Colleagues describe him as "I am writing in strong recommendation of Elliott Koehler as a product design professional and partner in the success of your business. Elliott and I have worked together for over 5 years and through numerous stages of his design career. From initially joining GE as an intern, to working remotely on contract, as his manager on numerous projects, and as a design staff peer, I have a distinct perspective on his qualities. With that, I can undoubtedly say that Elliott is a rare combination of outstanding aesthetic judgement and dedicated work ethic. Elliott’s greatest impression on me is his staunch attention to detail, ability to faithfully communicate those details to his team, and follow-through along the length of the design process. He collaborates with his fellow designers to translate human needs and capture the collective emotional enthusiasm of whatever product, system, or interaction problem is put forth. You can expect Elliott’s work to explore those problems thoroughly with a visual and storytelling quality that captures and excites teams, clients, and users alike. Most recently, Elliott and I collaborated with a multi-function and geographically dispersed team to design the Pen for the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York. The half-year schedule of concept to reality meant quick and definitive decisions yet not compromising the design of a product immediately destined for an international design museum. Elliott led the design effort, continuously refining in the context of the envisioned museum experience and challenging the electronics and manufacturing teams to nail those qualities that ultimately led to the Pen’s recent release and high praise. The launch of the Pen testifies to Elliott as a designer and is yet another incredible piece of work in his burgeoning portfolio and career. As you read this and are considering Elliott within your organization, know that his trajectory as a design professional will most certainly add to your own."
