Testimonials
Heard around the design community from Rod’s peers and clients
I come from three generations of designers, I run Henry Roth and Michelle Roth design studios in both NYC and Sydney, Australia. I am also the Mentor of ‘Project Runway Australia.’ Frankly speaking, Rod is your man in the world of design. Period. No one I have met in my 30 years of design has the connections, the knowledge, the experience, the network, the professionalism, or the tenacity to truly help, coach and advise creative talent to pursue success across the board. He’s a true expert in his field.

"I have known Rod for more than a few years—in fact, Rod is one of the reasons I was asked to join the Adjunct Staff at Parsons a few years ago. Rod has always been a very solid resource for young, talented designers. In the realm of coaching, Rod seems to really be on his game."

“Rod is my DESIGN ANGEL! Before I met him I was very frustrated and upset with my own job search and had been unsuccessfully trying to find a job for a few years. It is indescribable how much he assisted me, with my resume, with my confidence and coaching me on all aspects of the process. I would not be here if not for his patience and assistance. For that, I give thanks.”

"Rod helped to place me in a junior designer position. He really listened and took an interest in my portfolio, my growth in my career, and my long-term goals, and helped find a job that was best for me. Over the years, he has kept me in mind for new positions that might be good fits for me. He was a pleasure to work with and a great resource, I plan to work with him again when I'm ready to move on."
