General Education
I really enjoy working with Matt and think he's an extremely talented designer. I enjoy that he looks for ways to push limits and challenge current standards. Matt is collaborative and always takes feedback from marketers or other stakeholders, but he's not afraid to ask questions, challenge opinions, or insert his expert opinion if a suggestion doesn't align. He works well with groups with strong opinions and can strike the balance between listening and informing to produce the best result. Matt is also very responsive and has quickly been able to turn high-priority items or make quick updates to existing items when necessary.
I personally enjoyed working with Matt. He is a skilled designer with a solid grasp of UX principles and design practices. His talent, diligence and attention to detail were excellent contributions to the creative process and final product. He is open to suggestions and improvement, a quick study and self-learner. Matt easily gets along with everyone and will succeed on any team with any number of personalities.
Matthew is a very reliable team member. He is always very responsive, completes work on time and with great attention to detail. He is personable, well-liked, and often goes above and beyond his assigned tasks. Matthew often helps with training of other members of the creative team as well, lending a hand to those that are new to the company.
Matt is dependable, reliable, and always willing to help. He is good at managing time, as well as balancing projects with different priorities. He communicates and collaborates well on all of his projects/tasks. Takes guidance well and also guides others. He's a great colleague to bounce ideas off of and gives honest feedback.
Matthew is without question the absolute, bar none hardest worker I’ve collaborated with in my eight years at [Company]. He’s astonishingly quick and efficient, but he’s not slamming stuff out just to move it. Matthew always considers all angles for success – to an extremely granular degree – and moreover, he’s usually adding quality to the equation. He’s always looking at how we can deliver on best practices. And he will always take time to navigate and troubleshoot complex matters, something that's critically important on a constant basis with our website platform. Matthew is exceptionally sharp and creative, and he always comes through in a pinch.
