I’ve worked with Jared twice and on both occasions he has been exceptional. There are strengths I would call out in particular. First is Jared’s ability to prepare and facilitate workshops - he has an unusually strong ability to extract value and ideas, then drive consensus in workshops. Second is Jared’s ability to quickly understand very complex business environments and apply that understanding to the user experience. It’s common for designers to be able to create a UX that looks like it makes sense at first glance, it’s a rare talent to create something that actually works.

Jared has an incredible intuition for quality design and product development. I learned a great deal from him over the 3+ years we worked together. One particular project stands out, where he was the lead designer. Under his watch we were able to deliver an award-winning product into the hands of users in just over 3 months. That was thanks not just to the quality of his craft, but also his contributions to high-level product strategy and his ability to collaborate so effectively across the whole product team. He also worked hard to create an environment in which I and the other designers could do our best work. Aside from protecting productive ‘design-time’, he was also just a genuinely fun guy to be around and helped to create an inclusive and light-hearted culture in the team. Jared would be a huge asset to any product team.
