Solver of gnarly problems, UX/Product Design, Sketchnoter, Digital Creator
“Ty has an incredible talent to cut through the noise and provide a solid design for what is exactly needed for a product. He has a holistic and long-term mindset that informs his day to day decisions. By far one of the best UX partners I’ve worked with.”

"If you want to get things done, you hire Ty. Ty strikes the right balance of design and front-end code. He is a designer who knows his medium very well, giving him the advantage to make sound design and technical decisions."

"Ty ... bridged a lot of gaps with stakeholders and navigated new and evolving process impressively on a large project we worked on. He’s great at providing valuable input and showing ownership for outcomes while still support business decisions."

"I have seen Ty come in and save whole projects because of his ability to translate a business need into a visual solution. His experience with mobile-first design has put him ahead of the curve compared to most other designers that I have worked with."
