He is incredibly talented both as a designer and as a leader in bringing great experiences to reality. He has the ability to communicate with engineers, product managers, and other non-designers in a way that makes design ideas understandable and highlights the importance of user experience. He is able to articulate design rationale in a way that's compelling and understandable to all. In doing so, he is able influence and bring people together to work towards a common goal of designing great user experiences. Ty is also open and willing to take feedback. This is not always true of designers, and his way of working builds trust and respect by showing he can discuss design without getting defensive and by being open to feedback. It's clear his aim is to come up with the best end result possible, and ego doesn't get in the way of this. In addition, Ty is great at leading and managing a team. He is very organized and thoughtful in his approach to design process and leads in a way that is both clear and direct yet leaves room for the designers to have the space to do their work. He has the ability to think about the big picture and long-term goals, then break this down into what this means for designers on a day to day basis – both perspectives are necessary to give people the right context to do their jobs, and he's able to provide this for them. I would jump at the chance to work with Ty again. He's personable, driven, and easy to collaborate with. It's great to be able to work with someone who is invested and passionate about the work they do.", and "I've had the pleasure of knowing Ty for the last 13 years and working with him for the last six years. I've seen him grow from an amazing designer to a great leader. As a designer, his ability to produce fully realized, smart, beautiful designs in such a quick manner is an amazing resource. He has produced a staggering body of work in his career, and when he isn't doing something work related, you can always count on him having a personal project going. This design proficiency affords him immediate respect as a manager and leader. On top of that, he knows how to balance challenging the people around him to be better with supporting and empowering them. He understands what it takes to get something built and how to work through all the compromises that are required to get a design from vision to reality. Overall, Ty is one of the most inspiring people I have ever worked with. He is an incredible designer, motivating leader, strong advocate for the user, and a smart business person. Any organization will immediately be better with him in a leadership role."
