People I've built with

Blair is naturally curious and always looking for better ways to work. When we started exploring AI-supported workflows, he was the catalyst.

He led the implementation of our design system framework, creating a scalable foundation that improved consistency, collaboration and the way we build products.

Blair is, without question, the best UX designer I've had the pleasure of working with. What stands out most is how genuine his focus on the end user is.

He can mock up several distinct directions faster than most people settle on one, which meant our teams were able to test genuine options rather than debate assumptions.

Blair operates across many levels and excels in them all. He's easily the designer with the best communication skills I've worked with.

He shares information proactively, is consistently one step ahead of engineers' needs, and helped build a design-system foundation that will continue to deliver value.
