I could have a ten minute conversation with Brandon and walk away having learned so much. I feel very fortunate to have worked with him early in my product design career as he taught me some really actionable ways to grasp a holistic understanding of the root user problem and how to view product design objectively and grounded in research. I'm also grateful for how patient he was with providing feedback and guidance what felt like endless iterations and truly became a better product designer because I worked with him.

Brandon and I worked together on a multilayered project. He’s a down-to-earth designer & peer leader who I respect immensely. He has excellent UX and UI skills, a detailed eye and lean mindset — but that’s just the beginning. He creates an open environment for feedback, brings clarity to challenges, and mentors others as a daily habit. In an ambiguous environment, he saw opportunity to not only create a design system, but also leverage it for cross-functional collaboration and up-skilling his peers. I’ve learned a lot from him, and I’d welcome the opportunity to work with Brandon again.

It was fantastic working with Brandon. He was a very dedicated lead designer and was always passionate about helping others figure out the design scope. I had the pleasure of working with Brandon on the NAVICA projects at Abbott Laboratories. He also helped the team smoothly transfer the Design System from Sketch to Figma. In addition, he provided outstanding mentorship and documentation that allowed the team to use the system without problem. I learned so many design skills from Brandon during the projects, and I highly recommend him to be part of the team.

Brandon is one of the most hardworking people I know. I have always looked up to him for his grit and dedication to being up to date with current industry-standard UX practices. He is naturally analytical which makes him a great sounding board for difficult projects. I have reached out to him many times for feedback on my work because he's honest and pays attention to detail. His analytical skills also have been very useful when doing user research. He would be a valuable asset to any team and I hope to work with him again.

I had the privilege of working with Brandon at VMware Tanzu Labs for over a year, where we collaborated on consulting projects with large enterprises. Brandon possesses a strong foundation in design and excels as a team player and collaborator. He consistently presented well-thought-out and intelligent design solutions to tackle complex problems. What truly stood out to me was his generosity in sharing knowledge. He actively engaged in enhancing our collective design practices and culture, offering assistance to fellow designers and consistently going the extra mile to deliver exceptional work for our clients. Brandon's wealth of design knowledge, dedication to delivering exceptional user experiences, and his role as a mentor and exemplar of effective collaboration make him a valuable addition to any team. I highly recommend bringing him on board as soon as possible!

Brandon was one of the best design thinkers I have worked with. His work is thoughtful, efficient, and user-centric. One of my favorite examples of Brandon's work was a time when we had a feature that leadership felt was going to be useful. Brandon was tasked to work on that feature. Brandon researched the feature and presented prototypes to a group of users. Based on the testing, users admitted that while they liked the feature, they wouldn't use it. Brandon bravely pushed back against the feature to the business, highlighting how much money the organization would save by not building the feature. I have referenced this case study many times extolling the virtue of UX research to test & validate features.

What truly sets her apart is not just her impressive academic track record, but her deep understanding of the process and her genuine commitment to excellence. Her expertise, combined with a clear, strategic approach, makes her an outstanding coach. Anyone guided by her is certain to benefit immensely from her wealth of experience and insightful guidance.

His approach is not just about technical know-how; it’s about cultivating the qualities that define a great salesperson. Zach’s insights are preparing me to succeed in my future role.

Zach was able to help me land an amazing position at Podium. He was able to walk me through how he landed his amazing roles, and how to stand out during the interview process. I landed the job within my first interview and was offered the position on the spot. Thank you Zach!

Since the day I met Zach at AWS he has given me his full time, attention, and advice. He’s helped me through complex sales opportunities, networking, my promotion, and countless other acts. Anyone would be lucky to have Zach as a mentor and guide throughout your career.
