What my clients say…

Jason is an experienced design leader. He is passionate about catalyzing the creative growth of his colleagues and the broader community. I particularly appreciate the joy and humor he brings to his work. I've benefited tremendously from Jason's creative judgment and would love to collaborate with him again in the future.

MM, Innovation Lead

Jason is an amazingly knowledgeable designer, and takes great pleasure in teaching what he knows to others. As design lead I found him to be not only a good resource for direction and strategy as it related to my projects, but also for me personally as a designer. He's always eager to teach and offer advice, but he knows when to step back and let a designer trust his own instincts. That's an uncommon trait, and a welcome one.

TE, User Experience Designer

Jason certainly and repeatedly proved he has the ability to conceive and execute killer online user experiences. And what is most impressive about Jason is his clear role as a thought leader in the realm of Web standards. He firmly believes in technology and design elegantly coming together for consumers and is the real deal relative to how to leverage CSS and code to achieve excellence in the presentation layer.

PR, Digital Strategist & CEO

Jason develops strong, trusting relationships with different teams, and takes personal accountability to ensure that he provides high levels of project delivery and operational support. He has a balance of business and IT knowledge, understands business needs, and translates them into UI/UX world. Jason brings a warm, pleasant demeanor to his role, and is liked and respected by his teammates. I would highly recommend Jason as he is a great asset to any organization!

NG, Portfolio Manager

Jason has been a top rated speaker at many conferences and events. His ability to take concepts and ideas and relate them to a specific audience is a special gift and I look forward to seeing this capability blossom as he moves forward in his career. The fact that he is always working on the next book or workshop idea and following through on them is testament that Jason believes that our ideas are meant to be shared — a trait that will make any attendee, co-worker, company and industry all the better. I am happy that I've had the privilege to work with and get to know Jason and recommend that others do the some.

PE, Founder & CEO

Jason is an incredibly creative teacher who uses engaging and effective storytelling methods to convey important UX principles. Through the use of simple animations, I learned a lot about the art of storytelling and how to use it to create compelling user experiences. Additionally, Jason's course helped me improve my presentation skills, which has been invaluable in my career. Overall, I can confidently say that Jason is an outstanding instructor who has made a lasting impact on my understanding of storytelling and user experience design.

CS, UX Student

I would highly recommend Jason as a professor. The lessons he taught have stayed with me as I gone through my professional career, and I can't thank him enough for the opportunities he's provided.

PK, UX Student

I've had the pleasure of having Jason as a professor during my last year at Drexel. He taught a class on Storytelling and UX. The skills, methods and frameworks he shared with me were instrumental in getting my first few jobs after school. Two areas that really stood out to me were elements of storytelling and how we could create a compelling narrative arc, and how to create journey maps that could be valuable in the design process.

PK, UX Student

Jason and I had a great session! He listened to where I am at and provided two approaches for me to choose from. We did an exercise using design thinking to resolve my career problems. I look forward to seeing the outcome of this journey!

LL, Sr UX Designer

As a mentor Jason has provided invaluable insight for my career journey. Our sessions have helped me set career goals that are actionable and inspiring. His knack for asking effective questions and analytical approach to problem solving has helped me learn to clearly identify the most important factors in the work I want to pursue, and the steps I can take to arrive there.

AG, Visual Designer

Jason helped me define my objectives, and listened patiently. His structured approach and thoughtful questions made it feel like a true partnership. He took the time to understand my background and experience, making a concerted effort to know the kind of a person I am. It is a pleasure to have a mentor who is knowledgeable and kind :)

PB, Design Consultant

Jason is fantastic! He helps you understand the root of your motivations in your career goals and is an awesome wordsmith! He's incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I'm looking forward to future sessions.

BC, Art Director

Jason is a superb mentor. He is experienced and professional, offering valuable insights, actionable advice, and incredibly helpful tips. His guidance has made a lasting, meaningful impact, particularly in helping me navigate my career path. I genuinely recommend him to anyone.

APR, Product Designer

Jason provided me with genuine feedback on my career path, and we had a great conversation about the design industry. His insights inspired me to explore design and technology further.

YH, Design Student

I am truly excited to have the opportunity to speak with such a mature professional as Jason! He answered my questions keenly, gave examples from his own experience and provided valuable insights. Absolutely recommend him as a mentor!

AB, Product Designer

Speaking with and conducting a mock interview with Jason has truly helped me feel more calm and confident. As a professional with decades of experience in the design industry, Jason offers me—a recent graduate from grad school—a refreshingly different and relaxed perspective. I recommend Jason to anyone who needs a boost of calm and confidence!

KJ, Architectural Student

Working with Jason has really helped me refine the language I'm using in my communications and to better sell my skills. I highly recommend Jason to anyone in the design field needing someone to riff with or receive direction from.

TS, Sr. UX Designer

Jason’s knowledge about the field is so vast, you can throw anything at him and he’ll hit you with a big list of well-thought out ideas. 45 minutes went by in a jiffy. He is incredibly articulate and as a junior designer, this is exactly the guidance I needed. I look forward to learning more from him.

TR, UX Designer

Jason's been awesome in helping me with my design portfolio. He looked at my work and gave me thorough feedback and really good advice on how to improve it. We also discussed salary negotiation and interview preparation as I'm currently in the job search. What truly sets Jason apart is his motivational approach. His encouragement and positive reinforcement have been a driving force. Jason's openness to discussing all facets of design creates a rich learning environment where ideas flow freely.

RA, Product Designer

Jason was amazing in many ways, but especially being receptive to the huge amount of questions I had and giving me great insight that only someone with his experience would have. I highly recommend doing a session with him, and I look forward to our next convo.

MD, Product Designer
