A few words from my colleagues.
I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people.
“Jason is a great mentor and coach. He truly believes in helping others and enjoys watching them succeed.
He wasn’t afraid to speak up for those we were trying to help and he saw opportunity during those times when options were limited.”
Jason has the honor of being one of the most amazing managers I have ever had. Yes, I know that’s a big statement. But, it’s 100% true.
I have a lot to thank Jason for. He took a chance on me when I interviewed for his design team. I didn’t have the typical portfolio to show and I was terrified that I was wasting his time. But, that was all for naught. He recognized my passion and enthusiasm for the UX field and brought me on. Honestly, I might not be where I am today without his help. And for that, I’m deeply thankful.
Jason is a great mentor and coach. He truly believes in helping others and enjoys watching them succeed. When things got a little rocky at work, he had my back and supported me through it all. He wasn’t afraid to speak up for those we were trying to help and he saw opportunity during those times when options were limited.
I want to thank Jason for all of his support, mentorship, talent and kindness. Jason, you are awesome!
“Jason is a man of integrity and dedication to his craft; never resorting to micromanagement, and never (ever) failing to champion the end-user.”
It takes a special kind of person to manage other people, and to do it well. In the four years that I worked for Jason he carefully and consistently provided a stable work environment that fostered my best work, challenged me to grow, made me feel like I was his only responsibility (far from the true reality), and even supported me through extremely difficult personal situations. All while meeting the heavy demands of his own position and helping to craft one of the most advanced healthcare technology platforms ever designed.
Jason is a man of integrity and dedication to his craft; never resorting to micromanagement, and never (ever) failing to champion the end-user. It was an honor and joy to work for him and I envy the next team who gets to have him as a mentor.
“Jason is very strategic in his approach and is always thinking further down the road than almost anyone else so as to ensure the best path forward is taken.”
I've been very fortunate to collaborate with Jason over the last 2 years. Jason is truly a master of thoughtful design as well as human factors and experience. What's more, is that Jason is very strategic in his approach and is always thinking further down the road than almost anyone else so as to ensure the best path forward is taken. I can confidently say that I've learned a great deal from seeing Jason work. I've always tried to consider all angles when evaluating what the best course of action is. However, through my experiences with Jason, I found that I was perhaps only considering factors in 3D, whereas there's often a 4th dimension to contemplate as well. Always creative, dynamic, strategic, thoughtful, and leading by example, Jason would be an asset to any organization and I couldn't recommend him higher.
“Jason is a true believer in results-driven design thought.”
It is a pleasure to work with Jason. He is a hardworking, resourceful strategist and patient, knowledgeable mentor. Jason was invaluable to me as I transitioned from copywriter to experience designer, revealing new ways to marry content writing with sound CX design. Jason is a true believer in results-driven design thought. Determined and honest, Jason would be a great asset to any company and the people working with him.
“Jason was an excellent addition to our team and helped us develop courses that will provide students with extremely valuable skills as they embark on careers in Software Engineering.”
We brought Jason in as a Subject Matter Expert for a set of courses on User Experience design. Jason worked extremely well with our entire team on everything from initial development of how the courses would flow together, through development of key topics and objectives for each of the courses, to overall design of course assignments and creation of interactive learning material. I worked directly with Jason on one of these courses, and he came up with a number of innovative ideas we employed for engaging the students in the development and presentation of their own UI designs.
Jason was an excellent addition to our team and helped us develop courses that will provide students with extremely valuable skills as they embark on careers in Software Engineering. If we ever have need for a GUI or User Experience expert again, Jason is the first person I'll contact, and I recommend him without hesitation.
“He’s a strong advocate for design, and he’s able to speak to its value.”
Jason gets it. He's a strong advocate for design, and he's able to speak to its value. Jason has a broad view of the landscape of user experience design, and he sees patterns and principles clearly. He values doing things right, and he has an uncommon level of respect for his coworkers' time and talents. Jason is both open-minded and discerning at the same time. He's a great guy to have on your side. Recommended!
“Jason is a dynamic, nimble and forward-thinking practitioner.”
Jason is a smart, resourceful, creative thinker who is always on the leading edge of online applications, usability and front-end development. Whether it's crowd sourcing or web design or social media, Jason is a dynamic, nimble and forward-thinking practitioner. He's got an terrifically developed sense of design and content creation, as well as all of the tools at his fingertips to create them. Additionally, Jason has the kind of confidence, leadership and commitment to excellence that I'm confident will serve him well in his future career positions.
“Jason is a very knowledgeable and inspiring person to work with.”
Jason is a very knowledgeable and inspiring person to work with. In our time together, I always could learn something new or gain a perspective I hadn't considered from him. At the same time, he was very open to my perspective and ideas.
He was a great team player and worked well within our group. His creative insight and design knowledge are top notch. I thoroughly recommend Jason and his work.
As a Mentor
In the spirit of paying it forward, I happily offer my time to help others better their practice, careers, and themselves.
“He was incredibly patient and gave measured, thoughtful responses.”
Jason was absolutely lovely. We chatted a lot about design leadership and building cross-collaborative competencies, and structuring design and research practices in young companies. He was incredibly patient and gave measured, thoughtful responses, and I highly recommend talking with him!
“He helped me discover my strength from my personal background.”
My mentorship experience with Jason was great! He was very patient and helped me discover my strength from my personal background. He also gave me lots of good feedback on how to improve my portfolio to stand up at the future job search! Highly recommended!
“He really paid close attention to detail and gave professional advice.”
I have an upcoming interview and had to create a presentation for it. Jason listened as I walked through it and then gave me some really valuable feedback on the presentation, design, and the content. He really paid close attention to detail and gave professional advice.
