Geoff Wong

Yusuke is a well rounded and talented designer. While collaborating with him in the same UX team, I’ve have seen him grow as a designer. He takes all feedback into consideration to iterate into a final design. He is a great team player as we had fun problem solving and finding optimal design solutions for mobile apps, reports and creating interaction/visual guidelines. He also very capable to work simultaneously with multiple cross-functional teams to produce designs and consult PM and developers. I would not hesitate to work with Yusuke again in the future.
