“As a Latina woman in the workplace, Josh was my biggest proponent and advocate. I have him to personally thank for so much of my growth in the past two years of my career. He not only was my manager, but also my mentor who would constantly open up his personal rolodex to let me network with some of the most powerful women in the industry- which was invaluable.
Not only is he an immensely talented designer, strategist and leader, but his passion and academia for UX exudes through his teams in everything they do. He is nurturing, empathetic, and cares deeply- which not only shines throughout the organization and work, but more importantly shows through the deep meaningful relationships he makes with everyone around him. Oh, and he's really fun to bring around Karaoke- that alone is a plus in my book.”

“Josh is a renaissance man. An extremely talented designer, web developer, marketer, draftsman, and musician, his work knows few boundaries and he has mastered many of the disciplines that a successful agency career calls for.
Having worked with Josh for many years, I quickly relied on his ability to turn typical assignments into something whimsical and inspiring. I've found that he flourishes under pressure and produces results that seem to draw from a deep well of creativity. His skills are not limited to the creative sphere - Josh can not only design and plan a digital campaign, but leverage his knowledge of HTML and CSS to execute his ideas and work with teams of developers to deliver projects that are exceptional.. I can easily see Josh succeeding in any venture he commits himself to. He is a prime candidate for any role that requires a creative vision, leadership and charm to succeed.”

“Josh is one of those people you enjoy working with, not only because he's a good dude with a good soul, he's so freaking smart you learn something from him every day. I learned a ton working with Josh. He's without a doubt a super talented UX designer and team leader. But more than that, he's a thinker and a theorist.
He's also a strategist. His analytical abilities are almost equal to his design abilities. His mind and his motor never stop running. He works incredibly hard, and you’d best have your brain in gear to keep up. But more than any of that, he's a natural born leader who knows how to bring the best out of his team.
You read about sports coaches who can mentor and bring players to the next level. That's Josh. Every single member of his team grew exponentially under his leadership, not just on their UX abilities, but their overall professional capabilities - confidence, presentation, driving a project, strategic insights and so on. He's an incredible person, an incredible leader. He's someone you look forward to working with every day. And the people who work for him, LOVE the experience.
I've never seen a team so loyal and inspired by a leader. I learned a great deal from Josh and rode his coattails on more than one occasion. If you have the opportunity to work with Josh, you should jump on it. But you gotta beat me to it (Ha).”
