I didn't do all of this alone
You can't achieve success by yourself. The successes I've had over my career have been because I was able to work with amazing teams who helped me not only grow as a designer and strategist, but also as a leader.

Vance is a consummate professional. He cares deeply for the user, focusing not only on what they need & want but also what they never knew to ask for. His design skills are only rivaled by his research skills, where he always delivers excellent results.
Jaime Winkler
Executive VP, Business Transformation
Vance has a unique ability to interpret & articulate a complex problem or idea into something easily digestible by all audiences. He has an unparalleled work ethic & standard of excellence, coupled with the patience & empathy it takes to truly generate understanding & momentum. You can count on him in a pinch & he's inspired me to be better everyday.
Teresa Cuddy
Director, Product Development
It was a gift to work alongside Vance, joining him during the early stages of the User Experience Design team. Over time, I watched him put in tons of effort to establish solid team foundations, build a design system, support many teams on challenging design initiatives, and raise company UX maturity to executive levels.
Melvin Latham

Ever had a mentor support you by taking a college course with you because of your fear of public speaking? Vance did! He has always provided honest feedback and gave the best advice. His continued support, encouragement, and belief in me has made a significant impact on my professional development.
