Client Testimonials

Ryan absolutely crushed this project. We started with a super basic, kind of bland design and he's completely transformed it into one of the best-looking platforms I’ve ever seen. It seriously looks and feels like a proper, premium product now. He nailed the exact vision I had in mind for the design style - clean, modern, premium, dark theme, and brought it to life better than I imagined. Plus, he's super easy to work with, quick to respond, and open to feedback the whole way through. Couldn’t be happier with how it's going. If I could hire Ryan full-time I would.

Ryan is a great product designer and thought partner in designing the new provider and client flow for my mental health application. I shared my design document highlighting the current flows of the application, current features, and future features. Ryan was able to take that document and turn it into clickable prototype. Ryan attended meetings on time, delivered more screens than requested but were very necessary, and was an excellent sparring partner. He was a pleasure to work with. He takes the initiative to request feedback, showing that he is open to growth. Excellent at communication and very organized. Would recommend him to others searching for a product designer with experience in the healthcare industry. If you are looking for a designer with a founder mindset, Ryan is your guy.

We had a terrific experience with Ryan. He's talented, motivated, and has good taste. His communication is also superb.Perhaps my favorite part about working with Ryan was that he was upfront about the areas of design where he was looking to gain more experience, as well as the areas that he knew well. For the former, he would often research on his own time. That's the kind of relationship that we hope for in full time employees, and we were thrilled to find it here. We look forward to staying in touch with Ryan in the future!
