What people say about me

Nadeem Farah, VP of Product (Preparis)

Max has added tremendous value by creating differentiation by taking complex tasks for non-expert users and simplifying them into guided, easy-to-use workflows. He participates in the full product design lifecycle from interviews and ideation to post-delivery success metrics measurement and iterative refinement. He has leveraged his intuition for usability to help guide key design decisions for new product offerings that drive growth and redesigns of existing features to simplify and improve utilization.  

Max has also shown growth as a leader, setting up, recruiting for, and leading a UX research internship that has yielded acceleration for two key initiatives.

I recommend Max as a seasoned UX Lead to any product design organization.

George Carey, Product Owner (Preparis)

As the Product Owner of the Preparis platform, I had the privilege of working closely with Max, and I can confidently say he was a critical asset to our team. As our Senior Designer, Max played an essential role in evolving the platform’s user experience, ensuring that every design decision was grounded in customer feedback and business needs.  

One of Max’s greatest strengths is his ability to engage with customers, extract valuable insights, and turn those into high-impact enhancements. He is also highly collaborative with the development team, incorporating their feedback into high-quality mockups that balance user needs with technical feasibility.  

Beyond just improving UI elements, Max was instrumental in enhancing customer flows, making our product more intuitive and user-friendly. His work truly elevated the overall user experience, bringing the platform to the next level. Additionally, his ability to provide company-wide feedback on design ideas helped shape a more cohesive and forward-thinking approach to UX across teams.
