Why work with The Portfolio Reviewer?
Portfolios can be misleading. It takes a seasoned eye to identify the right person behind the portfolio who can best meet your job requirements. A sexy portfolio does not equate to someone who can multitask, play well with others, work efficiently, and within scopes and deadlines.
It’s also critical to understand your specific needs. Do you need a Senior Art Director, a Creative Director, or a Senior Graphic Designer? Clearly defined needs will save time and money by aligning the appropriate talent to your short and long-term needs.
Frederic can identify designers whose portfolios demonstrate a deep understanding of typography, color, composition, versus the ones who were heavily art directed. He knows how to look for those nuggets that can sometimes only be found in their personal work.
With a plethora of hands-on project experience under his belt for some of the most recognizable organizations in the world, Frederic has a deep knowledge of the design & creative industry and expert knowledge of the tools of the trade. He also keeps his ear to the ground for today’s design trends and its influencers.
