Recommendations:
“Anthony joined Behavior’s team as our first staff creative director and immediately threw himself into the work. He is an exceptional and enthusiastic team player, always finding ways to inspire his colleagues, always looking for ways not just to learn new skills himself, but to inspire the same in his teammates. He’s also simply a great guy, which in my opinion is critically important for leading a creative user experience team.”

- Christopher Fahey, Principal/Partner, Behavior

“Anthony brings to the table a design sensibility that extends beyond the aesthics. His consideration for the overall experience and empathy for the person who interacts with the design undoubtedly brings a superior approach to the sketchboard. Additionally, his business acumen and leadership skills enable his teams to quickly assess needs and appropriate deliverables. On a personal level, Anthony is awesome to work with and his attitude of fun makes collaboration smooth; definitely a great asset to any team.”

- Chris Pallé , The UX Workshop

“It was my pleasure to work with Anthony on the major redesign project of Imaginova’s leading science news website, LiveScience.com. As the creative lead at Behavior Design, Anthony worked closely with me and Imaginova’s stakeholders in redesigning and re-launching LiveScience.com as a premier science portal. He was an excellent partner in the redesign process. Throughout the entire project, Anthony was always creative in finding optimum solutions to meet our users’ and business needs. I found him, and the team which he led, to be exemplary in their knowledge of graphic design and UI development. He was professional at all times, detail-oriented and always responsive. I would strongly recommend him without reservation for any crucial project, as he is a wonderfully talented asset to any organization fortunate enough to work with him.”
