        I had the pleasure of working with Alexander Aksenov on various design projects and he has shown exemplary initiative in creating a wide variety of design artworks. Alexander is able to prioritize projects with constant change and adhere to strict deadlines. In addition to thoroughly understanding all the thing relating to the field of graphic design and production he was flexible and willing to accept additional work as needed.  He is organized, thorough in his paperwork, and is always on time. Alex has done an excellent job and I would highly recommend him.
Excited to see Leo Shlovsky and his team at Green Revolution launch this vape line. #notjustvapor
