I worked alongside of Justin for nearly 5 years at Citrix on the Customer Experience team. He led our visual design and branding practice, mentored and managed team designers, and got his hands dirty in the design of our most strategic projects. I both admire and enjoy working with Justin. He has the highest integrity of anyone I have ever worked with - he walks the walk and holds himself accountable to the same high standards he expects of those he works with. He's very collaborative - he was the best of anyone at working across the many silos inevitable in an Enterprise company to try to meet goals in the interests of the company at large. I hope that someday we get to work together and collaborate again in the future. Any team would benefit from Justin's exceptional design sense and amazing leadership.

He’s positive and always has an awesome idea. When I get stuck, I grab Justin to help me solve the problem. No matter what project I’m working on, he always contributes great ideas and continuously inspires me as a designer! He’s contributed to the success of the entire team.

While not raising a red flag, he is able to calmly and collectively bring parties together on various cross-functional teams driving discussion and action.

Justin is great at breaking down bigger issues into chewable sizes. Sometimes pie-in-the-sky concepts can be intimidating and complicated, but Justin is great at leading the team to handle problems one step at a time. Under his guidance, the team is able to achieve a lot.

Justin is always willing to jump in and help on any project. He is not afraid to ask the hard questions and I love being paired with him on projects because he always keeps me thinking of the strategy value and vision.

I had the pleasure of working with Justin for several years. During that time, I noticed a couple of traits that I found to be rare and valuable. He has a strong work ethic and integrity. He doesn't let things slide, and would come to me to talk when he thought a project could be better or needed improving. He also continues to learn and grow. Justin is especially passionate about interactive work. Over time, he taught himself to become very good at motion graphics, web design, sound design etc. He was always the guy to go to to find out if something was possible. I cannot recommend Justin highly enough.
