Principle Designer @ Credera

I had the privilege of working with Ryan on the UHOne Design phase to develop the design for the Guide Me flow. He was absolutely fantastic to work with, and is by far the best designer I’ve worked with at Credera. His attention to detail, push for excellence, and ability to juggle both with deadlines and listening to our client change their minds semi-constantly, was amazing. He was always polite and collected when interfacing with our client stakeholders, who at times can be scattered and flustered, and always worked well with them to ensure they felt listened to and respected. He was also great at explaining his design decisions to internal and external teams with clear, concise language – a true skill that’s hard to come by in designers. His design work was excellent – creative, high quality, and delivered on-time for everyone else’s work to progress. He even went above and beyond in coding the Figma for functional testing in user tests, enough so that one of our key client stakeholders (a designer in her own right on their side) commented, “This prototype is amazing – I don’t even know how you got it to do some of these things!” when seeing Ryan’s work. Many, many kudos to Ryan – he is deserving of any and all accolades and rewards for his strong work. I would happily jump onto another project with him, knowing he will excel and exceed all expectations.
