Testimonials
Jesse is a professional and extremely knowledgeable UX professional, and I've had the opportunity to collaborate with him on accessibility and design for a flagship product. Jesse's communication is excellent and he will always help the team understand the 'why' rather than just the 'what'. I've learnt a lot from Jesse during my time and appreciate that he made himself available (given that we were on different sides of the Atlantic!). His input on the product I was working on bought with it much needed UX improvements (some you wouldn't even notice unless you have an eye for detail like Jesse). I cannot recommend Jesse highly enough and wish him all the best in his career.
It has been a true joy to work with Jesse and witness him honing his craft and passions over the last several years. Jesse has developed a vast set of skills and tools to deliver exceptional experiences on our websites and other digital properties. He was a champion and leader within the organization for all things accessibility related, not only educating teams on the value of accessible design but implementing it as well. I hope to work with Jesse again in the future.
