Jacob joined the company well before me and was responsible for all aspects of design. He’s got a good eye, works fast, and has a keen sense of what users do and do not want. Every interaction I had with Jacob was positive and left me feeling like we were moving in the right direction. Given the quantity and variety of tasks set before him, all of which he excelled at, I believe Jacob gained a multiple of the experience he would have gotten in the same period at any other organization.
If you’re considering Jacob for a role at your company, please reach out to me directly for a recommendation. You’re gonna love having him on your team!

Jacob is an incredibly talented UI/UX designer. He always came up with excellent work, answered any questions us SWE's had, and is a super friendly person. You can tell he is incredibly intelligent and I think he could pick up any new concept or role very quickly. I would highly recommend Jacob and encourage you to hire him for any role he may apply to now or in the future!

I'd consider myself lucky to get the chance to work with Jacob again! In addition to having a great eye for user experience, he is excellent at communicating his designs between developers and stakeholders. From a dev perspective, I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with him to flesh out requirements, and he is enthusiastic about tackling difficult problems with a fresh perspective.

I had the pleasure of working with Jacob at Calloquy. I was on the marketing team and Jacob was always eager to contribute to our marketing efforts. His ability to bridge the gap between UI/UX design and marketing was invaluable, resulting in more engaging campaigns and a stronger online presence for our brand. I recall collaborating with Jacob when we were documenting our ESG efforts. Jacob’s explanation of our SaaS platform’s ADA and WCAG compliance standards evinced an enthusiasm and commitment that was both extraordinary and moving. He demonstrated an in-depth understanding of those guidelines and a keen eye for design details that make websites more inclusive. This in addition to an overall sophistication and perpetual optimism that made our platform and our company better.
Jacob's work ethic, creativity, and commitment to creating an accessible and visually stunning platform, combined with his marketing acumen, collegiality, perpetual optimism, and overarching kindness, make him a versatile and invaluable asset to any team. It was a pleasure to work alongside Jacob at Calloquy, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a UI/UX designer who is not only extremely adept at UI/UX, but compassionate, patient, and positively affable.

"That was fun." I constantly found myself thinking this after interacting with Jacob, from both a personal AND a professional stance. He is wonderful in his UI/UX work, and often times in walking through his decisions he would find the best ways to get you invested. It is this creativity that makes Jacob such a valuable asset to whatever he does. Creative in his designs, creative in his approach, creative in his speech, creative in his thoughts. It was truly a joy to have Jacob on my team.

As an employee, Jacob is endlessly enthusiastic about his work and applies that energy to the project at hand. He is consistently engaged at a deep level in understanding the different sides of the project in order to provide context for his work on behalf of the customer in the UI/UX area. Jacob has grown extensively in the brief two years at Calloquy, and it shows through his work product contributions in the development team and other areas.
On a personal note, Jacob enriches his peers with an infectious personality. He is always ready for new projects and operates with a "whatever it takes" mentality. I wholly recommend Jacob without reservation.
