“Dion was a wonderful person to work with at HCSATS. He was organized, responsible, and reliable. As a Web Graphic Specialist he was creative, and routinely presented new ideas for web design and flow improvements.”

“Dion White worked for me as a Broadcast Motion Graphics Designer at NorthWest Cable News in Seattle. Though his strengths showed through in Web design projects he was assigned, he was very quick to pick up the animation side of broadcast motion graphics. He’s designs were well produced with built in flexibility for change requests from myself and our clients. A dedicated employee, I could count on Dion to pull his weight and more. I’d recommend him as a former employer to anyone who asked.”
