Colleagues describe her as "I have worked in the same department as Gina for over a year now, and there has not been a single day she has walked into the office without her 100%. Gina is always prepared to go above and beyond not only in her work, but also for her colleagues. Gina carries a great sense of humor and infectious attitude that brightens any room of the office she enters. As humble as she is artistically talented, Gina's taste in design is absolutely stunning, though she accepts criticism and input from others with the most sincerely genuine and thoughtful consideration. I have worked alongside Gina as she has balanced several large design projects with hasty deadlines, all while maintaining her signature outstanding quality and attention to detail. Gina is a very special person and a terrific choice for an addition to any company." and "I worked with Gina almost every day for two-and-a-half years. When I first started working at Structural Graphics, she was one of the people who trained me. She always managed to take time to mentor me on the design processes and systems within the company. Her clarity and conciseness when communicating makes her an innate teacher and leader. She excels as a listener and team worker. Although I was the junior designer in the company when I first started, she made sure that my opinion was heard and came to me for advice on different projects, successfully integrating me as part of the creative team. The fact that Gina values others' opinion and their work speaks volumes of who she is as a design lead. On multiple occasions, when working on large projects, she asked for advice, and she took constructive criticism as well as she gave it. We often had design discussions that opened doors for learning and growth for both of us. Professionally, Gina is a graphic designer, but she really wore a lot of different hats at Structural Graphics. She worked on design, marketing, brand management, and even pre-press and quality control. As she took over these roles, I saw her handle all of them with more patience and steadfastness than I could imagine. Sometimes, it even seemed as if she had 3 times the amount of work that anybody else did! As we began to know each other better, she made sure to learn about me on a personal level. On my part, I found her to be an inclusive woman, with a great sense of humor. She has a knack for making people laugh and brightening-up the tough days. I think having a good sense of humor is indispensable in the work field, and taking things in stride is certainly one of her fortes. To this day, I admire these qualities about Gina that make her a humanist at heart. "
