I had worked with Wes for five years where we both held the position Associate Creative Director on different accounts. The work was entirely digital, was very often fast paced, but required strong concept and execution. Wes thrived in this environment. He was very creative and highly organized. But equally important, Wes was poised under pressure. He executed hands-on quality work while calmly and professionally directing his team of designers and copywriters. His friendly demeanor was an important part of building positive company culture

Strategic Workspaces takes pride in our innovative approach to designing and laying interior environments, however we felt that our proposals weren’t quite achieving the message we were trying to send from an aesthetic standpoint. We approached Wes with the objective of taking our existing proposal template and updating it to communicate our company values, keep a consistent brand language and provide a visually appealing deliverable that we can present to our clients. Wes did an outstanding job interpreting our goals as well as researching our industry to really development a template that has received rave reviews from both our employees and our clients. He was able to digest an abundance of information and translate it graphically to something our company is proud to send, and truly distinguishes us in the industry.

Wes is one of the most talented and dedicated creatives that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. When your goal is helping clients market themselves, compelling design is a must. Wes is a designer who understands how the right creative engages customers and leads to brand loyalty and more sales. He knows digital design and uses mobile-first thinking to deliver creative that draws people in and brings ideas to life. And not just pretty pictures and attractive composition…Wes gets that user-experience is key and is able to connect the dots for the client. He’s dedicated and truly cares about everything he does. I would take Wes into any client, any day!

I worked with Wes Lyman for four years and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a developer, Wes knows how to present his designs so that they are easy to implement and get into production quickly. He is always anticipating pitfalls that may arise when the designs are finally transformed into code and is not only thinking beyond the graphics, but the functionality as well. As a Senior Art Director, Wes’s dedication to brand consistency is unparalleled and his contribution to the creative direction of a company is invaluable. Wes is a hard worker and is not afraid to challenge himself. He does not wait for people to give him the answer but rather seeks it for himself. That’s just who he is.

Wes is an amazing technical designer that understands the finer and technical points of responsive design, as well as all of the technical limitations of email design. He led the design team for many clients and they were all impressed with his design and leadership skills. He was able to articulate and describe design to clients and account management on their level. He has a dynamic attitude, always positive and ready to both provide what the client needs, while leading them to the solution that they need.

I had the pleasure of working with Wes for 5 years, across numerous large clients. He is very knowledgable in digital creative and process – across social, email and web design. Wes is truly your go-to-guy when you need something done! We’ve worked on several accounts and projects together, and I fully trust his judgement and recommendation. He is has many digital capabilities, but always willing to learn and lean in!
