“Aside from his exceptional design skills, Dock also has a very personable nature, which gives him the ability to connect with team members, and stakeholders, making him a wonderful collaborator in any project. He possesses a natural talent for teaching and sharing knowledge. He went above and beyond to mentor and guide me, and others, helping the team grow and excel. It was an honor to work with him on projects, and witness his ability to translate complex concepts into intuitive and visually compelling customer experiences.”

"Dock is a stellar UX designer with an inventive vision for implementing changes in the Amazon and Alexa mobile apps and Echo smart devices that prioritized customer benefit. Dock contributed significantly to the culture of our design team and cross-functional teams. His product ownership and tactical design craft are excellent and Dock's ability to force-multiply by collaboration through workshops, design critiques, and working sessions would make him an outstanding addition to any design team."

“Dock is not afraid to take a challenge head on, roll with the punches, and do his best to find solutions that work not only for him, but everyone involved while prioritizing the user. Dock is personable, passionate, and doesn’t let ego get in the way of the task at hand, making him an invaluable addition to any team in need of a designer.”

“Dock has been such a quick study, jumping into the middle of our Extreme Event Management tool design phase and then going through a re-org, leaving him as the main designer working with us! He learned everything about the Instacart ecosystem and how our team operates within various pieces of it VERY quickly. His understanding of our pain points informed really clean designs that our team is excited to see in production down the road. He also collects feedback as we go (always very openly!), allowing room for changes as they are needed (like how to pivot when we learn that map work will take many months to build). Through all these changes, Dock has a positive outlook and doesn't let it discourage him - he empathizes with us and keeps going. We appreciate you, Dock!”

“I was blown away by the human-centered approach and remarkably user-friendly design that the Live Ops and Event Management team applied to their vision to prevent revenue loss and customer frustration by efficiently and accurately intervening in disruptions to our fulfillment operations due to emergencies. This work in particular is a fantastic embodiment of our mission and purpose of food access.”
