Recommendations from previous employers
“I had the pleasure of working with Patrick as a contract learning experience designer on a complete update of online training modules, which included updates to a number of training videos and Articulate Rise-based content. Patrick was an invaluable asset to our team and brought a wealth of expertise in working with SMEs, translating complex technical concepts, and designing and developing training videos to create engaging and effective learning experiences.
Patrick took his work seriously and really dove in to learn what we were trying to accomplish with each module. He was resourceful in building his own knowledge on the topics, while respectfully and efficiently engaging with SMEs to ensure accuracy of his work. His skills translated to developing engaging training videos, and he was a quick study of our preferred tools and processes. His eye for detail meant I could trust the accuracy of content, and he was able to create his own clarity to meet expectations with little direction.
Patrick brought his whole self to work, and truly embraced our values to engage with our team and work. He was professional, engaged, and truly a good person to work with. He was eager to learn, embraced feedback and applied it quickly, and brought creativity and skill to his deliverables while working within constraints and deadlines.
I highly recommend Patrick for any project that involves online training creation or video production. He is a true professional who is passionate about storytelling and making concepts accessible and approachable. I have no doubt that Patrick would be an asset to any team or organization.”

I had the opportunity to work with Patrick Brady in my role as Creative Director for the Creative Services team in Optum. As a graphic designer for our group, Patrick demonstrated great talent, versatility, and a truly admirable work ethic.
Often, Patrick proactively brought forward ideas for new technologies, techniques, or processes that could streamline our operation. He was well-regarded by the rest of the organization and performed well as a team player—a crucial element of any creative collective.
As a designer, Patrick created clean, clear visual communications for us that were always on-message and reflective of the creative brief provided. He is detail-oriented, which resulted in fewer rounds of revisions on projects—of utmost importance in our deadline-driven environment.
In short, were I in the position to extend Patrick’s contract or, better yet, offer him permanent employment at Optum, I would certainly have leapt at the chance. I would unreservedly advise anyone in that position to do the same.

Patrick Brady has been a great addition to our creative team at Optum. His vast software knowledge allows him to create stunning visuals and presentations for internal and external clients. Patrick has the proven ability to work quickly and efficiently on numerous projects– creating captivating work and meeting tight deadlines.
Patrick excels at maintaining good working relationships with our clients. He takes care of their demands, without sacrificing good design and the quality of the final product. I have received numerous accolades from our internal clients after he completed their projects.
He also is a self-starter who seeks out opportunities to go beyond what is asked of him and anticipates needs before they arise. An example of this is an icon library that he built to coincide with our upcoming brand change without being asked by any member of our team.
Patrick has been nothing short of an exemplary employee and I highly recommend his work.
