"I helped in interviewing Edgar for a position at SapientRazorfish and instantly was drawn by his energy, personality and the skill set that clearly came through in his portfolio. I was excited when he accepted the position but even more excited when I was fortunate enough to get to work with and mentor him. If there was ever a challenge or new tool that needed to be learned Edgar would be the first one to not only dive into it but become proficient in it. Even after parting ways from SapientRazorfish we have stayed close and I am excited to see him grow and hope that one day our professional paths will cross again. I know great things will come from this -one!"

"Edgar is an amazing UX designer, and he has been a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him as he worked well in all capacities during our engagement with a luxury real estate client. He has a curious mind and thrives as a multitasker – balancing decks, annotations, and wires with quick turnaround time. Edgar is a great presenter and embraces taking the lead on designing experiences for mobile apps, websites, and creative concepting for new components.
His talent & hard work has led to success not only at Sapient but also on his personal projects as well, as shown by his design award nominations. A goal-oriented designer, Edgar is very communicative with the team and excels at meeting tight deadlines. I have seen him grow at Sapient, and he confidently tackles obstacles head-on and is always thirsty for new challenges. It is important to note that Edgar has a charismatic personality and a wonderful addition to company culture. I am fortunate to have worked with him..."
