We hired him directed from the University of Michigan’s HCI master program, where he built a solid foundation and skill set around user-centered design. At Elavon, he was able to quickly learn, possess, and execute our design practices with great quality, including user research, ideation, wireframing, prototyping, and design validation. Jay is a great team player, he constantly gives and solicits feedback from other designers and the cross-functional teams to improve his design, build consensus and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced agile environment. Being Jay’s direct manager, it was amazing to see his willingness to learn and his growth in the past year. Beyond focusing on tactical design deliverables, Jay started to take a holistic approach to his work, and developed a deeper understanding of end-to-end user experience design and information architecture. He demonstrated a strong sense of ownership, proactively looking for areas to improve on Converge Mobile project, documented research plan and next-step UX changes, and also built up the confidence and found his voice with the team to turn those design recommendations into customer satisfaction. I would recommend Jay to any teams that are looking for an impactful UX designer."
