What our Team Members Say

The dream of any of designer or artist is to work on meaningful, game changing projects that resonate with their audience. At Proof that is absolutely the case. We laugh a lot in the office, we take our work very seriously, but not ourselves.

– Matt, team member for 10 years

Not only did I learn an amazing amount about business working with Grant and the Proof team, but it set me up to win a great position working at the Federal Reserve. Working at Proof was one of the best decisions I have made.

– Tyler, team member for 3 years

I love that every day at Proof is different. Helping clients that face a multitude of challenges makes each day new. I particularly enjoy getting to see the data evolve from numbers to concepts that businesses can easily interpret and use.
