Architect. Analyst. Strategist. Visualizer. Kent wants to know why? Why so many redoes? Why the reworks? Why so many redundant steps? They cost time, money and frustration reducing the potential for quality. But, frustration, to a questioning mind, can lead to a solution. At Beck, Kent’s questions resulted in the workflow audit which standardizes workflow processes and provides a uniform language. It’s called the Beck compression method. And Kent is the architect.

Pragmatist. Let’s cut to the chase. With Gary there is no learning curve. He’s tackled multiple graphic workflow engagements in the past two years. Twenty-five years of pre-media, printing, audit and analysis experience before that. He’s helped giant consumer product and entertainment companies speed their brands to market. He knows the process, the pitfalls and the most effective way to get it all done. So does everyone on his team. Pragmatism comes from experience and it shows.

Disciplinarian. Time saver. Number cruncher. Penny pincher. With Pete it’s all about less. Less time. Less money. Less anxiety. And it all adds up to more quality and the kind of efficiency only a professional process can provide. His disciplined hard-nosed approach to the budgeting and planning of each step in the workflow compression process provides measurable results. Pete knows that Beck clients appreciate both the discipline and the results our process provides.
