Justin S.
Principal Design Manager @ Microsoft
I had the privilege of managing Ryan from 2022 to 2025, and I was consistently impressed with his performance and impact during this period. Ryan possesses an innate understanding of design and business needs, and he is a pleasure to work with, bringing positivity and enthusiasm to every project.From the very beginning, Ryan demonstrated an exceptional ability to identify gaps and flaws in products, features, and business decisions. He quickly mastered the use of design to highlight these issues and propose effective solutions. He would be a welcome addition to any team, offering unique perspectives and fostering inclusive partnerships across job functions to anticipate customer needs while meeting core business objectives.

Engineering Manager @ Microsoft
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.
Jen J.
Senior PM @ Microsoft
Ryan and I worked together at Microsoft Viva, 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. Ryan is a great partner, able to balance business goals with customer needs, and I hope to work with him again in the future!
