Jacob is a talented designer and was a pleasure to manage. He brought a smile to work everyday and his positive attitude was infectious. He was always pushing his designs towards great outcomes for our customers, which often meant he was asking really good questions and looking for new insights. He was comfortable working by himself or collaborating with the team, and took direction well in both situations. His combination of design chops, soft skills and easy-going demeanor would make Jacob a great addition to any team.
