What They're Saying

  • Wes is the kind of guy that really doesn’t need a lot of recommendations. Once you meet him and see his work – that’s all you need. He’s easy to work with, very detailed oriented, knows what the client wants and can take it and make it better. He brings high energy to any creative department and he’s also the kind of person you not only want to have on your team but also want to hang out with. Would I hire Wes again? Absolutely!
    Phillip Smith, Digital Creative Director-PureRed

  • 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.
    Nick Borseti, Project Executive-Strategic Spaces

  • 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!
    Melissa Murphy, VP, Client Services at BlueSoHo

  • 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.
    Steve Armstrong, Senior Web Developer-Smartling

  • 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.
    Ronnie Roberts, VP, Technology, Definition 6

  • Wes is one of my never fail, go-to designers…that’s why I’ve worked with him for so many years. Thought, perspective, insight,  and perfection – these are what he brings to every project he touches and every project is made better because of it.
    Nik Barkley, Creative Director, Hatch
