Gwendolyn Elder
Product Designer at Abbott
"I had the great pleasure of working with Jeff over the last three years. It is rare to meet a designer with such a wide breadth and depth of knowledge across so many diverse industries, which made Jeff a key asset to our team.
In his time with Abbott, I was able to learn a great deal about his approach to design, research, and stakeholder engagement, all areas he really excelled in.
He has this ability, one which only comes from decades of experience, to see five steps ahead in the process no matter how new or abstract that process may be to him. His rituals as a designer also speak to his professional character. He is always eager to share his designs among the team, elicit feedback and input, and then find a solution that meets both the requirements and user needs.
His ability to rapidly prototype is also one of the most impressive I have ever seen in a fellow designer. Any company would be lucky to have Jeff on their team."

“Working closely with Jeff across numerous key client projects has been such a great experience. His leadership style fosters an open and collaborative environment for design innovation. Jeff is always is always on top of the latest tools and methodologies to optimize our UX research process. I still continue to employ many of the techniques that he introduced me to.
He's great at managing and growing client relationships. Our clients always value his input and put a lot of trust in his design perspectives and direction. He presentation style is very approachable, engaging, and professional.
A large body of Jeff's work serves as case studies within our organization to showcase our credentials and design chops. I always enjoy being assigned together with Jeff on projects, since you're ensured there will always be successful outcomes that exceed client expectations.”

“I had a great experience working with Jeff for several years at TandemSeven and then at Righpoint when we were acquired by Genpact. Jeff has a unique blend of skills that include deep consulting, shaping and conducting user research and translating user needs into highly engaging user interfaces that drive desired business outcomes. Jeff helped drive multi-million dollar relationships with Fortune 100 companies by delivering innovative design solutions.”
Emma Filipow
Digital Product Manager at Abbott
“Jeff is an exceptional UX designer, leader, and colleague. I consider myself lucky to have had over two years of collaboration with him at Abbott while working on two new, consumer-facing products. Jeff's experience is invaluable when interfacing with key stakeholders and driving solutions that meet both the business and user needs.
While an expert in his field, he is always eager to solicit input from other members of the product team. He demonstrates patience and professionalism when handling the multiple opinions (and personalities) of our stakeholders and is always equipped to field questions in a highly regulated industry. Jeff's design expertise and collaborative nature make him an asset to any team.”
Robert Sherron
Experience Design Director at Rightpoint
“Having worked closely with Jeff for several years, he truly demonstrates leadership and a willingness, if not eagerness, to help everyone around him. He is one of the most versatile colleagues I’ve known with knowledge across industries as well as being an expert within the Experience Design and Research discipline. Jeff excels not only in the technical aspects of Experience Design but also in the crucial skills of presentation, workshop facilitation, and managing relationships (both internal and outside our organization).
Jeff has a remarkable ability to scope project work and create comprehensive project plans; something Jeff and I collaborated on numerous times in our careers. And if the project pivots (and they almost always do), he can quickly make the appropriate adjustments.
As an excellent leader and collaborator, Jeff has been instrumental in fostering a positive and supportive team environment. His willingness to share knowledge and mentor others has had a significant impact on the growth and development of our team. I still reference the techniques and examples Jeff shared with me. He is always my go to guy when I need a second opinion and want advice or suggestion on something.”
