What people I worked with are saying

Wouter de Bres

Founder & Product Designer at Bres Design

Jesper was my first hire when I joined Degreed as their VP product design. In these ~5 years that I have worked with him I have seen him grow from a talented UI/UX designer to a fully fledged, super dependable and experienced product designer comfortable in all stages of the design process. Jesper takes ownership with projects and and is simply wonderful to work with. He is able to find elegant design solutions for the hardest design problems. His perpetual optimism is a force multiplier in any team.

Having had the privilege of collaborating closely with Jesper for the second time, both at Degreed and later at BookClub, I can confidently attest to his exceptional skills as a UX designer. Despite the geographical barrier of different time zones, our seamless partnership allowed us to establish a rock-solid design system for BookClub. Jesper's innovative thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and profound understanding of user experience were evident in every project we tackled. His ability to translate ideas into intuitive designs added tremendous value to our team and left a lasting impact. Beyond his exceptional skills, Jesper's positive attitude and strong work ethic made him a true pleasure to work with, and I am excited to see the continued contributions he will undoubtedly make in the UX design field.
