I have worked with Eddie on a couple of projects and am hoping to work with him again soon as he is a cool dude who generates great work! He has never let me down. Do I recommend him? HELL YES!" — Tobin Russell, worked directly with Eduardo at High Impact Games, LLC "Eddie is a real asset to the High Impact Team. He is an immensely skilled artist with the technical know how to get things done. His Adobe Illustrator and Flash skills are impressive, not to mention his hand drawn skills. Eddie is excellent at self-management, completing his work with little to no oversight. It is a real pleasure to have him on the HIG team." — David Goodrich, worked directly with Eduardo at High Impact Games, LLC "Eddie is a very talented graphic artist and a hard worker. Any art works he creates are well thought-out, practical and visually amazing. I’ve had an opportunity to work with him as his supervisor for three years and I can always count on him to finish assigned tasks beautifully on time. He has excellent judgment, communicates well with others and is always willing to put extra efforts to create art works of higher quality. I am looking forward to working with him again in future if another opportunity arises. I am confident that any studio he works, he will devote himself to creating great works and contribute to the success of the organization." — Atsuko Kubota, managed Eduardo at High Impact Games, LLC "Working with Eduardo was a pleasure. He is very organized and proactive in anticipating project needs, cares about the product, is very open to feedback and direction while putting his own stamp of ideas on it all and giving his own very relevant feedback. On top of that a great guy! This is the kind of collaborative dynamic that for some reason seems often hard to find in this industry that I wish to see more often. I would definitively work with him again if given the chance and I am sure he would be a great asset wherever he goes." — Ricardo Hernandez, worked directly with Eduardo at High Impact Games, LLC "Eduardo, or 'Eddie' as I like to call him, is a very dependable and hugely talented artist, graphic designer and draftsman. He approaches everything he does with incredible passion and efficiency. He is easily one of the most methodical and well organized people I've worked with. A real self-starter who always takes things in his stride even when things heat up. He is also quite the expert with Flash which proved to be fantastic for HUD and menu motion graphic design. He came up with some brilliant creative solutions for our project's menus and added surprising touches of polish to make them shine. He always pushes his work that little bit further to make it go from 'good' to 'great'." — Lloyd Murphy, managed Eduardo at High Impact Games, LLC References Upon Request .
