"His creativity and dedication to user-centered design, combined with his ability to truly listen to user needs, have consistently elevated our projects, resulting in outstanding user experiences. Jay's keen eye for detail and ability to translate complex concepts into intuitive interfaces make him an invaluable asset to any team."
Mitch Hazam
Design Director at Navy Federal
"Jay is one of the most talented designers I've had the pleasure of working with. His focus on user experience and the intricate details that create amazing and memorable designs, sets him apart from others. His passion brings new levels of innovation to each project. Jay's designs consistently maintain a strong balance between aesthetics and information. "
Tom Wanat
Senior Consultant at Navigation Arts
"Jay's design work is top notch and he's simply overflowing with talent. I had the pleasure of working with Jay on the full website redesign of the National Aquarium. Jay led the design effort for that project during which he successfully met tight deadlines, created stunning interactions, and collaborated with a diverse interdisciplinary team."
Dwight McKnight
Senior Product Designer at PointSource
"As the creative director at PointSource, his design advocacy helped the design team flourish to a core offering within the company. Jay showed a great balance of trust and support. He was always involved when I needed his guidance, while also giving me room to grow."
Matt Ferguson
Product Director at LifeOmic
"While certainly an expert, Jay never came into design discussions with that mentality, but rather with an open mind always curious to hear what other people's reactions and opinions were to the specific project at hand. His attitude set the stage for excellent relationships with everybody he worked with."
Tov Arneson
Co-Founder at Stealth Start Up
"Jay's impact was immediate and substantial. He seamlessly integrated with our product and engineering teams, bringing a wealth of experience and creativity to the table. His development of a comprehensive component library significantly accelerated our front-end development process, showcasing his technical proficiency alongside his design skills."
Alistar Wearmouth
Product Director at USA Today
"From insightful product analysis to beautiful (and functional) product design to whimsical, fun flourishes, Jay delivered every time. Great guy to work with, his work speaks for itself."
Thrasyvoulos Karydis
Co-Founder & CTO, DeepCure Inc.
"His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to translate abstract ideas into clear and impactful designs have been invaluable. Jay is a versatile designer who elevates every project he contributes to, and I would highly recommend him."
Andy North
Senior Software Engineer at LifeOmic
"Jay is a joy to work with. It has always been easy and fun to work with him on creating a great user experience. He creates excellent designs and he's very skilled at working with engineering and other stakeholders."
Sally Henry
Art Director at Aol
"Jay’s expertise & positive attitude is respected at all levels. Every day he approaches each project great or small, with the same dedication to excellence. Designing a site is one thing, how to market it is another. Jay knows how to captivate an audience, draw them in and keep them coming back."
Kendra Lyons
Strategic Partnerships Manager at Aol
"Simply put, Jay is one of those rare employees that you say, "if I only had a company full of this kind of person...". His excellence in design is surpassed only by his passion for his work, his drive to meet consumer needs and his professionalism where, even in tough environments, he displays the utmost class."
Bob Steeger
Senior Project Manager at Aol
"Jay and I have worked on multiple projects in multiple categories, and he has always delivered high quality, and right on point for what was being requested. Jay often understood more than just the design that was needed, he understood the motivations and connections that needed to made with the customer, and that is exactly what he delivered."
