Or: What People I've Worked With And For Say About Me, Of Their Own Free Will
“Devin is a sensational talent—he has a way with words (ask him to write you a tagline or five), a great sense of humor (possibly the only person who could make a bar graph about taxes funny), and a willingness to go back to the drawing board again and again to get it just right (but he usually doesn't have to because mostly his words are perfect right out the gate).
All these things are true. But the thing that has always impressed me most about Devin is his innate facility with leadership. It's a rare thing for raw creative ability to be combined with empathy, clarity, and sooooo much goodwill.
If you think exceptional quality is the only thing that matters, then Devin's your guy. But if you think exceptional quality only matters when combined with exceptional humanity, then Devin is really your guy.”
— Laura Wasson, former manager & Group Creative Director @ Madwell, 2021-2024
“Devin is one of those rare creatives who just gets it—he knows how to push boundaries while respecting the brand, always finding that sweet spot between bold ideas and what’s right for the client. He’s thoughtful, collaborative, and knows when to fight for an idea and when to adapt, making the whole process feel effortless. On top of that, he’s just a joy to work with—always bringing positive energy, a great attitude, and a real passion for the work. I’d trust him on any project, knowing he’ll bring both heart and sharp creative instincts.”
— Gabriela Holdt, former Social Media & Editorial Lead @ Verizon, 2020-2022
“Devin is a thoughtful leader who cares not only about quality creative, but the well-being of his team. He leads with sincerity and enthusiasm that keeps everyone motivated. He pushes his teams to think strategically and approaches feedback with an open mind. And you can always count on him for a laugh when you’re in the thick of the work.”
— BriElle Munizzi, Senior Designer @ Madwell, 2022-2024
“Devin is one of the unicorn creatives that can fully balance strategic discipline and a sense of order with the festive chaos of the hunt for The Big Idea. His energy is catching in the best way in that he makes everything seem possible. But he doesn’t stop at ‘possible’: he chases things to fruition with disciplined followthrough—the difference between ‘what if we’ and ‘we just did that.’
Devin’s hallmark as a leader is an effortless balance of keeping things light and getting things done. His energy is catching in the best way: he makes everything seem possible. He backs that up with steely strategic discipline and an eye for the business impact of his teams’ creative. In the festive chaos of the search for the big idea, he’s a leader you want on your team.”
— Laura Etheredge, VP Creative @ Madwell & manager, 2017-2021
