Recognized leader

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing people, here are some of their thoughts on the experience.

“As a UX visionary, Everett cares deeply about the customer problem and demonstrated strong problem solving skills by designing the user experience that makes our tools intuitive and consistent.

As a manager, he leads by example and always finds ways to energize the team. He is a strong influencer that drives the growth of an organization. I have enjoyed working with Everett as my partner, mentor and friend!”.

“Creative, clever, and fun!. Those are the first words that come to mind when thinking of working with Everett.

He brings fresh perspective and energy to even the most rigorous or challenging of projects.”

 

– Christine Fiske, Audience Builder

Everett is a wonderful creative thinker, always pushing the envelope when it comes to stretching his imagination, and that of those he works with.

I can safely say that brainstorming, idea generation and insight synthesis, and sketching are his favorite activities and fortes!

 

– Brian Gillespie, Design Strategist

Two words to describe Everett: jazz hands.

Ok, two more: creative leader. Ev’s energy is both boundless and infectious. His “idears” (as he would say…) excite and inspire clients and peers alike.

He’s got a permanent place on my brainstorming dream-team…which is to say that I dream of working with him again!
