“I have had the pleasure of working with Rick Schettino for the last year and a half, both at J. Brown/LMC Group in Stamford, CT and at Colangelo Synergy Marketing in Darien, CT. Rick has proven himself to be a great asset to me and the company as a whole as an art director and high end production artist. He “gets it” quickly without a lot of explanation and hand holding. He’s a problem solver and often comes up with more creative and efficient ways to approach a given task, and he often completes tasks well ahead of the expected schedule. His low key personality and “can do” attitude work well in this high stress, demanding business. Rick fits in, and is well liked by everyone that comes in contact with him. I can say without reservation that Rick will be an asset wherever he goes and should be snapped up immediately!” — Marc Phelan, Associate Creative Director, Colangelo Synergy Marketing

Given all the above, it’s easy to recommend Rick with the utmost confidence that you will be satisfied with his services.” — Michael J. Iulo

“It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Rick Shcettino. I have worked with Rick since 1990. From 1990 to 1993 I assisted Rick with the production of Performer Magazine. Rick was the designer and editor for several years. In 1993 I became a recruiter in the computer graphics industry and had the opportunity to place Rick on several design and production assignments. The feedback I received ranged from “excellent” to “fast as lightening.” He can figure out problems by himself, requires little supervision, and is fun to be around. He has been able to quickly pick up on new software programs on all platforms whenever necessary. I highly recommend Rick for any design or production management position”. — David A. Penn, Division Director, Advance Creative and Technical Communications Staffing

His ability in the field of computer graphics and design is one of the best I’ve seen. He is extremely creative and has an innate sense of the job at hand, so much so that quite often he has taken ownership of the job and followed it through to the end. His suggestions have almost always been incorporated into the projects he works on. Rick works well with all of the people involved in the process. From account services to the creative team to senior management, Rick is always pleasant, attentive, and very willing to do what is necessary to get the job done.
