Doug is a brilliant creative. At Zenkey I depended heavily on Doug's creative prowess and his ability to manage, lead his team. As the director of UX, I witness Doug's collaboration skills first-hand. What I've come to appreciate the most are his level-headed approach, fresh perspective and Doug's hands-on approach to UX. Doug has also introduced many tools to Zenkey which further improved the collaboration between creatives and engineering. You can expect great work, amazing collaboration, forward thinking ideas and outstanding leadership from him.

Director of Product Management, Product Alchemist, ZenKey
Doug and his team were excellent partners in launching highly secure mobile application aimed to disrupt the identity access management market. He and his team were always there to support the company in their ever-changing priorities and consistently delivered high-quality work on time and without drama. Every job delivered resulted from usability research, professional design, and the user on top of mind. The work was backed by quantitative information that helped ZenKey to make the right decisions.
On the personal side, Doug always had a pleasant (almost soothing) demeanor that I sincerely appreciated in such a hectic environment. He was a great partner, and I am looking forward to working with him in the future.

Head of Design, TIAA
I had the pleasure of working with Doug for several years when he was a principal designer on my team. Doug is smart, hard-working, and a consummate pro. He's a throwback in many ways to old school UX design, a multi-tool player but in my experience, he is at his core a strong information architect who spends the time to thoroughly understand both the business problem and the user needs, to render clean, highly usable designs. Doug is a great addition to any team.
Eddie Davis

Doug knows his business. He's completely fluent in UX/UI and able to translate business and user goals into sets of requirements and designs that developers can easily understand and implement, and end-users find intuitive. He's also a very genuine and compassionate person who seeks to understand his coworkers and work with them the way they wanted to be worked with, always with an eye toward the overall strategy of the company.

Working with Doug as been one of the highlights of my recruiting career. He values our partnership and is committed to working with me. In the 2+ years I've known Doug, he has been nothing but an incredible professional, fun person to communicate with and just an overall great person to know. On a more professional side, Doug is a subject matter expert in all things User Experience. Not only is he a creative genius when it comes to this environment but he pairs it with a highly collaborative approach and leadership qualities. Doug is a true impact player and will be an immediate value add to any organization.
