Anton's expertise and mentorship were integral throughout the project lifecycle

Tractorbeam has been following Anton for a while, and we finally had the pleasure of working with him on a category-defining redesign and design system for Front Gate Tickets. Anton's expertise and mentorship were integral throughout the project lifecycle – not to mention he's an absolute joy to work with. We cannot recommend Anton enough; he truly is a rare talent.
