From a letter of recommendation
To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to recommend Travis Bell, a Graphic Designer / Production Artist I have worked with for nearly 10 years. As Manager of Creative Services for Shell Lubricants, I can honestly say Travis is a dedicated, reliable, and highly skilled contributor whose impact on our team is both significant and enduring. Over the years, he helped build our culture of teamwork, collaboration and friendship.
Travis consistently demonstrates a strong commitment to excellence. His brand stewardship is very strong. He maintains accuracy and consistency across more than twenty lubricant brands, including Pennzoil, Quaker State, and Shell Rotella. His ability to manage a workload that exceeds typical capacity, while still delivering fast, accurate, on-brand work, sets him apart.
He has helped develop and continually improve our internal creative processes and he oversees our digital asset systems with exceptional care and organization. Travis thrives under pressure, often delivering ahead of schedule, and communicates clearly and professionally across teams. His dedication, loyalty, conscientious work ethic, and wicked sense of humor make him not only a strong performer but a valued teammate.
I confidently recommend Travis for any opportunity that requires reliability, accuracy, creativity, continuous improvement and a commitment to a one team mindset.

I had the pleasure of working with Travis for over 15 years and I can confidently say he is one of the most talented and dependable artists I’ve worked with.
His attention to detail is exceptional, and he consistently produces high-quality work with accuracy and efficiency. No matter the volume of work or the deadline, he approaches every project with professionalism, care, and a genuine commitment to getting it right. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work, and that dedication shows in the final product.
Beyond his technical skills, Travis is a fantastic teammate. He’s collaborative, supportive, and brings a great sense of humor to the workplace that makes even the busiest days more enjoyable. He is someone people naturally enjoy working with and trust to deliver outstanding results.
Any team would be fortunate to have Travis. He combines talent, reliability, and a positive attitude in a way that makes a lasting impact on both the work and the people around him.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Travis on and off throughout our time together at both Valassis and Shell, and he has consistently been one of the most reliable and talented production professionals I know.
Over the last several years, Travis has served as the lead production artist for Shell and has become an invaluable part of the team. When our Art Director is unavailable, he seamlessly steps into the role of “air traffic controller,” managing workflow, assigning projects, reviewing creative, and ensuring everything stays on track. His leadership and steady presence make a tremendous difference.
Travis has exceptional attention to detail and is my go-to resource for anything production-related. No matter how complex the challenge, he approaches it with expertise, professionalism, and a solutions-oriented mindset. He is incredibly agile and can pivot quickly when last-minute requests arise, often going above and beyond to ensure projects are delivered successfully. More times than I can count, Travis has been my lifesaver.
Beyond his technical skills and dedication, Travis brings a fantastic sense of humor to the workplace. His wit and positive attitude have a way of brightening even the busiest and most stressful days. He is not only a highly skilled production leader but also someone who makes every team better simply by being part of it.
Any organization would be fortunate to have Travis on their team.
