Testimonials
Kaitlin Lewis
AmeriCorps peer
The thread that connects leadership, collaboration, and flexibility is a commitment to others and an ability to be truly present in any given situation. That’s Cal. Whether decorating a gym for an elementary school Christmas celebration, starting a grassroots effort to showcase youth art in community installations, or mediating debates among colleagues, Cal’s compassion for others and intense consideration of how an act will affect others, makes him an asset to any team.
Mateo Juan Barroetavena
Stay Gold Design colleague
As a team leader Cal inspired trust and collaboration throughout our projects, leveraging his expertise and understanding to create innovative solutions that added immense value to both the client and the work delivered. His transparency, honesty and empathy bleed into every meeting and checkpoint, letting people in his team know that they can count on him 100%. Collaboration and versatility are a major part of his DNA, being able to occupy any and all roles at any given time, with a will to help find the best in everything we did.
Caleb Hammel
Sr. Product Designer, Hertz
In several instances working with Cal, he learned a new skill because no-one on the team knew how to accomplish what we needed. While working with a client who wanted graphic motion in their UI, Cal seemed to empress the opportunity to learn a new tool to in order to get the team where it needed to be. Whether it is a UX/UI problem, learning how to laser cut a lamp, or create a bike trailer so his daughter can join for rides; Cal is persistent in learning new tools to solve problems.
