“I've had the pleasure of working with Jake over the last two years at Axon. During this time, we were on the same product team with the primary task of completely overhauling and redesigning the Axon Redaction product. Jake has done a great job working with the product teams to get results. I was impressed with his ability to work with teams both locally and abroad (in this case Vietnam) to get complex requirements built with accuracy and precision. His focused approach to both the minutia and big picture elements of a development cycle has unquestionably become one of his strongest attributes. From a design standpoint, Jake is a fantastic collaborator who isn't afraid to propose new or different ideas. We've spent countless meetings wireframing and brainstorming at the whiteboard; this hands-on approach makes him an easy person to work with and an equally impressive design ally. Furthermore, Jake has developed a great amount of aptitude around understanding user workflows and working with design to generate compelling and viable product solutions. Jake's ability to listen to users, observe their pain-points and drive towards solutions is extremely impressive. While we both received an immense amount of feedback during our time at Axon, I always appreciated his capacity to remain focused on the product goals, synthesizing as much of the given feedback into actionable steps for the team to take. Lastly, Jake is an all-around awesome person to work with. He's a great communicator, he listens to everyone willing to share their thoughts and has become a well-respected, product-minded leader who will unquestionably continue to ship awesome things. I highly recommend Jake for any team. ”

Exploring the Impact of Cognitive Style and Academic Discipline on Design Prototype Variability
American Society for Engineering Education
In this paper, we explore the impact of cognitive style and academic discipline on the variability of prototypes in design tasks. We studied engineering and non-engineering students as they completed a simple design, build, and test task using an egg-drop design challenge. The students' cognitive styles were assessed using the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI). Analysis revealed only slight differences between the engineering and non-engineering students in terms of cognitive style.
