“My wife Penny and I have a limited production wine brand in California that serves as a showcase for the wine grapes I grow in the Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County.

Preston was instrumental in getting our first website up in 2006 and did such a good job that it still worked well in 2018! This year we decided to spruce it up a bit and make it ADA compliant. We turned to Preston to make this all happen and could not be more pleased. He is very aware that our small, family run business is budget conscious and, having spoken to a few other VERY EXPENSIVE marketing companies here on the west coast, we reached out across the U.S. to Preston. Luckily for us, he agreed to take us on again.

Not only was he easier on the wallet, but his ideas and vision are truly superior. He builds these sites to last and is always available to address any concerns that one might have. We are not 9-5 type people and Preston never complains when we can’t get around to calling him until 7pm PST. (He is on the east coast!)

Preston spots technical issues and trends before they happen. This is invaluable to us and so is Preston. Thanks to Preston we can do what we do best; farm high quality Tondré Grapefield fruit and produce award winning Tondré wines!

“Preston is an unbelievable creative professional. He loves his craft and is exceptional at communicating his ideas while embracing the clients’ needs. His exceptional grasp of UI and how to address human interface issues is astounding. As a UI developer it’s always a pleasure to work on projects with Preston as the final product makes us all look good!”

“Preston Kincaid is one of the smartest and most creative people I’ve come across in a long time. I brought him into HawkGrips because of our technology was broken and the company wasn’t being run efficiently.

Preston took the time to first understand the business and all of the problems we were having. Then he went to work and completely revamped all of our broken systems and technology. His work will save us hundreds of thousands of dollars over the coming years.

Not only is Preston a technologist, he also has a great eye for design. He redesigned our website himself and revamped all of our marketing collateral. I couldn’t be more pleased with what he has done for us since day one.

Preston is also a visionary. Many people think day to day, Preston is thinking 5-10 years in the future. But that doesn’t mean he’s not willing to roll up his sleeves and pull 18 hour days if necessary. I’ve asked him to do that a number of times and he has never pushed back once.

Preston is a good guy, a true talent and will be an asset to any organization.”

“Preston is one of those rare finds that can not only do a wide variety of things, but excel at them. From graphic and web design, to strategic planning, to marketing, to technical operations. Over the past year Preston has been integral in helping us in all of these areas. His infectious can do attitude, and unwavering commitment to the task at hand has resulted in a complete website redesign, revamped marketing materials, and a more integrated technology infrastructure to name but a few of his accomplishments here at HawkGrips.

I could not be more grateful for the support Preston has provided to me over the past year, acting more as a mentor than a supervisor, and empowering me to take on new and more challenging technical projects. His patience and guidance in providing training and oversight in so many areas has been key to the successful execution of many of our projects.

It’s been a privilege to work alongside Preston and he would be an asset to any organization looking to work with him.”

“Coming out of college, I had a very basic understanding of video editing, photoshop, and managing social media for a business. Sure, I knew what worked for my own little projects, but Preston was the one who guided me in the right direction at HawkGrips. As someone who is constantly looking to improve in the world of content creation, whether thats video production, post production, photoshop, or social media, Preston is someone I was extremely lucky to have around at a moments notice. Just when I thought something looked fine, Preston found 8-9 things that needed correction that 99.9% of other people would overlook. He never allowed me to take any shortcuts, and that’s something I will always appreciate. His insane attention to detail is something every business needs in the highly competitive world we live in today.”

“I was in a unique leadership position at one of my clients to develop in-clinic products and partnered with Preston during this engagement. He led the development of the partnership-operating model, product roadmap, beta testing and go to market approach. Once launched, Preston’s marketing and analytics leadership helped synthesize usage data across customers and product sales to help us obtain critical learnings.

Preston’s unique ability to quickly understand the business need and build credibility allowed us to launch into a new segment that allowed my client to position products within the point of care workflow.”

“I was fortunate enough to have experienced some of the creative talent possessed by Mr. Preston Kincaid during our time together at North Coast Medical. As the Creative Marketing Director at the company, he really laid out some creative and innovative ideas for us, especially in the area of Trade Shows and getting our brands in front of the customer. This has led to more exposure and more recognition for us since we employ an Inside Sales Model. Im only disappointed that we’re unable to continue the adventure. In addition to that he is a hard working individual and maintains focus and direction to the task at hand, You will find him to be a welcome addition to your team.“

“Preston is definitely a top level skilled professional in the design and consulting industry. When I worked with him while at Coptech West in California, he was able to come up with clever and exceedingly useful design concepts that impressed our clientele in the software and telecommunications industries. In addition, he not. only came up with the concepts, he was able to tackle the implementation of the design within a shortened timeframe, and under budget too! I’d definitely work with or for Preston, he is one of the best in the industry.“

“Our latest project was to revamp a web-based product UI for relaunch into an expanded print market – he removed the engineering-ish design and replaced it with a sexy and sophisticated interface that has repeatedly garnered the highest praise. Preston is an artistic guru. He has an innate ability to grasp the emotional impact that aesthetics, color, layout, and design integration have on people—an absolute necessity for a creative professional.”

“Preston is the single most creative, intuitive, flexible and driven individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my 14 years in the software industry. His, “think outside the box” mindset enables him to look at products and services from the sharpened perspective of the human user experience. Preston’s creativity gives him the ability to produce visually and interactively appealing products; infusing any mundane project with added user attraction and value. I have followed his work over the years and have been in awe of many of the stunning multimedia creations he has put out into the web space. I would recommend Preston for any creative services, human user interaction, visual design, branding and marketing.”

“I am thrilled with the website and I am so appreciative of your generosity of time and the dedication you have to excellence. My site is absolutely spectacular and I will be very proud to launch it. I just know that you will have many new clients as a result of this site. There isn’t a company out there that doesn’t need you – desperately. You are the antidote to the tackiness that is so pervasive in “cartoon nation” marketing.”

“Whether as client or vendor, Preston is responsive and flexible. His designs are crisp and easy to read and use, a stellar virtue that makes them stand out in a cluttered, busy world of design for its own sake. His instructions and communications are clear and to the point, and on the vanishingly rare occasion that clarification is needed, it is provided quickly and completely.”
