Bio
Brittany Travitz
Javier is a rare and incredible talent. He also happens to be a really great person. Javier has been instrumental in architecting and pushing forward the product development practice at Drawn. Working with Javier has allowed me to build confidence and grow my expertise across technologies. With his guidance and support I’ve learned how to build project approaches and structure teams including development and creative technology. His approach to working with client partners is artful. He has this special ability to explain complicated technical concepts in language anyone can understand. I can't recommend Javier enough and I can’t wait to work with him in the future.

Javier is one of the most thoughtful and talented folks I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside. His approach to leading technology projects is impeccable; consistently pushing the envelope for what’s possible with working with teammates to ensure clear lines of accountability and high standards for quality. In our time working with Javier I learned tons about how to effectively structure project teams and processes. I’d work with Javier again in a heartbeat. And if you ever get the chance to do so yourself, I highly recommend you jump at the opportunity.
