Logan is a diligent and thorough information architect who digs into the details of business requirements and user preferences with equal zeal and determination to understand the whole story that needs to be told. He is creative and inventive in his search for the knowledge he needs to create user-centric designs that fully support business ROI.

Logan was a great team member to work with in the design of mobile products at AOL. His designs were effective and his documentation of them was very detail oriented. Though the key reason I’d be more than happy to work with Logan again was his very good communication style. Logan was very interactive in his designs; he communicated them well in writing, prototypes and in presentations. He gave great feedback, and was always willing and eager to get feedback.

Tony Patterson

System Architect, AOL Mobile

Logan played a key role developing user interactions and interfaces for a suite of mobile services. His diligence and best practices provided AOL users with out-of-box experiences that were both intuitive and sticky in use.

Ken Thomas

Principal Product Manager, AOL Mobile

Logan has always provided excellent UI design and improved usability with whatever task he was assigned. He is very thorough and looks for innovative ways to make it easy for users to accomplish a task, whether it's for a web site or software product interface. Logan stays current and looks for the best technical solution and business approach that will achieve results quickly and efficiently. I would definitely work with Logan again and value his ability to work independently when handed a business objective and goal.
