Jack Miles
In today’s age companies are constantly trying to better integrate UX design for their users. Having a strong knowledge of human behavior is a must for anyone looking to improve their application’s design. Blake is an ideal individual for the UX industry thanks to his academic background and extracurricular experiences. Understanding that in order to create intuitive software, market researchers need to be well acquainted with their users. Blake is one of those rare cases where he possesses both the technical and soft skills to articulate what end-users need from their applications for creating a superior UX along with having the genuine passion to actively go out and talk with users face to face. His welcoming, professional, and cheerful personality on top of his unprecedented work ethic that allows him to work long into the night makes him an irreplaceable coworker. His continuous nature of putting other peoples’ needs before his own makes him an even better friend and a worthy recommendation for any company looking to take their products to the next step.

Blake was a great addition to our team at Children's Hunger Alliance this summer helping to feed children through our Mobile Canton Feeding Program. He was eager to learn, took on responsibilities, and had great initiative. He completed our Ohio Department of Education audits with no issues at the sites. He truly was an asset to our program and our mission.
