Testimonials

  • Adam is the complete package. A good human being that is fun to be around and cares about his colleagues, customers, and the mission. He’s a design expert who taught me something new, every time we were together. Adam is a student of visual communication, human behavior, and technology. He has deep roots in all things healthcare and brought tremendous value to Talkiatry over the past three plus years. I would be remiss if I didn't also share that he's a talented manager who developed a high performing team of visual, service, and communication design professionals that were fiercely loyal to him. He’s also one of the most productive and collaborative people I’ve ever worked with. He would be a great asset to any organization.

  • Adam is one of the most thoughtful people I have met and worked with. He is driven by the quest for excellence and believes in the process as much as the end result. He is able to leverage his design thinking in almost all facets of a business and I often found myself asking his sage wisdom when faced with a problem. I would be eager to work with Adam again!

  • I was a design freelancer at CareDox under Adam’s direction. Adam’s easy going personality made it a pleasure to work with him. He gave clear direction and always answered my questions, even when he was busy. He created an environment where it was not only easy and effective to work with him but also with others on the team. He had a clear vision of how to tackle any problem and would consider every detail. Adam’s dedication to his craft and his care for the team makes him one of the best people I’ve ever worked with.

  • Adam Bunke and I worked together to strategically find a way to digitally market our business unit within a massive organizational structure. With his background of design and agency, he constructed workshops to ideate the best scenarios, while we married the research to support the chosen direction. Business Marketing had a great relationship with Design because of Adam's inclusion in our work, and his ability to see the forest from the trees. Very impressed with his knowledge and responsive demeanor!

  • Adam is easily the best design leader I’ve had the chance to work with. He is an inspiring, hard working collaborator who brings a mix of strategic vision, deep design knowledge, and empathy. His positive influence and impact can be seen in nearly every department and facet of Talkiatry. As a leader, Adam truly cares about his team. He challenged us, guided us, and ultimately led us to accomplish much more than the sum of our parts. I’ve learned so much from Adam, and I’ve become a better, more thoughtful designer for it. Any team would be lucky to have him!
