Veronica worked for me in various capacities from executive assistant to art director to industrial designer. In every capacity she brought a huge level of creativity and positive energy to each project. She was undoubtedly one of our secret weapons at CP+B.

"To whoever liked people with mad skills:
When someone like Veronica asked me to write a reco on her behalf it makes me so happy and proud. She gave so much to me and Mullen in her time there it's the least I could do. Veronica was one of Mullen's misfits. A lovable term we use to those who have so many talents. It's best not to try to box them in. But we did try.

As an art director
At every turn she crushed whatever I threw at her. Always with her own pov and unique craft. There are too many clients and specifics for me to get into while I text with a coffee in hand. But I can just say I would hire her back in a minute. She has the highest recommendation from me as a raw, good, and talented human.

Tom Lyons
EVP Director of Creative, Mekanism
"Veronica is not only one of the most talented designers I have been able to work with, but a true leader. She lead our team of designers in New York with thoughtful direction and endless inspiration. Simply put, Veronica knows her stuff. There was never a time in the process (from initial concepting through final production) that she didn’t shine. I was always 100% confident she had everything under control. I was sad when she moved on, but look forward to being able to work with her again at some point in the future."

Owner, Cerebral Gangster, Inc.
"I've known Veronica for 155 years, starting clear back at CPB in 1841. I've never seen her upset, I've never seen her not smiling, and I've only once seen her drunk and that was at the 2005 Christmas party and entirely understandable, as we were all celebrating world domination at that time. I defy any agency to give her a project she can't take to the awards shows or a client she can't win over. She was a secret weapon right up until Alex wrote "she's a secret weapon" in his review. So now she's a non-secret secret weapon. So be careful. She's not to be trifled with."

"
I've worked with Veronica both in the office at CPB and out of the office, on a personal project. She approached both of these things with the same amount of passion, craft, expertise and love. There was absolutely no financial component to the personal project, she did it only to help. Having boundlessly positive and clever people like Veronica in your office can only be a good thing."




Neil Riddell
EVP / Executive Director, Product & Brand Invention at Crispin, Porter + Bogusky
"
Veronica is amazing. Her talents span a broad spectrum from product design and spatial design to costume design and graphic design. 

Over the years I've seen her pull off miracles making every kind of prototype imaginable from any kind of material imaginable. I'm not kidding. She is a problem solver extraordinaire. 

She's passionate, thoughtful, driven and diligent. She understands branding at a high level and is very conceptual in her thinking. Most important of all, she is a true team player and collaborator, always sharing, always giving, always making everyone around her better."

Andrew Hayward Smith

Director of Account Services at LGD Communications
"
Veronica is sincerely a joy to work with. She carries a permanent smile, a spirit of humility, and a 'can-do' attitude to everything that crosses her path. CP+B is a demanding environment, it takes a very special kind of person to survive and fit in, it takes a person built for teamwork, a creative mind, a joy of life and work and creation, someone calm under pressure, who smiles at all times, it takes a joie de vivre for the environment we work in and the world around us that we help create. Veronica has all of these attributes. I consider it an honor to have worked alongside her. I will always wish her success and enjoy hearing of her certain continued triumphs."

Steve Capstick



Freelance DP/Director
"Not sure how to write a recommendation for someone like Veronica. Basically she can make stuff...amazingly great stuff that requires design, and cutting and sewing and gluing and imagination galore. She can use the computer and then she can physically make the thing on the screen...all by herself. But she's more than that because she makes me feel really confident in anything we're getting ready to do together. A ONE-WOMAN, PROP-MAKING, DESIGNER ARMY."




Idalia Deshon
VP/Executive Producer at Crispin Porter + Bogusky

"During Veronica's time at CP+B, I worked with her on a number of projects. She is one of the most creative, crafty and dependable people I've ever worked with. 

No matter what budget Veronica had, she always delivered above expectations. She was able to translate a creative's vision for a prop or costume into something more amazing than what they had imagined in the first place. The love and talent Veronica puts into her work is truly inspiring but best of all, she's fun to work with."
