After Hector was brought on as my replacement at Canadian Mattress Recycling, I contracted out a design project to Hector that was related to my marketing consultancy because he was a great fit for the task. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Hector and appreciate his creativity as he went above and beyond to produce great illustrations...
