It was a great experience working with Zero Main, and Dan & Dr. R were always a great source of information and easy to reach, my coworkers were considerate and everyone did what had to be done in a timely manner.

Dan and Phani are great people! They have a wonderful vision in mind and are easy to contact.

Working with Dan and Dr R was a great experience. Both of them are highly enthusiastic about their work, and Dan gave me great directions when searching for an art direction to build. As I progressed through the project, I found the process of doing the work becoming a blossoming passion. Dan made sure to give me tons of helpful feedback, but made sure to give me the liberty to explore the art direciton on my own. It was a really good balance, and I was really happy with the clear scope for the project, art direction, and company branding that they helped lay out for me.

Working with Zero Main was nice as they were really team oriented and had a vision in mind for their business.

great team to work with, very outgoing, very nice, and very down to earth team.

I have so far greatly enjoyed my time working for Zero Main Inc. Dan and Dr. R. are both inspiring individuals who are very passionate about the work they do and the potential that Zero Main has. It is very exciting to work for a company in such primitive stages and I feel as though when I make suggestions, whether that concern business development or in the areas of funding and grant acquisition, my opinion is well received. I have enjoyed the collaborative efforts of the team and look forward to being able to continue my work.

Amazing company with kind and trusting staff. Always an opportunity to grow.

Working with Zero Main as a project manager was an absolute pleasure. Dan and Dr. R were very supportive mentors. They gave me their full trust and allowed me to take on the project with confidence, answering any questions I had in detail and making themselves available to me at all times. I learned a lot about time management, team building, organizing, and developing a business. I would recommend working with them to any creative individual looking to implement and further build their skills.

Working with the team at Zero Main Inc. on their website development project has been an enriching experience. The project provided an opportunity to enhance my technical skills. The team's dedication to sustainability and creating a user-friendly online presence was inspiring and made the collaboration enjoyable. Throughout the project, the communication was clear and effective, which helped in understanding the project goals. The feedback provided was constructive and valuable, enabling me to refine the design and functionality to better meet the company's needs. Their openness to new ideas and willingness to provide necessary resources facilitated a smooth development process. The experience has been instrumental in my professional growth. I look forward to seeing Zero Main Inc.'s continued success, and I hope to collaborate again in the future.

Great team to work with, they were very kind, welcoming and helpful.

I do not recommend students to participate for any deliverables coming from Zero Main. Our experience has been very negative since day one with this project with constant manipulation from the employers. Without proper guidance, we are left in the dark and then accused for the lack of productivity. Their producer set a bias on our group of three ever since we asked for clarification for the project. When we asked for feedback, the employer would be unresponsive until the due date where they would criticize us harshly. There was no sense of professionalism, just passive aggressive responses from their producer ever since we decided to stand up for ourselves. The producer they hired bashed on our group of 3 by reporting false accusations which we politely stood up to. Regardless of our efforts, our voices were never heard and constant manipulation was at play. From all my Riipen experiences, this was the worst. I do NOT recommend this company to future students as it will be an unmotivating and depressing atmosphere.

This project has not only equipped me with a refined portfolio piece but has also instilled in me the confidence and readiness to tackle complex design challenges in the workforce!

Working on the Zero Main Inc. project was a highly rewarding experience. Delving into the company's sustainability initiatives, especially its efforts towards Zero Hunger (UN SDG 2), provided substantial insights into the intersection of business and environmental impact.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to both Dan and Dr. R for entrusting me with the role of producer/project manager for the Zero Main project. Your decision to assign me this responsibility was a wonderful opportunity that I deeply appreciate. Throughout this journey, my communication, conflict management, and leadership skills have flourished as I've had the privilege of leading two teams—the technology development team and the t-shirt design team. One of the most rewarding aspects of working with both of you is the freedom and trust you've placed in me. You've never micromanaged, but instead, provided the perfect balance of support and autonomy, allowing me the space to grow and thrive in my role. Your guidance and encouragement have been invaluable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and develop under your mentorship.

Dan fostered a supportive work environment where team members felt valued and heard. With his empathetic leadership style, Dan encouraged collaboration and personal growth, resulting in a cohesive and productive team dynamic

Working with Dan has been an exceptional experience characterized by his remarkable understanding, unwavering helpfulness, and dedication to assisting others. His exceptional communication skills and innate creativity not only facilitate seamless collaboration but also inspire innovative solutions to challenges. Dan's commitment to providing support and guidance, regardless of the circumstances, underscores his professionalism and reliability as a employer. It has been a privilege to work alongside him, and I am grateful for the invaluable insights and contributions he has brought to our projects.

Working with a big team was a great experience!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with your company.
