José worked as the lead ID on Nokia Retail, a large, ongoing project for a touch-screen application. José handled all the IA work for the project and solved all issues successfully, giving the team a solid foundation for the visual design and buid of the project. José has a great understanding of digital structure and is good at finding solutions at a detailed level - his work is consistent and of good quality. A valuable team-member who helped ensure that our project now has sound customer-focussed solutions."

Lill Skjerdal, Senior Producer R/GA

José is an absolute expert when in it comes to designing user experiences for mobile and interactive TV interfaces. He gets his head round use cases and scenarios very quickly and is very good with coming up with a variety of design solutions. His reasoning behind design solutions is always solid. José documentation is detailed, easy to understand and ready on time. I found José to be a hard-working, friendly and very reliable team member who keeps his calm in stressful situations and gets on well with others, both colleagues and stakeholders. His expert knowledge and uncomplicated manner earn him respect and loyality from everyone he works with. No question, José will always be on top of my list of people to phone when I'm hiring UX folks."

Claudia Urschbach, UX Product Lead Project Canvas

José is a serious, conscious and talented interaction designer. I went through quite a lot to bring him on board the team and would do so again in a heartbeat. Hire him, you won?t regret it."

Simon Tickner, Head of Interaction Design Skype

José is one of the brightest, and most hardworking interaction designers I have had the pleasure to work with. His passion for people ensures that he always approaches design problems in a genuinely user-centered, cross-platform and strategic way."

Michael Tiffany, Interaction Design Team Lead BBC

José has a brilliant understanding of multi-platform, scalable design, and he is wise enough to question user interactions accross these platforms. Importantly, he has the grace to accept comment and opinion, but also the strength to stand on his ground on an issue he feels strongly about. José is a joy to work with, always smilling and in a good spirit. He is a great team worker, very sociable and I hope to work with him again."
