Dylan is the first to volunteer for a challenge and can adjust to quickly changing timelines and priorities; working with him was a pleasure and I would recommend having him on your design team.
Dylan never ceased to amaze me while we were working together. He tackled ambiguity and unknowns head-on to keep the team on track and ultimately, played an integral part in making our team more self-organizing.
For anyone looking for a UX designer with excellent communication skills and who can solve complex problems, Dylan is the person for the job.
Dylan's skills as a visual designer are truly exceptional, and I always turned to him first when I needed extra help with my work. He was always willing to jump in where needed and be the first to volunteer to help with tasks outside of his daily responsibilities.
Dylan is an unmatched idea generator. Whenever I planned cross-functional team placements, he was my secret weapon: a cure for what ailed a team stuck in analysis-paralysis.
I would jump at the chance to hire Dylan again, and I would stake my name on assuring any organization that their game will be elevated by having him as a part of their team.
My design process follows an order of operations: Valuable > Usable > Practical > Presentable > Testable. The operations help me prioritize which problems to solve and when to bring order to the chaos of complex product design.
Great UX starts with understanding the value my users and customers need from my product. Delivering this value becomes the basis for every design decision I make.
Products only provide value if people know how to use them. By understanding my users I can design how to deliver that value in an intuitive way.
Businesses don’t hire designers to make things look nice in Figma, they hire them to shape the intent for developers to translate to code. My solutions need to deliver customer value while being feasible for my developers to implement.
Aesthetics come last because people typically don’t pay to see shiny buttons and cool color gradients, but products need to look professional or people won’t take them seriously.
The design is ready, but not done. It requires testing to validate my decisions and documentation to ensure accuracy and alignment.
