“Jay is an extremely talented UI/UX designer, leader, and learner. Jay is great at coaching and working alongside the whole team to make them better. He is and would be a valuable leader to any design organization.”

“You'd never know how talented a designer Jay is based on his ego (or lack thereof). As the Creative Director at PointSource, his design advocacy helped the design team flourish to a core offering within the company. Jay was a great advocate to have on my side. He's endlessly creative, has great attention to detail, and is excellent at communicating design concepts and feedback (I love Jayisms). Jay showed a great balance of trust and support. He was always involved when I needed his guidance, while also giving me room to grow. Jay would be an incredibly talented, humble, and positive role model to any design team he is a part of (he sure was with me).“
