Brandon was the first hire I made into my team—and every day after I was reminded how lucky I was to have him on our team. As a designer Brandon brings a natural affinity for storytelling, a photographer's eye for visuals, a trained editorial voice, and a sensitive and thoughtful empathy for his users. He carved out a unique spot on our team as the person who could handle the odd projects—the ones that had no clear path to success or completion—and find a way to thrive. He is highly collaborative, and sought out ways to learn from his teammates but also found ways to teach what he knew. He is a gift to any UX team, and I was lucky to work with him.

Brandon became a subject matter expert on every product he touched, I always believed that a UX strategist should be just as involved and knowledgeable as any product owner. He embedded himself with the teams he worked with and was always an invaluable asset. So much in fact, product owners would fight for his time and his talent. A good leader once told me that the key to leadership success was to place absolute trust in the people you lead. Give them direction, but let them lead you. Brandon led me more than he knew. He's a kind person, a hard worker, a brilliant designer and a friend.
Jason Luna
Director of Product & Design at Indy
I really do believe that Brandon is one in a million. He's constantly learning, growing, and teaching. He's innovative, helpful and kind. I literally saw Product Managers fight over him as a resource (this is not an exaggeration)! If a fellow visual designer wasn't around, I knew I could count on Brandon for feedback that would always make my designs 100x better as he has a detailed and seasoned eye, and phenomenal taste. He makes every team he's on better, and I can't recommend him enough.
Rashmi Lopez
Creative Director at CareRev
Brandon KNOWS how to make things work. I've known him for a long time, and all of his work never ceased to amaze me. Aside from being a wizard with creative design, he is a paladin when it comes to strategy. Other coworkers (myself included) would often joke about how precise, and well-thought-out his decision-making was. We are obviously jealous of that ability.
