digital Marketing| HomeAdvisor

"Efrain is very talented designer. Not just in his skills as a designer, but because he works so well with the marketers. As a marketer that sent CRM projects Efrain's way, I knew I'd always be pleased with his work. He listened and understood what the objective and challenge was for each project and then came up with a creative solution. His friendly personality and can-do attitude makes him a real pleasure to work with."

Sr. Manager, CRM Marketing | Shutterfly Inc.

"Efrain was instrumental in creating our Flash components for our Web site. He used his own time and his own software to create our lead Flash components. He showed great drive and initiative. He was a true team player."

Gary Thill
Independent Writer, Editor, Social Media Strategist

"Efrain was a leader and innovator at Hanley Wood. He was the first to incorporate flash slideshows into our website opening pages and continued to add interesting twists to keep it looking fresh as his skills increased. He was also a talented print designer. One project he managed was to design our annual show guides based on the brochure sent to subscribers. He coordinated numerous proofreading passes with revisions from another office as information continued to change due to additional sales during the production process."

Pam Frankhauser
Publishing & Graphic Design Professional

"Working with Efrain on the print components of language and workplace learning products was always a great experience. He consistently offered good solutions to the challenges of laying out dual-language manuals in ways that didn’t clutter the page or detract from readability—and most importantly, always within the timelines of projects with non-negotiable deadlines. Additionally, his good eye for current design practices helped keep our legacy products looking current and contemporary. Efrain is a great collaborator who is skilled at helping non-designers articulate their own layout ideas in a productive way"
