What some clients and colleagues have had to say about me and my work.

He is without question one of the finest professional colleagues I have collaborated with. His unique blend of classic strategic thinking and creative problem solving delivers both business and brand value on every engagement.

“Shawn is a talented designer who can also step back and see the big picture — and then design the strategy needed to get there. He deeply cares about the brands he works with — and cares that they get it right, not just look like it. It was a pleasure working with Shawn at KP — he is a star!”

– Deborah Cantu, Consultant at Brandstream Partners

“Shawn Stewart is a class act. I am lucky to call him my colleague and honored to recommend him.

Shawn’s pleasant nature and calm attitude has made working with him a real pleasure and his world view and professional experience has given our team a stronger point of view. What’s more, Shawn’s ability to think strategically and communicate persuasively, coupled with his deft political skills, has made him a top performer on our brand strategy team.”

“Shawn helped us with much needed marketing expertise. We are a small technology consulting firm that knows a lot about our core business and fairly little about marketing. Shawn interviewed many of our customers – always being mindful of the value of their time. He scoured into our market niche digging up current and emerging trends. He gave us “non-geek” language to use and describe our services when talking with potential customers. Most of all, however, he used his incredible expertise to put all this information together into a cohesive marketing strategy for our business that my entire team could understand. The experience we had with Shawn left us empowered, excited and very satisfied. After six months of integrating Shawn’s core strategy we had completely recouped the money we spent engaging his services.”

– Mark Shipman, owner at Clear IT
