"I worked with TJ on a multi-brand Headless project. TJ is a great UX/UI designer who thrives when collaborating. He was able to work on the start of the project, onboard another designer that was coming in to help, and then seamlessly work with them as people moved in and out of the project. In addition, he worked well within the constraints of a robust design system to produce work that was very usable for developers but still met the clients design goals. He is very good at pivoting and takes feedback extremely well, whether from client or fellow team member."
