Those I've Worked With

You shouldn't take my word for it (I'm a terrible self promoter). Here's what others have said about working with me.

Humble, creative, innovative are only a few words that describe Josh. He’s an amazing artist and will do great work for your brand. Highly recommend him!

Steven Payne

Product Manager / Product Owner

Josh is a beast. I'd seen his work for years, and always thought it was excellent. Eventually, I had a chance to hire Joshua and his company Number 29 for some design and branding services, and the result was nothing short of amazing. Absolutely work with this guy.

Alex Novosad

Founder/CEO Bizarre Games

Josh consistently thinks outside of the box, embracing both traditional and cutting-edge technologies. He has a talent for staying in touch with the most advanced web technologies. I have seen great work from Josh in print, in three-dimensions, and on the web - from programming to graphics and video.
