“I had the pleasure of working with Ross on several occasions. He takes a professional
approach to his work that is reflected in the quality of creative and the attention to detail.
In my projects, Ross consistently rose to the creative challenge and was a key member of
the team in successfully delivering to brief. Don't be fooled by his macho exterior - he
delivers breathtakingly feminine design when the brand calls for it!”

Anna Chapman , Head of Project Management

 
“Ross Elliott is a hugely talented art director. He stays up to date with all the latest
technology and understands concepts really well too. He also has a great eye. He added a
massive amount to every single project he worked on with me. I have no hesitation in
recommending him. If you want work that has that extra something that genuine talent
offers, he's your man.” 

Alan Curson, Cannes Grand Prix winner & creative contractor

 
“Working with Ross was an inpsiration. I have rarely had the pleasure of working with
such a conscientious and hard grafting talent. He always made insightful and valid
contributions to discussions and kick off meetings and his work was always first rate. I will
definitely work with Ross again and take great pleasure in recommending Ross to others.”

Neil Keating , Senior Project Manager
