“I was impressed with Jeff's ability to 'mobilize' the team toward achievement when we worked together on the Design System. He inspired a sense of diligence in every team member as we were framing use cases and executing on design components.”
- Terry Patterson, UX Research Lead
“When creating a response to the global pandemic, we were quoted five to six months to build a Covid testing portal. The design system accelerated development of the portal, allowing a HIPPA-regulated system to be launched in ten days.“
- Daniel Mitchell, Solutions Architect
“Your team continues to deliver! Every time I see the design system, it is maturing by leaps and bounds. The throughput of your team is amazing!”
- Sheldon Barnes, Digital Development Lead
“Jeff was and continues to be a great UX mentor. His knowledge and passion of the UX space inspired me to pursue HCI as a full-time career when I saw the potential it has for improving human experiences.”
- Mateusz Kosciuk, UX Apprentice
