Quan was a great creative partner, always bringing a fresh perspective, intuitive instinct and well timed creative decisions to the edit.

They say you have to love what you do to give your best and that's my overall impression working with Quan. True professional that elevates the creative through passionate, hard work. Best of the Best IMO.

KATHLLEN LAVALLE

President and CEO,
Dallas CASA


All of us at Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are grateful for the incredible work Quan contributed to the creation of a video that helped raise awareness of the risks foster youth face of becoming sex trafficking victims.

Quan is the quintessential professional who was able to apply his impressive skills to a final product that was exactly matched to the audience and purpose of the project. The "I Stopped Counting" video is a powerful statement about why high-risk youth need a reliable, caring advocate to amplify their voices.

Thank you so much Quan, for your exceptional work in helping AAJA Asia brand out New Now Next Media Conference . . . your work really helped elevate the tone and the brand of N3Con. It was well done, it was on a short deadline and it looked amazing.

So thank you so much for your amazing work and I know we will be working with you again.

QuanZa, aka The DonMagicQuan, stands out as one of my favorite editorial partners. It’s a fun feeling when you concept, write and shoot a spot, and seemingly know what the first edit will look like… But, then you see a fresh perspective from your booth buddy that you didn’t really expect.

That’s what Quan brings to the party – an amuse-bouche.

TANYA PINTO

His work ethic is unmatched and his eye for detail, flawless editing and astute selection of music sets him apart.

For many years he has selflessly helped my nonprofit producing powerful and emotive video content to raise thousands of dollars for children in need and is also a member of our Advisory Board. I cannot recommend Quan highly enough . . .

I’ve had the privilege of working with Quan on multiple projects over the years and I’m always excited for each opportunity. I feel a sense of calm over the entire production because of the level of trust, dedication, and expertise that he provides.

Quan is a machine, a “one-stop shop” . . . he is not only creative but very technical. His precision is matched by how pleasant he is to be around.
