Bio
Karen Baylon
Patrick is one of the best Managers that I've ever had. He advocates, encourages, strengthens, and inspires his team to be the best in what they do. :-)
Lexi Kriakin
I have worked with Patrick since day one at 99designs. He was my trainer, team lead, sounding board, go-to for advice, and so much more. Patrick always found time to be available for me in times of need and I enjoyed collaborating with him on tricky cases. He helped me refine my current skillset, but was also generous with encouragement as I worked on areas that needed improvement. Patrick strives for efficiency and he’s not afraid to challenge the status quo for the betterment of his team, the company, and his clients alike. Though his plate is often very full, he's always eager to roll up his sleeves and dig into any obstacles that are thrown his way. Patrick has been an instrumental part of my success at 99designs and I recommend him for any future opportunity he is presented.
Mike Rowe
Customer obsessed is what comes to mind when I think about Pat. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for a few years on user experience improvements at 99designs. Above all, I'm most impressed by Pat’s ability to understand our clients and advocate for them. And, of course, his thoughtful contributions to the product team. Pat would be a true asset for any product team in need of someone focused on customers and their experience.

Mar 2018 - May 2021
As Team Lead for Client Support in our Oakland office, my daily duties were varied. It's important to be flexible and adaptive. I was the escalations lead, taking on tricky situations and finding creative ways to resolve them. I also acted as trainer for newly on-boarded team members. I developed a 2 week intensive training program to prepare new team members for live support on the phones. I also provided continued coaching with team members via monthly 1:1's where we breakdown in detail 3 calls per month. Show less
