Larry Chen Email & Phone Number

Larry Chen is a Director of Product Design at Yahoo. Colleagues describe him as "Passionate and connected about our ever changing mobile world and the technology that it entails, Larry fosters this energy and drives measurable results through effective collaboration and successful designs. Mentioning that he understands the industry, can pixel push and prototype to perfection is an understatement — Larry is an innovative creative visionary with innate design sensibilities. In addition, he provides valuable support and guidance to our peers and to our organization, from conceptualization through final shipping products, all while maintaining a humble and playful attitude. Very capable of establishing systems and a robust design vocabulary, Larry is an advocate for simplicity and what it means towards better user experiences. I've been fortunate to work with such a talented designer in Larry Chen, and I highly recommend him.", "I'm not really sure where to begin because I only have good things to say about Larry. I was lucky enough to have has the pleasure of working very closely while at Garmin and would recommend him not only as an amazingly talented designer, but also as a great overall person whose always a pleasure to be around. Whenever Larry was given a task, he would take it on right away and produce beautiful work before you've even finished asking him what you want. He continually impressed me with the work he did and the speed and quality with which it was done. He is also very skilled at converting his designs to usable and clean HTML and CSS and can even do some programming if it is asked of him. Besides all of this, Larry is a great friend and a source of happiness in any group of people with his light-hearted attitude and his ability to connect with anyone with his smile and laugh. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any team and will actually attempt to steal him for my next project, so don't get too attached.", and "Larry is nothing less than a superstar. From hammering out mockups rapidly, to tweaking styles in front of your eyes: he has a perfect blend of web design aesthetic and CSS/HTML abilities. He doesn't even need his own workstation; because whenever a request is made he can sit at your desk and fix it while you get a cup of coffee. He was instrumental in Garmin Connect's design to be simple and accessible to the masses, and therefore a core reason why the site has grown as much as it has. He also makes the office environment a fun place to be. I would hire him in an instant."
