The Realize Team Caricatures

The Realize staff is made up of some very talented and interesting people. Our goal is to cultivate a fun team atmosphere where everyone is working together with the common goal of doing amazing work for our clients. There are many different personalities at Realize and you can check them out in the OUR TEAM section of the website. How did these fun caricatures of our team come to life?

“We wanted caricatures instead of photos for our website to convey the fun side of our team. We certainly work very hard at Realize, but we do have fun working and our caricatures convey favorite personal activities. The caricatures have become a very popular feature of our website, and we receive a lot of compliments on them. Paul McCall does phenomenal work, and his caricatures are simply dead-on accurate representations of all of us at Realize!”

-Tonya Reese Realize Inc, CFO and Owner

Paul McCall is a talented artist and he enjoyed working with Realize on this team project.

“My association with Realize, Inc. began in late 2006 when Todd and Tonya Reese contacted me with the idea of having full body (with hobby) caricatures drawn of all the Realize staff. They wanted me to come up to the office and do live sketches and talk to the Realize folks, as well as take reference photos for the final, digital artwork.

Where Realize stands out from my other regular clients is their desire to “freshen” the caricatures on the team web page after a few years, in addition to adding new hires as they come on staff. Another great aspect to getting a call from Realize is that I get to spend some time in an office where everyone really seems to enjoy their work and their co-workers. I always look forward to working with Realize, Inc.”
