Shameika Ejiasi, MS

Digital Marketer, Photographer 

Worked with John on the same team at Health Partners Plans, as well as collaborated on freelance projects

If I could describe John as anything, it would be two things. First, a really stand-up gentleman, and second, an intricate and skilled graphic designer. He puts a great amount of effort, thought and creativity into every project that we've worked on together without ever compromising quality. John listens to my asks when it comes to project briefs and provides a sense of clarity and creativity to the final piece that hits my initial thought out of the park every single time.

There's a slew of great designers out there, but none with John's charisma and sense of artistry. I would choose him every single time.

 
 
 

 
 
 

Robert Formica

Senior Copywriter at Enclara Pharmacia

Rob managed John directly at Health Partners Plans

John joined us as a temp and I fought very hard to bring him on full time for several reasons. He is not only an immensely talented designer, he makes it look easy. He's also easy to work with. It's rare for someone with his level of creativity and talent to be so free of ego. He's always willing to pitch in and is a steadying force on the team, even in high stress situations.

John can take any idea, however vague, and turn it into a concept or illustration that somehow both pushes boundaries and remains on-brand. I can't recommend him enough.

 
 
 

 
 
 

Rosemary Sutkowski, MS

Manager, Medicare Communications

Worked with John on the same team at Health Partners Plans

John and I have successfully partnered together on broker-related projects in Communications and Marketing. We worked on the broker sales rep cards and other broker materials throughout the year. John is a creative designer who goes the extra mile to get the job done. He recently designed a fresh and new look for the sales rep cards for the 2020 Medicare Advantage plan year. He also designed the eye catching HPP van wrap. He was extremely patient, flexible and enthusiastic as we experimented with different concepts.

I’ve had a positive experience in collaborating with John and his designs are top notch. He would be an asset to any design team.

 
 
 

 
 
 

Tiara Woodlyn, MS

Marketing Communications Creative 

Worked with John on the same team at Health Partners Plans, as well as collaborated on freelance projects

Working with John at HPP was such a pleasure. Myself and our clients always personally requested to work with him on every project because of his calm demeanor, team-player spirit and creativity. John is very easy to work with and always gets the job done effectively and efficiently, whether the deadline for a project was months a away (low priority) or minutes away (high priority). John’s eye for creativity is uncanny! He made ideas and copy come to life by just hearing explanations or seeing little drawings/mockups and was always willing to teach others tips and tricks for Adobe.

John’s not only great at graphic design, he's also amazing with giving copy suggestions that always made deliverables look so much better and his photography and illustration skills are awesome! I highly recommend John for any position and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. John Maldonado for several years at CMP Advertising, a full-service agency. While there Mr. Maldonado produced amazing work for several of our clients, including Preferred Care Partners and Weston Nissan/Volvo. Our clients were always impressed with his creative thinking and the designs behind each project.

He also worked well under pressure, and delivered quality work in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mr. John Maldonado for employment.

 
 
 

 
 
 

Maria V. Guevara

Advertising & Marketing Specialist

Worked with John at CMP Advertising, as well as collaborated on freelance projects

John is a very talented and experienced Graphic Designer. His skills go beyond the books and implement the different techniques and methods that only someone with experience and dedication to the craft can show. I believe that John will be a great, if not the greatest, asset to your team. 

He is a great employee, punctual, responsible, fast-learner and doesn’t need thorough direction to complete a job. His design methods go from the standard creative executions to out-of-the-box, forward thinking. He presents his ideas in a collaborative and brainstorming style that allows team members to participate in discussions and reach a 5-star overall creative execution. From project inception to the moment it is presented to superiors or directly to clients, John exudes professionalism, knowledge of Graphic Design and leadership in taking his team of creative minds to the next level on any task assigned. 

You will find in John a doer, an always evolving professional that strives for excellence and goes beyond the common creative idea to innovate and provide clients a 200% satisfaction guaranteed.

John is one of the most creative designers out in the market today. He produces quality designs that are dazzling at the very least. His skills in graphic layout and illustration are more than superior.
