“Chad is a results-driven, system-minded designer who successfully balances urgency-for-action with craft and quality of delivery. He brings his proven entrepreneurial experience to everything he does. Never satisfied with “what is”, Chad is always thinking 3 steps ahead to an experience vision of where his product can go, the potential value it can deliver, and the steps to get it there. Chad brings an ever growing toolbox of user-centered design practices and craft-expanding tools, to deliver gorgeous designs that deliver results. He’s most happy when mixing user insights with deep analytics to relentlessly interrogate both his new ideas and in-market products. Working within a small PDE trio or collaborating across an organization, Chad’s infectious positivity and “let’s do it” attitude makes him the go-to - when the chips are down and it needs to get done. In working with Chad - I feel incredibly fortunate to have such a capable and inspiring partner.”
