— Kind words

""Brandon joined our team as the sole Product Designer dedicated to our Design System in order to refine and grow the new system. I was impressed with how quickly he got to know the team and problems. He took initiative to get to know all the Product Designers and set up a repeatable survey to benchmark our Design System. He used innovative methods to drive consensus among the design team and get buy-in for changes. He also became close with the engineers quickly, in part due to his technical knowledge and in part due to his excellent sense of humor. Brandon was an asset to our Design System and I wish he could still be part of our team."
