“John is an outstanding design leader. He is incredibly collaborative, and is a strong partner to product & engineering. He willingly dives into new domains. He calmly brings structure, framing and perspective to any new initiative, and orients the team to deliver delightful, effective user experiences, within the constraints of time and resource.

“I really respect John as a designer, and as a human.
John is able to deeply understand customer problems, and then create multiple design solutions for us to explore together. He doesn’t shy away from complex problems... [referenced project removed]. I appreciate his approach of being pragmatic, while still trying to best solve for the customer.
John is a role model of vulnerability-based leadership. He celebrates the small wins and never misses an opportunity to show appreciation for a team member. He has been a strong contributor to the culture of psychological safety that has helped create a very high-performing team.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with John. His personality is electrifying, bringing energy, cohesion, and momentum to the teams and projects with which he's involved. It's hard to overstate the value this brought to our team.
John's approach to UX and design are top notch. As an engineer, I found it exceptionally easy to implement his designs, and he was always open to feedback and questions. I simply can't recommend John enough, and I sincerely hope to work with him again in the future.”
