Dave is a phenomenal design leader, and the best manager in my career. He has held me accountable, pushed my craft and helped me grow in countless ways. I’ve left Pollen as a more senior, experienced, and rounded designer, and Dave has contributed significantly to my growth.

I was absolutely stoked to finally get the opportunity to work with Paul after having admired his work from afar for years. I wasn’t disappointed. Edward is a great manager, mentor and supporter. I’d work with him again without hesitation.
