Word on the Street
I worked very closely with Michael when when both worked at Regent Sports Corp. I depended heavily on Michael and his Creative Team. We worked together when developing product designs, packaging designs and presentation pieces for the Walmart business. Mike and his Creative Team made my presentations very professional and it was definitely noticed by the buying team at Walmart.
MIchael was a valued asset to our company during his tenure. He is very professional, hard working and also very knowledgeable within all areas of his job. He is a very effective manager of people, extremely organized and he can work independently and is able to effectively multi-task to ensure
that all projects are completed in a
timely manner.
Michael performed all his tasks competently and with commitment and enthusiasm. He has demonstrated the ability to work under pressure and to plan and organize successfully to meet tight deadlines. His close attention to detail has resulted in meticulous and accurate work. His strong interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop good working relationships with both his colleagues and management. In addition to his Creative duties, Michael always kept his department budget on plan or under the yearly foretasted amount.
I had the privilege of working five years with Michael Duarte at Regent Sports in Hauppauge, New York. At the time I was hired, I was a new to the graphic design field, but under Michael’s direction was able to grow as a designer. Michael encouraged his entire design team not only to learn,
but to participate in all aspects of the
design process, from photo shoots to
press production.
Michael has been a client and co-worker for almost 25 years. Hiscreativity and design abilities are outstanding. He has a goodunderstanding of photography and is a great asset in directingphoto shoots.Working with Michael is always a professionalpleasure.I would consider him a great asset to any firm.
I've had the privilege of working with Michael for over 20 years at Regent Sports. Michael has always demonstrated great creative and technical ability in his packaging design and catalog development. As the Marketing Director at Regent Sports I knew I could count on Michael to oversee the Creative Dept. and manage its day to day operations in a professional and efficient manner. He proved time and time again his dedication to getting the job done on a timely basis and doing whatever was necessary. I would highly recommend Michael for any company looking to hire a creative packaging expert.
