"I have hired Robin Haldane on multiple occasions. His work ethic, attention to detail, design, UI/UX, photography, and coding have all been utilized and proven in the projects hired for. I wish we could employ him full time, because he would be a tremendous asset to any team. He has a very diverse skill set. Our expectations have been exceeded every time we have worked together. His role tends to expand with us after each project when we uncover a new skill, or his recommendations lead us to new marketing initiatives we hadn’t yet considered. I would recommend Robin without hesitation."
"Upon hiring Robin, it was evident that he was a very talented graphic designer. His portfolio was not, in the least bit, fluffed up or falsified. Robin was able to turn around our failing brand image by creating, writing, and designing a company-wide style guide that was implemented within the first month of his employment. He held the company to his vision, and soon, we found ourselves reaching new heights, previously thought of as unattainable in terms of our marketing reach. Robin was able to take a boring cosmetic manufacturing company and make it attractive through intricate design work that he was able to produce in an almost inhuman pace. His design work is better than most designs that I have seen, and, as his manager, I knew that I could count on Robin to not only meet the deadline set with something that was satisfactory, but with work that went above and beyond what was required of him.
I have personally spent many hours getting to know Robin, both during regular work hours, and during our late nights with the team finishing projects. Robin, in my opinion, is one of the most loyal, hard-working, down-to-earth individuals a company could hire. I never heard him complain about having to stay late or put in extra time to finish last-minute projects handed to the marketing team. His calm temperament and character made him an absolute pleasure to work with and ultimately, made it possible for us to accomplish so much as a marketing team at Northwest Cosmetic Labs, and then again at Lifetech Resources."
"Robin is one of the most talented graphic designers I have ever worked with. We spent months looking for the right mix of creativity and ability to produce high quality work at a fast pace, and we finally found that person in Robin. Aside from his artistic abilities he is a great mentor, and was willing to work with graphic artists that didn't have near the experience that he has."
"Robin is a very well-rounded designer and a pleasure to work with. While we did not work together directly, he made our tasks much easier by having a comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of usability design and CSS. Getting mockups from a designer who knows the technology you're working with is a major time-saver and I always appreciated it."
"Robin was fantastic to work with. His creative abilities and marketing skill cannot be matched. We worked on several projects that showcased the company's ability and expertise and grew the business by recruiting new clients. Robin expresses his ideas clearly and you can see his vision. He has integrity and is a seasoned creative professional."
"Robin is a highly talented designer and photographer that has the ability to bring a vision to life. Working directly with Robin, I have always been impressed by his work ethic and the way he can bring a team together on a project. He is not afraid to think outside of the box and will put in the time to make sure a project is done right and looks world-class.
Robin is dedicated to his work and is invested in improving his craft every chance he gets.
As a coworker, Robin is easy to work with. He brings a great dynamic to every team he is on and quickly becomes an integral part of the team because of his collaboration and interpersonal skills.
I would highly recommend Robin Haldane and believe that any company that gets the opportunity to work with Robin will be better for it."
"Robin is a fantastic, forward thinking designer who always puts out his best work and was always around to teach me a thing or two when I was a junior designer. He's a valuable asset on any team.""
"Robin is a great communicator and has the ability to understand design needs without entirely clear direction. He is a team player that works well on his own or in a group collaborative environment.""
