I design & build digital products that work

I worked with Joel for over two years and I still consider myself very lucky to have an opportunity to work with such a talented and creative person. Joel loves his work and even with most complicated and often contradictory requirements never produced designs that fell short of wow factor. His calm and organized demeanor and very warm attitude make every interaction with him a pleasant experience.

Joel is very passionate about not only producing amazing looking designs that work great on all devices, but also making designs that users understand and love. He loves testing designs in real focus groups and constantly trying to collect feedback from users to make sure his work is nothing but perfect. I really enjoy working with Joel and he is really an amazing designer.

Joel is a top-tier UI/UX talent. I was repeatedly impressed with how quickly he could move from requirements to polished mockups that made everything easy from there forward - from user testing to product build-out.

Joel is a rare combination of being extremely creative yet without the ego - he still gets that great UI/UX it's completely about the customers.

I worked with Joel over the past two years, and I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, highly creative and passionate to drive the user experience to a whole new level.

He has extraordinary UI/UX skills and translates requirements quickly into impressive and user-tested product designs. He understands to work in an user-centric, agile, fast-paced, iterative environment.

Joel was the Design Team Director at Wizeline, and also my manager. Today, I have to thank him for showing me how a real manager behaves. Despite the 12 hours of time difference separating us, he was always available to support my career growth and help with the design challenges.

I really appreciated his transparency in communication, reliability, and commitment with each team member. I learned a lot from his design expertise and his management skills to cheer up the team, despite the uncertainty of the pandemic and company changes.

Joel has been an especially important person in my career and personal development.

When I joined Wizeline, we were both design peers and shortly after he became my mentor and then my manager. I’ve learned most of what I know from him. He would never hesitate to give constructive feedback to help anyone grow even when it’s difficult and uncomfortable, always keeping it direct, actionable, and human.

He’s a brilliant design leader and entrepreneur, knows about any methodology and tools for Software Development and Product Design. Joel is also great at organizing and facilitating Design Strategy workshops and aligning a team tactically to execute. He’s passionate about continuously learning and teaching others, he is always learning from new books, material, and tools, and putting them in to practice.

I still reach out to him for career advice and mentorship and can call him a friend. I hope we can cross paths again in the future.
