Context is everything

All problems exist in a larger ecosystem. So, I start every project by mapping out the forest before diving into the trees.

Design for how people think

The human mind is the medium of every design. That's why I study cognitive and behavioral psychology to better understand how to make my designs "brain-friendly".

Diversify your mental toolbox

I have a latticework of mental models synthesized from multiple fields (journalism, persuasion, psychology, neuroscience).  Because the more tools you have, the more problems you can solve.

I owe a lot to him

He's always improving his craft by reading (he reads more than anyone I know) and applying what he's learned. We clashed a little when he started, but he turned into the single best hire I ever made. I owe a lot to him and his great ideas. He pushes me and everyone around him to be better. He's a self-starter who works great in a team and is extremely detail-oriented.

A writer who goes above and beyond

Chase understands how to put words on websites that align a client's branding and services with their customers needs. I would need Chase to help me develop copy to explain just how good he is at his craft. If you are ever looking for a writer who will go above and beyond in his research and his writing to serve you or your clients, I highly recommend speaking with Chase.

One of the smartest guys I know.

Chase is one of the smartest guys I know. His dedication and passion for his job is something I have always envied. He is always my go to person for an out of the box idea, or to have a situation looked at from another angle. He is extremely driven and is always nose deep in a book, yearning to learn more.

On a personal level, he is a blast to work with. I had the honor of working and sitting right beside him, and he made me laugh every day. He is a huge asset to his current company, and I will truly miss being able to work along side him
