“It is not often that you have the opportunity to report to a manager that allows you to push the boundaries of processes and internal principles to achieve your goals creativity—but I did when I worked with Damon. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Damon for two years at Emerge Interactive, collaborating on several project teams with companies such as The Home Depot, Nike, adidas, and Splunk, to name a few. I was particularly impressed by Damon’s ability to handle even the toughest clients—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among customer service professionals, but it seemed to come naturally to him. Damon’s ability to keep the internal team focused and driven through the toughest moments of a project was another great skill of his. Lastly Damon is a great human that is empathetic and enjoys making people laugh and have a great day in or outside of the office. As a team member or a leader, Damon earns my highest recommendation.”

“The term, "multi-talented" doesn't begin to scratch the surface when it comes to Damon Gaumont. Damon is a top-tier designer, user experience expert, writer, editor, presenter of work, —gifted in all areas of the creative process. He has a fierce commitment to the integrity and quality of every project he touches, as well as a drive to continually raise the bar. Damon is one of the most innately creative collaborators I've ever worked with. He shows the same level of enthusiasm for the ideas of his teammates as he does for his own. He works tirelessly to make the magic happen and as a natural leader inspires others to do the same.”

“Damon is one of the most dedicated and dependable team members I have worked with. He always gives 110 percent, delivering more than what is asked of him. He's a strategic creative thinker with impressive design chops and technical savvy that makes him a great fit for many diverse situations. He's a great collaborator, and always brings a positive attitude to the mix. He's wicked-fast, but also can dive deep. He is universally liked and respected inside the agency and with its clients. He's not just a resource, but a true asset. When working with him, I always knew that if Damon was on a job, it would be a job well done.”

“The first time I worked with Damon, five years ago, he was a designer. There were no art directors available to concept with me on a TV spot, so he filled in. I thought I might have to carry him; it turned out to be quite the opposite. He was a fountain of fresh, on-strategy ideas; I could hardly keep up with him. Then I figured I'd have to take over when it came time to vet and refine our ideas; again he blew me away. He was able to triage like a surgeon. And finally, of course, his execution was impeccable. When he was deservedly promoted to Art Director, I had the same experience over and over again. What amazes me the most about him is that he brings the same high standards, energy, thought, and passion to every job, all at the same time. At any given moment, he's likely to be designing animated graphics, concepting a TV spot, thinking where we could evolve a campaign for next year, working on his personal and technical skills, uncovering inspiration from all kinds of sources, and considering how he can help his co-workers and clients. Where some of us might cut corners to meet a ridiculous deadline, Damon gets it done with perfect taste and with every detail in place. Every time. If he weren't such a lovely human being, I would call him a machine.”

“Damon is a fantastic designer. And an amazing creative with impressive ideas. But, his biggest asset is his desire to do top-notch work and his drive to create the perfect solution for each project. He does not stop until he discovers a solution that meets his own impressive standards. I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Damon for years and I've never ceased to be impressed. I can't recommend Damon highly enough and truly look forward to working with him again as soon as possible.”
