“I can’t say enough positive things about my colleague Amira Martin. Amira is a talented designer, art director, and project manager who produces creative and innovative design solutions. She is always aware of her target audience and the user experience. Amira art-directs beautiful and elaborate product photoshoots. She elevates each story she touches by bringing it to life visually with clear and creative designs. Amira is focused, detail-oriented, and a quick learner who is able to manage multiple projects in the print and digital workspaces, while staying on deadline and within budget. Most importantly, Amira is always a pleasure to work and collaborate with. I highly recommend Amira Martin.”

“Amira is one of the most talented designers I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. She is constantly pushing the envelope and providing fresh approaches to a client's brand identity. Not once have I experienced Amira back down from even the toughest of asks. She takes time to research and understand the client's needs in order to tell a cohesive yet unique story across multiple platforms such a print, social, animation, and website design. Her technical skills and sharp eye for the smallest details shine through in not only her own work, but in the feedback, she provides to her peers. As a strategist, you are always looking for your creative counterparts to be able to understand your strategic vision and bring it to life just the way you envisioned it in your mind—even if you can't properly articulate it. Amira's ability to quickly take a chaotic vision and poorly hand-drawn schematics and turn them into something users are drawn to consume is something not to take for granted. The majority of the time we worked together, Amira would have just a few hours to turn projects around and she would still find a way to provide not one, but multiple versions of equally beautiful options to choose from. Over the two years, I worked with her, I was continuously impressed with her pointed questions, attention to detail, and immense dedication to improving her craft. As a bonus to her technical skills, I also always noticed the intentionality she put into ensuring diversity within her image selections, color choices, and art direction in every project.”

“I can always spot an Amira Martin design. It's always fresh and modern. The more you look, the more you notice smart details that underscore a message or reinforce the purpose of the image. That combination of skill and cleverness always makes me smile. One of my favorite projects that we worked on together was a 2020 back-to-school campaign. We asked Amira to design a logo that captured an authoritative but inspiring theme. We asked that the logo communicate a connection between educators and students. I don't know that we gave much guidance beyond that. And what Amira produced was perfect. It was clear that she listened. And that creative ability took over for her to produce one of the smartest logos I've ever seen. We worked together for a little more than a year, and it was clear that Amira is a hard worker, undeniably talented, and a joy to collaborate with.”
