Recommendations
(from people who i've hired, led, and made awesome stuff with)
He is an extremely well-articulated and thought-out individual. He supports his team, and product owners and engineering leads can also trust that his design leadership will be cognizant of their processes in product development and, ultimately, the best direction for the user experience within the end product.

Brendan invested first in us and went to bat for our needs, and he always ends up with fiercely loyal teams and networks as a result.
Roxanne Tomco
Content design COACH at uxcc
Brendan has a serious talent for hiring a team that is impactful and high performing, while building a culture that is fun, inclusive, and highly positive.
Alex Fallas
Time after time I saw Brendan advocate for our team and our user’s experiences, always backed by thoughtful strategy. He’s an excellent communicator and leader, who delivers great outcomes in the face of uncertainty.
Erika von Kelsch
He has an eye for identifying and hiring skilled people who work well with others, who contribute positively to the team dynamic, who are self-motivated and don't need a lot of hand holding. He does this quickly and under pressure and handles it with grace and without losing focus on his standards or his vision. The result is a happy team that comes to work ready for the day, every day.
Matt Fisher
senior content design at SAP
Everyone on our team knew Brendan had our backs and would go to bat for us whenever it was needed. I always looked forward to our 1:1s, as I knew Brendan could always give me candid advice on whatever situation I was facing.
Kai Takahashi
Brendan is a clutch combination of creative leader, strategic thinker, problem-solver and coach. I especially appreciated his ability to remain calm under pressure.
Carrie Ammermann
Director, Global Marketing Communications at prepass
His implicit trust in us inspired us to do great work. However, if we ever wanted any advice or input on projects, he would go out of his way to spend as much time as we needed with him. This approach was good for the individual employee, the team, and the company as a whole. I would highly recommend Brendan for any design leadership role, especially one that requires a strong grasp of multiple design disciplines.
