Mya is a pleasure to work with. As Art Director at Totem, Mya has been very collaborative over the years as well as a great listener. Often times we've been faced with a design challenge... or three, and Mya has always been able to creatively solve things while keeping CAA Magazine on strategy.

Mya is a superstar. We worked closely together for nearly four years at Totem and she was the best teammate an editor/writer could ask for. She’s a hard-working and creative perfectionist with an incredible eye, impressive speed, and decisive, clear direction. She has great presentation and problem-solving skills, plus an awesome personality. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Working with Mya is a pleasure. She has a great eye for creative talent and an ability to make beautiful, unique layouts whether working on a shoestring budget or full fledged commercial productions. Her creative talents you can see for yourself in her portfolio; what I can tell you is that she backs up that creative talent with serious management and organizational chops. From creative concepting, through pre-production and right into pre-press, Mya keeps things moving, always on time and on budget. She can handle multiple projects and deadlines without skipping a beat. She's a major asset to any team she joins.

As an editor, it’s hard to explain why Mya’s such a solid designer without insulting other designers. She’s fast and detail-oriented. She doesn’t make a big thing out of things. She knows InDesign like we all wish we did. She’s always learning. She’s willing to jump into a design project that she’s never done before. She’ll take criticism without making it personal.

You know, she’s an effing professional, and that makes things easy on the rest of us.

GRAHAM VERDON

Love the Retirement Savings Workbook design and the ways Mya has stretched the brand. I believe that the workbook will set the stage for the next iteration of our Visual System guidelines. Mya's strong work has not only benefited the project, but Principal as a whole.

Mya approaches her role as Art Director with a mix of creativity and critical thinking. She’s flexible and able to problem-solve on the fly, which is crucial on challenging accounts within an Agency environment. She cares not only about the quality of her work, but also that it meets our Client’s business objectives.

Mya’s great work ethic and sense of humour make her a pleasure to work with. Whatever the project scope, Mya can be counted to come through on time with creative that exceeds expectations.

Mya is an amazing art director. She's creative, strategic and knows how to come up with the best treatment and design for every type of content. We worked closely together for many years and whether she was on location for a cover shoot, choosing the perfect font for a layout or mentoring junior staff, she was always doing so in a creative and professional manner. She is also incredibly organized and a great problem solver. Any organization would be lucky to have her on their team.
