“I've had the pleasure of working closely with Grant on numerous global, enterprise-impacting products and can confidently say he exemplifies what you want in a UX leader. He consistently brings a user-first mindset to every project, grounding his design decisions in solid research experience and real-world insights. Grant not only delivers thoughtful, effective user experiences, but he also elevates the team around him through collaboration, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to shared success. His ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution makes him an ideal candidate for a senior leadership role in UX.”

"I’ve had the unique opportunity to work with Grant across both professional and personal projects, and I can honestly say that few people have shaped the way I think about design and user experience more than he has. His ability to keep the end user at the center of every discussion fundamentally changed how I approach product design and delivery. One of the most remarkable things about Grant is how deeply he wants others to understand UX, not just apply it. Simply working alongside him taught me to be a more thoughtful, design-centered thinker, something that has advanced my own career in ways I never expected.

He also has a gift for translating complexity into clarity. I can’t count how many times I saw him take messy, multi-layered ideas and turn them into clean, elegant visuals that made leadership decisions not only easier, but better. His ability to visually communicate strategy and design intent is unmatched.

And above all, Grant holds himself to the highest standard of quality. If something had Grant’s name on it, you could trust that it was polished, intentional, and thoughtfully considered down to the last pixel. That kind of care and pride in his work made a huge impact on both the outcomes of our projects and the confidence of the teams around him."

"Grant and I worked together on the internal fulfillment "Flex" project at UL, where I was a technical leader in the software development team. It was clear during our time together that Grant is an expert in UX design. What I particularly appreciated was the simultaneous usability, technical feasibility, and beauty of his design work. He brought a clear, user-centered vision, and his thoughtful, collaborative approach made him quickly a trusted contributor on the project. Beyond his design expertise, Grant is incredibly personable, approachable, and a natural leader. He’d be a strong asset to any team or organization looking for a UX leader."

"Over the last five years I have had the pleasure to work with Grant multiple major UL internal applications. During that time, Grant has been consistently hard-working and driving quality results. I have seen him do this in the very collaborative environments and at times that were very difficult, so I am confident Grant can handle the good and bad aspects, whatever the job.

Grant has always been one of my favorite people to work with. I find working with him is easy - he is very knowledgeable, well organized, and his working sessions are collaborative and productive."

“Grant was able to take multiple points of input for a new internal fulfillment tool with competing views and create a proposal that created both excitement and confidence around the new tool.

His approach shifted the team’s mindset from apprehension, due to past experiences, to genuine enthusiasm. Grant was great!”

“Grant tackles challenging issues head-on with UL leadership, particularly concerning planning, deadlines, and expectations. He consistently takes full ownership of his work and fosters an exceptional team environment that encourages open communication and collaboration.

Additionally, Grant proactively takes initiative in leadership, project planning, personnel hiring, and assisting the team with critical design decisions. His significant experience in UX, UI, and project management greatly benefits the team.”

"I've worked with Grant as my UX manager for three years, and he exemplifies exceptional design leadership. His communication is outstanding – keeping our team aligned and informed as product priorities constantly evolve through real-time updates and strategic touch points.

​

What sets Grant apart is his commitment to team success. He actively contributes to pushing projects forward while demonstrating remarkable technical versatility – from managing our design system to leading strategic workshops and conducting research that drives product decisions.

​

Grant provides clear direction without micromanaging, creates space for team input, and genuinely advocates for work-life balance. His combination of empathetic leadership, strategic thinking, and technical expertise has earned him tremendous organizational respect. Working with Grant has been instrumental to my professional growth."

“Grant's leadership has made my time at UL meaningful for me. He has a great sense of when we need support and always makes time to check in without micromanaging. Working with Grant, whether it's about process or visual design you'll always find yourself learning something new and applicable for the future. He spots areas where I can improve and most importantly turns them into opportunities to grow.

His design feedback is specific and actionable, giving clear direction on where to go next. What I value most is how he genuinely understands each designer's unique strengths and communicates in ways that connect with us personally.”

“Grant fosters a collaborative and supportive team environment. For example, if one of our projects has a tight deadline, our team doesn't hesitate to help each other meet those timelines. And, if someone needs help developing a skill to get a deliverable done, he jumps in or finds someone that has those skills to help. He also creates space for teammates to share ideas and feedback to improve our designs and how we work. He helps drive clarity and structure when the team is faced with ambiguous requests or situations. He uses his product knowledge given his experience at UL, as well has his expertise in UX design and digital product development processes to help us navigate those situations more effectively.”
