Concept Development
“Jan has been one of the best designers and researchers I worked with over my career. His attention to detail, empathy for the customer, and collaboration is second to none. We were separated by an 8+ hour time zone difference, but he made collaboration simple. We accomplished a lot on weekly calls, and our virtual whiteboards had new notes and mock-ups every day. He had great attention to detail on everything from competitive product analysis to creating personas with key use cases. All of which tied back to clear UX strategy and designs. He helped drive forward new UX paradigms in hearables and always had new insights to share as he tested and iterated on designs. I would work again with him in a heartbeat. ”
