Design Leader,
Principal UX Designer

I've enjoyed working closely with Richard over the past two years. As a Principal UX Designer, he masterfully combines user needs with business goals, resulting in highly intuitive and impactful designs. Richard is a fantastic collaborative partner and is exceptional at bridging gaps between departments.

Not only is Richard technically skilled, but he's also an exceptional mentor. He's played a pivotal role in fostering growth and promoting a culture of innovation within the UX/Product/Eng teams. In an ever-evolving industry, Richard consistently remains ahead of the curve, driving excellence in every project he touches.

If you ever get the chance to work with Richard, I highly recommend taking it. He's a true asset to the UX field.

Richard has been my UX design mentor since 2020. He helped me navigate a career change from visual design to UX design and helped me find the perfect design role to grow in.

His mentorship has been invaluable in my career growth. In our meetings, he always has big ideas that continually elevate the quality of my design work. He’s also helped me approach difficult situations by breaking down complex projects and focusing on the most impactful elements. Every conversation with him I leave armed with new tools or ideas to explore. He’s such a knowledgeable designer and provides the space for growth, support, and mentorship that also makes him a strong leader.

I had the opportunity to work with Richard at Knock for two years and was continuously impressed by Richard’s dedication to finding not only the best solutions for our customers through user experience, but also improving the design collaboration process within our organization. In order to discover the right strategy for the projects we worked on, Richard sought out conversations with multiple business units, resulting in the creation of better user experiences and improved internal workflows. He’s always willing to provide support to help discover requirements, visualize workflows, and strategize with the team.

In addition to being able to create great designs, Richard also set up design systems for other designers and engineers to utilize. Richard’s experience working with engineering teams also made our collaboration on UX and UI design very enjoyable and created great results for our projects. We were able to iterate quickly to determine the best solution to support both the design/UX as well as engineering tech. In many of these conversations Richard also challenged the tech, allowing engineers to re-evaluate alternative ways of delivering the best experience to users. We were able to bounce ideas, discuss ad-hoc changes during build process and overall collaborate really well.

I believe anyone looking for a fantastic UX designer, great team collaborator, and a leader in user experience would be lucky to have Richard on their team!
