Design, User Experience, Branding

I was looking for some reaction and advice to an idea I have for a new shared professional knowledge app. Brian was very helpful with a lot of very good suggestions for taking my idea to the next step. He has a strong background in startups and is an advocate of Lean Startup.

Brian mixes fantastic design thinking with a remarkable pragmatism. His skillset—a blend of creative thinking and exceptional software skills—will make him a valuable asset wherever he lands.

At the beginning of January 2011, Brian had asked me if he could choose to work on an independent study for his Design Studio VI class. After reading his ambitious proposal on +oneauto and getting a taste of what his goals were, it was clear that he was driven and for him to continue with his personal project. Brian is a passionate and highly skilled interdisciplinary designer. His +oneauto project has proven that he is an innovator with visionary thinking. On top of his impressive design skills, he carries a great attitude with a friendly demeanour. Brian has the whole package and comes highly recommended by me.

I have taught Brian in three major design studios at NSCAD University. Brian's strength is that he is very proactive, passionate, engaged and achieves a very high professional level in the execution of his work.
