I truly cannot say enough good things about Husani. He is as equally talented as his disposition is sunny, such a fantastic experience working with him!

Seriously talented. Enough said!

I worked with Husani and Jason while at BBDO Atmosphere on the range of Visa products, which included Visa Brand, Visa Checkout, and Visa Signature. Husani was highly-collaborative, and gave me the freedom to tackle problems and provide suitable solutions, without being overly-prescriptive. I appreciated Husani’s willingness to get his hands dirty and crank on the work with me to meet Visa's rapid turnaround times. Husani always remained friendly and down-to-earth, while still providing strong strategic and visual direction. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Husani again!

I worked with Husani as an Account Executive at BBDO, on Visa's stable of properties including Visa Signature, Visa Checkout and Visa Brand. This also included Visa's NFL partnership. Husani and his partner Jason Lambert were the lead team to work on digital and integrated creative, as part of BBDO NY and BBDO Atmosphere's partnership. We worked on a wide range of concepts from microsites, social media content, online video content, banners, experiential/stunts, OOH and direct mail. Husani did an awesome job taking strategic direction, and translating it into innovative creative. The extremely tight deadlines, and rapid turnarounds somehow made my working relationship with Husani even closer, to the point where I can now call him a friend. He was always professional and calm under pressure, and at times, we had fun getting things done. Oftentimes, he anticipated my needs and delivered revisions before deadlines as he did on Visa Signature. I look forward to working with Husani again in some capacity in the future.

If you're truly fortunate in this industry, you'll have the opportunity to work with someone like Husani. As an art director, a designer, a conceptual and strategic thinker, a colleague, and a mentor to junior staff, he has few peers. His work is never generic or formulaic, rather, it's grounded in consumer and industry insight, and is always fresh, compelling and not only in the moment, but slightly ahead of it. I've had the pleasure of working with him at more than one agency and regardless of the client, category or platform, he has over delivered. Exceeding expectations is something that's been wired directly into his DNA. Whether its new business or a critical campaign for an existing client, you can count on Husani to consistently come up with big ideas that are flawlessly executed. He's cool under pressure and his passion for his chosen profession is infectious. Simply stated, he is the real deal.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Husani while working on VISA at BBDO Atmosphere and BBDO NY. He and his partner Jason Lambert were my direct supervisors, under the Senior Creative Director Scott Rodgers and the ECD at the time, Toygar Bazarkaya. Out of all the assignments I had while there, I was most excited about many of the projects I created with Husani, because they exhibited fresh-thinking, despite incredibly tight timelines. Husani always kept a great attitude, and was very easy and fun to collaborate with. I hope I can work with him in some capacity, in the future.

Husani is that rare agency talent who consistently brings innovative, creative ideas to the company table. In my time working with him, he reliably did so under increasingly tight deadlines and unreasonable account pressures. As the tech lead on many of these projects, I loved collaborating with Husani to build upon his very original ideas and to help them come into fruition. He's an asset to any agency team and I look forward to working with him again. The sooner, the better.

Husani is truly a creative at heart. Never one to fall victim to the distractions of the office, he has always seemed to have a very focused demeanor. I remember Husani as a major contributor to such brands as Bermuda Tourism, Verizon, and others. An inspiration to other creatives, he does not shy away from sharing amazing ideas during crunch time.

Husani's presentation skills always impress me. He is able to captivate his audience and sell his ideas every time. His work ethic is admirable and whenever I work with him I appreciate his relentless push for greatness and his ability to shake off losses and come back with something new and better. He is humble, honest and intelligent, making working with him even more of a pleasure. He and Jay are a killer team, balancing each other out and pushing each other to always deliver above and beyond expectations.

Husani Barnwell played a critical and central role in the launch of DonorsChoose.org, creating the artwork, imagery, and "feel" of our website and brand. He brought to bear a deep expertise in design and typography—and a deep commitment to social justice.

I worked with Husani and I vividly remember the pleasure of the experience. His creative talent—including his unique ability to produce something wonderfully concrete from extremely abstract ideas—is outshined only by his people skills and ability to work productively with non-creative minds such as mine. I would welcome an opportunity to work with Husani again.

Husani is, without question, one of the finest creative minds I have ever come across. I was the Manager of Harvard Graphic Design during his term as Head Designer for our agency. During this time, Husani demonstrated an uncanny ability to transform marketing concepts and "feelings" into brilliant advertising campaigns for our clients. Husani's dedication, work ethic, and exceptional talent made him indispensable to our bottom line and to our agency's creative efforts. Husani was also a great team player whose enthusiasm and cheerful disposition motivated and inspired the rest of us as well.

I worked with Husani in his role of creative director of the AAAA MAIP Alumni Association. His ability to translate briefs and strategic direction into effective and impacting communication pieces was both awe-inspiring and a refreshing change of pace.

I worked with Husani in 2004 when I hired him to help me with the image of my company and logo design. Husani has an unsatiable appetite for success, and his energy at the workplace is infectious. To sound cliche, the best player on the team makes those around him better, and such is the case with Husani as his intelligence and positive attitude lifts the vibe of the workplace.

Husani has been a wonderful mentor who has given me astute advice and feedback on how I should approach and improve the work. He is an intelligent, enthusiastic professional who has a great sense of aesthetic.
