Bio
Oliver Lillie
I had the greatest pleasure working with Joel when he contracted at Nuuka Solutions. I appreciated the clarity of design he brought. He was not precious about his designs like some designers can be. He listened to developers' feedback and took their input during the design reviews incredibly well. He always wanted to find the problem's best solution rather than forcing designs upon developers. He also helped the more junior developers interpret Figma designs with [developer] implementation level naming of his components to help them better understand the design system re-use. Even though he was only contracting part-time, the effort he put into the design system and handover documents through Zeplin was a boon to the developers. I would love to work with Joel again - he is a precious asset, particularly with design thinking and his developer and designer collaboration & communication skills.
