“In my time working with Leon, I was impressed not only with his high level of skill and expertise in core UX and design tasks, but also with his ability to understand how to bridge the gap between the business needs of the client and the needs of the user. He’s an excellent communicator, capable of distilling and explaining complex subjects to any audience in any context, and he understands that remembering the ‘human’ in human-centered design is critical to the success of any project. I learned a great deal from my time working with him and any team would be lucky to have him.”
Will TuckerPrincipal UX Designer at HTC Global
“Leon provides thought leadership and oversight to a wild team of designers and researchers working on emerging technology. He transforms complex industry challenges into useful, desirable, and innovative enterprise level products. Leon enables us to do our best work and shepherds projects through the design process by coordinating across the organization. Oh, and he brings us craft donuts when hungry. #WINNING.”
Diana ChowAssociate Director, Design Research at Humana
“Leon is one of the best co-workers I've had, and certainly the best UX Lead that I've interacted with. Leon consistently provided designs that were backed in solid research, and could speak to each pattern or decision with confidence.
Leon also led Rapid Design Labs, where an idea would transform from a thought, to wires, to mocks, enabling you to think through the unknowns, and also producing something tangible as an output. I can't recommend Leon enough and know that anywhere would be fortunate to have him on their team.”
Tim FerrellEngineering Manager at Okta
“Leon is an outstanding designer and leader. He led our UX team to accomplish amazing UX and UI standards that influenced the entire company. He was truly supportive and managed our team of creatives to meet all of our goals. He always made sure that we were using the latest and greatest design trends and working with each other on our greatest skill sets. He implemented Rapid Design Lab sessions that were hugely successful and set a standard for other UX groups in the company. He also accomplished numerous design and utility patents that put our product at the forefront. I would recommend him to manage any UX team or project!”
Linda MassieDistinguished Designer at Medtronic
“Leon is the best! Allow me to explain: When it comes to UX, it's not enough to be a stone cold expert (and he is) - you really need to be an incredible communicator on all fronts. As an engineer, I treasured Leon's tailored approach to presenting and collaborating on UX initiatives.
Understanding the journey our users embark on and how the features we're actively developing impact that journey provided key insights that allows our development team to make smart, customer-focused decisions every day.
I loved that any time a conversation danced around UX topics, Leon was always thrilled to hop in and listen, then provide amazing advice in a way only Leon can. Jump at the opportunity to bring Leon aboard. Your company will thank you, and so will your customers!”
