TESTIMONIALS
"It is my pleasure to write this reference letter for Jeanne Otto. As a project coordinator, I have teamed
with Jeanne in the Thomson Reuters Creative Services department for over 15 years. I can honestly say my
respect and admiration for her has done nothing but grown with each passing day. Jeanne is a gifted artist with
exceptional talent. Her imagination yields new and favorable ideas time and time again. Years of hard work and
dedication have earned her a reputation as one of the best designers in the department. In addition to her
creative attributes, Jeanne possesses superior interpersonal skills. She is cooperative, dependable, and able to
handle conflict. Her ability to communicate effectively makes working with her extremely easy. I know that she
will deliver a top quality product that’s within scope and on time. She’s never let me down."
Mary J. Roerick Account Coordinator Thomson Reuters
"I have known Jeanne Otto for 15 years. I have had the distinct pleasure of working alongside her in the
Marketing, Creative Services department at Thomson Reuters during that entire time. It’s been one of the nicest
experiences of my professional life.
My current title is Team Lead, Copy Editors. However, I continue to do copy editing on a daily basis. This entails
looking over all the artwork that our design artists do to ensure complete accuracy. I am responsible for the
written content of our advertising pieces as well as making sure that the design artist hasn’t dropped any copy or
made a stylistic mistake with their designs. Needless to say, Jeanne measures up to the high standards demanded
not only of the copy editors but also of her role as a graphic designer.
I am most impressed with Jeanne’s creativity, versatility and beautiful design work. I’ve been lucky to see all of
J eanne’s artwork over the years and it constantly amazes me just how talented she is. Her projects have included
brochures, catalogs, direct response pieces, classic packages, and just about anything else you can imagine in the
field of advertising. In years past, our company holiday cards were also designed by Jeanne. A real coup for her.
She has been selected to do promotional pieces for nonprofit organizations on behalf of Thomson Reuters . We
employ close to 20 design artists and yet it was Jeanne who was continuously chosen to do some of the highest
visibility projects in the company. A true testament to her talent.
Jeanne has a solid reputation with her clients. They view her as someone who is not only highly skilled but easy
to work with. They appreciate her ability to conceptualize and design whatever project she’s given and are always
pleased with the results. Jeanne has made a lot of clients happy over the years."
Val Carraher Team Lead, Copy Editors Marketing, Creative Services Thomson Reuters
" I had the great pleasure of working with Jeanne Otto on our annual report for five years. Jeanne was responsible
for the entire theme, layout and design, photo options, and feel of the piece. Her creativity is phenomenal and
her work is outstanding. She was extremely easy to work with and deadlines were never an issue. Many times I
would come to the meeting with an idea and it was as if she had read my mind. Every option that she presented
to us for the annual design theme was fantastic. She made it very hard to choose a cover."
