Justin Hannon

“I have never seen someone accelerate so quickly in their skill level as Justin. I would have zero qualms about recommending Justin for a senior designer position. Justin was put through the ringer a doze times at Nerd. He was often given large projects with short return times. Although that is a situation I consider to be unacceptable for a designer, Justin worked hard, grew fast, and produced results. He produced more designs in months than I’ve seen other designers produce in two years while still maintaining a high level of quality. He got put through the crucible and came out strong. Justin has always had an eye for UI design and graphic elegance I would love to have. He not only has a firm pulse on the best UX practices, but is smart enough to back hem up with research and not just follow a popular trend. Justin is a real collaborator, at first a great receiver of mentorship, and now a great to deliverer of mentoring. I couldn’t recommend Justin enough for any company looking for a highly skilled, qualified, collaborative, and amiable UX and UI Designer.

“I had the opportunity to work alongside Justin for about two years during our time at Nerd United. Though we were on different teams, Justin was ALWAYS someone I felt I could go to for solid UX advice. He is extremely collaborative, hard-working, and detail oriented, and he is a pleasure to work with. I have always admired how well he is able to take a variety of opinions, research, data points, ad best practices to create something that solves the user’s problem in the best way. He doesn’t get defensive over his designs (which is a trait I REALLY think more designers need to have) and always pushes for the best solution. His work is always very high quality. You’ll be very lucky if you get the chance to work with him!”

“I've had the privilege of working alongside Justin during our time at Nerd, and his performance has been truly outstanding. Throughout our collaboration, we frequently encountered tight deadlines, which Justin consistently managed with remarkable skill and composure. What sets him apart is not only his capacity to keep up with this demanding pace but also his astute ability to identify future pitfalls and troubled areas that will require further attention and refinement.

Justin has repeatedly demonstrated his adaptability and a willingness to embrace change, particularly during our journey ground zero to a successful launch. His relentless work ethic and design expertise have been instrumental in taking our projects from concept to reality. It's my belief that Justin's blend of dedication and design prowess will be a valuable asset to any team fortunate enough to have him on board.”

“Justin was one of the most impressive and hardworking designers on our team. I worked with Justin for about a year and a half at Nerd United and I was consistently impressed with his dedication and reliability. Justin is a designer who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver high-quality work. He has an exceptional work ethic and a meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in every project they take on. Whenever I would ask for help or feedback on my own designs, Justin was quick to notice inconsistencies and give great advice on how to fix it.

Justin has an amazing ability to meet deadlines, stay organized, and produce appealing designs. I could always rely on Justin being in the office and hard at work at producing a wonderful product for the team. He is a valuable asset to any design team, and I wholeheartedly recommend Justin for any design-related position.”

“Justin was always proactive in getting his work completed in a timely fashion, at times with little to no instruction needed. While working autonomously, he would produce mountains of work while maintaining very high quality -- a unique ability in the design industry. I was constantly suprised at his vision of where to take each new product feature, as well as his sense of good aesthetics. He also was always working to improve.”

“Justin's commitment to creating a clean and polished user experience, along with his attention to detail, speaks volumes about his professionalism. It's impressive that he actively stays updated on industry standards and best practices to ensure the user experience is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and meaningful.

The fact that Justin has successfully worked on a variety of designs, ranging from simple information displays to complex shopping experiences, showcases his versatility and proficiency in the field. Being detail-oriented is a crucial trait in design, and Justin excels in this aspect.

Moreover, his qualities as a team member are commendable. Open communication and collaboration contribute significantly to a positive work environment. Justin's generosity in sharing knowledge and helping others grow is a valuable asset to any team. The kindness and thoughtfulness he brings to communications further enhance the overall team dynamic.

Justin is skilled in his craft, and also possesses the interpersonal qualities that make him a great team player. He contributes not only to the project's success but also to the growth and well-being of his colleagues. It has been a great pleasure working with him this past year and a half.”

“Justin is easily one of the most talented, hard-working, diligent UX/UI designers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is amazing at working with stakeholders and delivering timely designs in a clear way in their appropriate fidelity as well as providing his own ideas and designs that achieve the goal of the project. Not only is Justin an amazing designer, he is fun to work with and makes the workplace a better place.”

“Justin is the rare type of ego-free designer that you want to hire before another company beats you to him. Not only does Justin create amazing user experiences, but he keeps up with what's going on in the industry.

Additionally, Justin builds strong working relationships. He is extremely cooperative with internal associates and works harmoniously and effectively with other design staff members. Justin always performs successfully despite sudden deadlines and changing priorities.”

“Not all UX designers are created equal. Justin has a knack for phenomenal design, and spends his free time learning about best practices in the usability/design space. He was regularly able to pump out high quality designs and was good at working with devs directly to clarify his work. He was also one of the few designers that survived multiple layoffs at our company and there was a reason for it.”
