Testimony:
”Even after working with you for a few years now, I'm still impressed with how quickly Jimmy can spin up visual explorations and comps. It provides a huge benefit to be able to see the ideas that we're discussing in the moment or shortly after. It helps to clarify things and ensure we're all on the same page. It also helps to reach a decision more quickly when there are multiple approaches. Along those lines, he often presents multiple options for people to choose from and provide us with your preference and the reasoning behind it…” - Sharon Schweizer, Principal Software Engineer
