“Maurice does great work. His focus, intelligence, and vision create bottom line results that clients and customers seek. Any task or project is diligently assessed, planned, executed and monitored until completion. His extraordinary verbal and communication skills mixed with his very strong technical background makes Maurice a must have on the most arduous projects. I look forward to future projects with Maurice!”

Jon Birdsong, Partner at Atlanta Ventures

“Maurice is a classic digital thinker -- a combination of Web experience and savvy, business acumen, and strong ethical beliefs. He's a forward-thinking expert who, regardless of road blocks that may pop up, stops at nothing in the drive towards his goals. Maurice is an asset to any organization.”

Husani Oakley, Global Director of Creative Practices, Netflix

“Maurice has done something incredible, made even more so by the fact that no other design association or body has been able to pull it off. He has single-handedly brought more designers of color to the public’s attention than perhaps any other platform. He is giving testimony to the power one person can have.”

Julie Anixter, VP Enterprise Design Principal, Throughline, Inc.; former executive director of AIGA, 2016-2018

“I've been a longtime fan of Maurice as a visionary in the design community. His trailblazing podcast continues to serve as a brilliant light, and as an important trail for others to find. Trailblazers can easily get burnt out from burning so brightly in the beginning, but Maurice has always stood strong, shown up with consistency, and exemplified bravery. I strongly believe that Maurice is an unstoppable force that will continue doing interesting and important things for design -- that will inspire and deepen our understanding of the human condition.”

John Maeda, VP of Artificial Intelligence and Design, Microsoft

Overall, Maurice Cherry brings a nuanced perspective that allows him to leverage technology to speed content delivery without losing the human intelligence necessary to stand out from AI slop. His breadth and depth of experience, thoughtful approach, and ability to build trust make him a pleasure to work with. I am confident he will continue to excel and bring value to future content leadership positions.

Erin Sevitz, VP, Content & Customer Marketing, Eptura

“Maurice Cherry was my manager and colleague at Glitch. Maurice brought a visionary approach to marketing, revenue, editorial, and growth. [He} is a talented mentor and leader and would make a wonderful addition to any great digitally-savvy company.”

Margarita Noriega, Managing Editor, Morning Brew

“Maurice is an exceptional talent with website design, development, and management as well as social media applications. His leadership, skills and instincts were a critical component of the Borders For Atlanta campaign communications team.

In addition to his outstanding technical abilities, Maurice is extremely professional, meticulous and reliable even under challenging and time-sensitive working conditions.

But what I most appreciate about Maurice is his independent thinking and decision making — strategic and tactical — to get things done with the highest impact possible. Besides fulfilling his responsibilities well, he constantly thinks of practical and effective ways for the team and the organization to improve - a rare and exceptional trait.”
