Becky Phillips, SVP Creative Director at H4B Chelsea
“Haley must have a magic wand tucked away somewhere, because everything she does is stunning, smart, and exactly what the creative challenge called for. And somehow, it all happens without breaking a sweat. But to just talk about Haley's beautiful eye for design and the ease of which she pulls it out of her hat would be an insult--she also is a generous teammate, a natural leader, and a NICE person--a true unicorn of creative directors. What a gift it is to get a chance to collaborate with HF!”
Kim Osgood, VP Group Account Director
“Haley is one of the most talented Art Directors I have ever worked with. Her dedication to doing great work is second to none and she is always willing to help out in any way she can. If I could have worked with Haley on every project I had, I would have. Haley not only takes the time to fully understand the details of the assignment but she also goes above and beyond to deliver not only solutions that the Client may be looking for but ones that could take the project to the next level. In addition to being talented, Haley is a lot of fun to be around and makes the craziness of the day a little lighter.”
Katy Hill, Production Advisor
“Haley is wonderful. I've never worked with a creative/art director who is more thorough and thoughtful, taking the time to artfully explain and articulate her point of view and creative vision, which is something I really appreciate as a producer and a human being.
Haley's been by my side through some challenging projects (demanding clients, strong personalities, stressful timelines). She doesn't wilt. She faces these obstacles with optimism and true Southern charm that puts me to shame.
Her creative mind knows no bounds, always challenging herself in new creative mediums & techniques (within the industry and far far beyond). Haley keeps sharp and has great instincts.
What must also be noted is Haley's sense of humor. Her quirkiness and appreciation for the little things in life make her one of the best, and an absolute asset to have on any team.
Ashley Abdelhafidh, VP Account Director
“Haley is an honest to good best partner in crime to work with. She is poised, polished and professional in heavy time constraint situations. She always looks to understand all points of view in order to solve the problem at hand and is incredibly flexible when there is a lot of client pressure. Her work is beautiful with an acute sense of detail and takes pride in everything she touches. A trusted ally and friend, I would happily recommend her for any creative role (art direction, design, or even copy) and if you don't hire her... why, you've made a grave mistake and would be missing out. I've love nothing more than to find ourselves working together again.”
Melissa Jean Ludwig, VP Creative Director at FCB Health
“No one is perfect, but Haley comes pretty darn close. I know this because we worked together on a high-octane beauty account for quite sometime. Not only can you depend on Haley going above and beyond to deliver but she does so with grace, and always manages to add her own unique *glitter*. In addition, Haley's creative mind is always at work, constantly tackling personal projects, and making art wherever and whenever possible. She's talented, reliable, and as I mentioned, a bit of a perfectionist—and IMO that's always the right fit.”
Alex Ikenberg, Strategic Marketer
“Haley is one of the most talented Art Directors I have ever had the privilege to work with. Her ability to work under pressure for demanding clients while still finding the optimal solutions for their creative goals is invaluable. Our integrated international campaign launch would have been virtually impossible without her wide range of skills and inherent positivity. It didn't take long for our clients to recognize her abilities and the value in her recommendations; the clients would often request, “Let’s set that meeting up when Haley is available to join as well.” Aside from being a gifted Art Director who keeps current on the latest design trends and technology, Haley is an amazing person who I selfishly hope to work with again.”
