Hello, my name is Ian Peterman. I'm here with Anthony Oliver talking about working together on a design project for the last— I think it's been about a year working on, on this project. And I just wanted to talk about your experience with working with us and what I've been able to help you develop and create. And, uh, yeah, tell me about that.
Yes, yes, yes. So, uh, we've been working on a very detailed project, um, for a little bit over a year now, and it's been a real rich experience working with Ian, uh, from the drafting to concepts, um, to actually, uh, some of the functionality behind the designs as well. The great thing about working with Ian is not only is he open to change, but he's good at following some of the directions that I need done. So I know if it doesn't work right, then we can come back and fix it later or, or in another revision. So I think he's a great guy in what I like to call like a give-and-go type situation. So, you know, so there's an idea that I have and I give it to him and I Allow him to go with it. And then, you know, I'll make my markups or whatever markups or name be needed, tell him what I like and what I think that me and him could possibly do better. And then I'll— and then we'll try it. And he's very responsive. It's not a person that you work with and then you gotta wait 3 to 6 weeks to hear back from him. You know, if there's a change I want to make, want to make in the middle of the design, then I'll give him a call, send him a text, or send him a new graphic or a new markup, and he's more than willing to get in there and fix it or make those changes for me, even if it's on the fly. So I like that. He always comes back with me with a good timeframe of the change and when it can be done, and especially on certain parts of the of the project. I have certain budgets to hit, and he's flexible with that as well. So, so it's all 3 thumbs up if I could give 3 thumbs up, and it has been real good working with him. Awesome.
So I guess what is the best thing, something that sticks out in your mind in working Working with me, I know you mentioned a few things that you really liked— speed and being able to hear your edits and actually get them done— but was there something that really jumped out, especially compared to other people you've worked with before?
Yes, yes. What I really like is the extra, what I like to call the oomph. So I know at times some of my diagrams and my drawings may not be as as crisp and as clear as they can, but when I throw them over the fence to you, you can clean them up, make them look real nice, and, and, uh, it actually brings that project to life for me.
Would you recommend me, and is there anything else you'd say about working with me?
Oh, oh yeah, definitely. I think, um, uh, you are more than a one, um, What do you call it? I guess you could say you have many, many tricks, and that's what I like the most. So when I think I need you for something and you may not know, or I think you may not be able to do a certain thing, then you have those people, you have those, those other connections that help. And, and me personally, I like being able to get a hold of you whenever I feel like I may need to. So that's awesome. And, um, and as far as, uh, you know, telling people about you, I already have. And, uh, just waiting on, just waiting on them to come through to get in touch with you. And, and, um, definitely, man, you are my A-list guy. So there's no complaints here. And, um, you know, if anybody has the opportunity to work with you, I think it would be a beautiful, uh, representation for not only you but for who your future customer may be. So I think it may be good.
Well, thank you very much, and I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. I know you have a pretty busy schedule. So yeah, thanks for, thanks for being here, and we look forward to working on the next project with you.
