TESTIMONIALS

Andrea Lopez-Cruzado Fact Checker/NTR’s Radio Ambulante

I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Jensy for several years at the Wall Street Journal Americas. I was an editor for both the print and online Journal’s Latin American edition and Jensy a graphic designer. Jensy always showed high respect for his work, always upholding the highest quality and ethics standards required in a world-class publication as the Journal. He is also very responsible, always showing up on time for work and willing to stay late when necessary. Additionally, he is a great coworker, always offering a hand to colleagues while taking care of his own responsibilities, and he has a great sense of humor. Any organization would benefit from having Jensy as part of their team.

Wilson Lievano Digital Editor/The GroundTruth Project

I had the privilege of working with Jensy Florian as an indirect supervisor for eight years and I can attest to his capabilities as Art Director and Graphic Designer. Jensy has a masterful command of composition, color, illustration and pagination for publications of all kinds. He always distinguished himself for his work ethic and responsibility. His work was always delivered ahead of time and with no mistakes. Whenever a problem presented itself, Jensy was in hand to provide solutions and resourceful workarounds. In addition to his qualifications, Jensy is a kind and gentle person that contributes to the work environment with his good mood and positive attitude. I highly recommend him and I’m sure that he will be a great addition to any team.

Eugenio Solís de Ovando Instructor/ PACE University

As an Instructor at Pace University continued education programs in Graphic Design and Web Design, Jensy demonstrated great attention to my class and details on his assignments, getting great results. In addition, Jensy is a very nice guy and he has a good relationship with his classmates.

SERVICES

Graphic Design

Every brand has its mark. From web design to logos and prints. Not only creative but attentive to every detail. Whether you already have a logo or are looking to create one I help define, create and recreate that mark for you.

Web Design

I work one on one with clients, from ideas to executed concepts, sorting through the details of the design process to ensure that the final product is representative of each client’s brand.
