I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kareem Harrigan during his time at GHD as a Senior Designer on the Pursuit Team. I am a Senior Proposal Specialist on the team. I’ve come to know Kareem as a truly valuable asset to our team. He’s a conscientious, professional, and talented graphic designer. Kareem has been responsible for creating graphics for client proposals, marketing collateral, and project-related assignments. He’s exceptional at creating well-conceived graphic designs with little guidance and specifications. There have been many assignments that required quick turnarounds, Kareem took on those assignments and created graphics, as well as designed proposals and other marketing collateral.
Along with his undeniable talent, Kareem has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player, and always fosters positive motivation, and brings the best out of those he works with.

“Kareem Harrigan is professional, talented, and provides excellent customer service. If you are a small company looking for a clean professional web presence and you want a one stop shop to help you build the site you want, He is the person to work with. He stepped in and listened to my partner and I who had different views of what the site should be. He blended our ideas and built a wonderful site that we both love. Kareem helped with layout, graphic design, content, images, everything from top to bottom. The finished product very clean, and engaging. Now for the best part, instead of a 4 month wait that a larger agency quoted us, Kareem Harrigan quoted us 2-3 weeks to get the site up. The site was up and running in under two weeks. Something all other competitors told me was impossible. Kareem is the designer to go to if you are a small business on a budget and need big business support. I cannot recommend someone more strongly.”

He created a business portfolio for me, including a design package, helping me to brand myself in the marketing industry. I was very impressed by his creativity and attention to detail. As a designer he is very passionate about his work, easy to communicate with, and incredibly organized. I will continue to work with him on future projects for all ofmy design needs.”
