Bio
Paul Marion Carlos
Anthony’s title may say mid-level designer but he has senior-level skills. Before joining Reprise, he was responsible for most of the designs and he was able to guide me and another senior designer, Ruthy, through a smooth onboarding process. He was very knowledgeable about the product and kept the team’s Figma files very organized. He is very keen on learning new skills, whether it’s UI design or UX research, and quickly soaked up everything like a sponge. Anthony would be a great addition to any product team.

I benefited greatly working with Anthony over the course of 6 or so months on the flagship product of Reprise. Besides being a total team player, and a pleasure to work with, Anthony has a refined keen eye for design. For the most complicated user interactions, he took the time to understand the nuance of the customer need, took the effort to make multiple examples, and had the due diligence to work with me through the user testing process to find the most intuitive design. On the rare times that we disagreed on vision, he took the time to understand my perspective, and the time to explain his. The process is always smooth and the product is always polished. In his design work, he’s a strong communicator, labeling and structuring his files so you can see the progression of the design, and have clear prototypes to send to the engineering team. If you want a bright designer, hire Anthony.
