He is masterful at guiding clients through the process of design--listening intently, asking clarifying questions and distilling the concept quickly are his strengths. Grant is willing to voice his opinion but knows when and how to do so. He has exceptionally high emotional intelligence, gets along well with other employees and while being exceptionally detail oriented, he can still see the larger vision of a project.”
