“Jeff is an outstanding UX designer and collaborator. Jeff came on at a time when team morale was low and resources were tight. He ramped up extremely quickly to the complexity of YouTube and the music industry. Through his thorough research, quick wireframes, and high fidelity visuals and Figma prototypes he immediately showed impact. I was impressed with how quickly he was able to navigate a confusing UX approval and launch process with next to no supervision. He partnered effectively with teams in three time zones while working almost entirely remote.

After multiple successful launches and UXR studies driven by Jeff, our team output and morale was at an all time high. I rarely receive as much positive feedback as I did from the PMs/ENGs on our team. We were all disappointed when Jeff's contract was cut short. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I had the chance.”

“I had the good fortune to work with Jeff for the last year at YouTube. I consider our team's work to be fairly complex: building custom analytics solutions for artists & music industry partners. When Jeff joined, he quickly ramped up. In short order, it felt like he had been on the team for years.

His UX designs are thoughtful and elegant, providing simple & delightful solutions to meet our users' needs. Jeff's working style is very professional and everyone I spoke to agreed he's a pleasure to work with.

He is also excellent at navigating challenging organizational complexities to drive consensus across stakeholders and secure necessary approvals. Our team was able to make progress on our most important work thanks to Jeff's hard work.”

I highly recommend Jeff for any product design role. As a colleague and collaborator, Jeff was an incredibly thoughtful designer who always approached his work with care and attention to detail. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that the user's needs were at the forefront of his designs, resulting in highly intuitive and user-friendly products.

Jeff was also an open collaborator who worked well with both designers and non-designers alike. He was always willing to listen to feedback, brainstorm ideas, and offer his own insights and expertise. Jeff was a natural at bringing people together, fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment that made everyone feel valued. He regularly organized team hang-outs, co-working sessions, and coffee chats, which helped build a culture at Zoom of care.

Overall, Jeff is an exceptional product designer who is passionate about his work and always strives for excellence. He is a team player who is dedicated to creating innovative and impactful products that meet both the user's needs and business objectives. I highly recommend Jeff and am confident that he will be a valuable asset to any team or organization he joins.
