4 people have recommended Edward
“Ed can always be counted on to get the job done and get it done right. He also brings a number of his own ideas to the table.”
— Tim Mills, Delivery Manager, Merkle, worked with Edward at Merkle|Quris, Inc.
“Ed is solutions-oriented, innovative, creative, and a pleasure to work with. He met deadlines without fail. Ed was always a calming entity when things went a bit crazy and with over eight
different email sent to over eight million people a month, things could lean towards crazy now and then.”
— Faith Kuczaj, Email Marketing Consultant, Blockbuster, was with another company when working with Edward at Merkle|Quris, Inc.
“Ed’s top priority is producing a quality product. He has an exceptional eye for detail, a strong commitment to problem solving, and a unique blend of technical and aesthetic abilities. Ed’s chief contribution in a team environment is that you can trust him to deliver on what he promises to deliver, every time. He’s dependable, personable, and responsible, and I’d hire him in a minute.”
— Eric Lenderman, Content Specialist, Quris, Inc. (now Merkle), worked directly with Edward at Merkle|Quris, Inc.
“Since I started at Merkle, Ed has been absolutely crucial to my keeping my sanity during busy times. Every time I encounter a problem of any kind, he is always there in an instant to help me. And every single time, he knows the answer too! He even helped rebuild my computer when it was having major problems and I.T. was too busy to help. That is going above and beyond his normal duties as Associate Art Director. Every single day, he continues to be a supportive team member and inspires myself and others to be better designers, better coders and consistent producers. He also continually expands his knowledge and expertise. I honestly can go on and on about how great it is to have Ed on our team. I don’t know where we’d be without him.”
