"Pat Garvida has been an awesome co-worker. She has a lot of great concepts and very collaborative with our design team. She is a versatile artist that spans from graphics to illustrations and venturing on other multimedia as well such as web and video.

Pat has always been a goal seeker, she never rests on what's just there to learn but seeks more of what she can do more to improve her skillset. She has wide knowledge on design and leadership that is going to be very helpful in the creative community."

"Working with Pat was an absolute game-changer. Not only are they an incredibly talented illustrator with a sharp eye for detail, but they also know how to step back and guide with clarity and vision. As an art director, they balanced creative oversight with practical feedback, helping contractors produce work that consistently hit the mark. They were also able to uncover valuable content gaps that gave us a clearer direction and helped Canva prioritize what to build next. Pat combines creativity, leadership, and strategic thinking in a way that’s rare to find."
