Sheriff J.
Senior Product Designer
I worked with Ryan on our product design team, where he played an important role in improving our design system and defining the admin feature set of our product. Ryan's a great collaborator and has a great bias-to-action. He often sought and integrated feedback and up-skilled himself on the job, always looking for ways to enhance his craft.
His primary focus was on the administrative features of our SaaS workplace experience app, where he delivered user-friendly, intuitive designs that aligned with product goals. He has a strong design sensibility, growth mindset, and ability to simplify complex workflows.
Jen J.
Senior PM
Ryan and I worked together, where we worked closely with engineering and research to build admin capabilities into a greenfield enterprise surveying app. This was an area of the product that was identified as critical for promoting increased adoption and retention, but in which there was also a lot of ambiguity and competing priorities. Ryan navigated these challenges with grace and an open mind, helping the team arrive at a streamlined and forward-thinking experience which directly contributed to increased use and customer retention.

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan for several admin components of Pulse. He is detail-oriented, adept at managing trade-offs, and extremely responsive.
His quick adjustments after multiple rounds of product iterations kept our projects on track. I highly recommend Ryan as a UX Designer. Ryan’s dedication and high-quality designs make him an invaluable asset to any team.

Senior Product Designer
Ryan is a self-starter who takes initiative and ownership of his work. He is a collaborative team member, always willing to share his ideas and incorporate feedback. Ryan quickly became a valued contributor, taking on the UX of the complex content admin area. He demonstrated a strong ability to understand design systems, create his own, and integrate them into his work.
Beyond his technical skills, Ryan is a positive and enthusiastic team member. Ryan has a bright future in UX, and I am confident he will be a valuable asset to any team.
Yvonne C.

Ryan and I worked together on the same design team. It was a pleasure collaborating with him—he's not only an exceptional team member but also someone who actively seeks growth opportunities and new challenges.
Additionally, Ryan made significant contributions to our toolkit team by expanding our design resources beyond our immediate group, which benefited Microsoft's broader design team. His collaborative nature and deep commitment to his craft make him a valuable asset to any team.
Skills that pay the bills
A wide-ranging skillset developed over my design career
Design on my mind
My product design philosophy is rooted in a focus on uncovering what’s truly needed, and shaping clarity from complexity. The best way to achieve this is through research, cross-functional collaboration and balance.
I thrive on finding a middle ground between design decisions that weigh user value and business impact.
This has helped me to create coherent designs that not only function seamlessly but also drive measurable outcomes at scale.
