“Johnny Ace is easily among the most exceptional Design Directors I have encountered since my entry into the field. In addition to his tremendous knowledge of craft, he is an exceptional manager of talent and circumstances. He is a problem-solver and a radar-detector for the concealed dangers and hidden opportunities which wait below the surface of a project, the very kind which can make or break them.
Personally, I would describe Johnny as a buoyant realist – someone who understands the lay of the land in a real sense, but finding means at every pass to elevate the status quo. In addition to this, he is forever a generous and understanding colleague and creative partner.
He is an example to all he works with. I recommend him unreservedly.”
