"I have had the pleasure of working with Cory while a Producer at Groove11. As an expert in user experience design and information technology, he was an integral part of our team. Cory specifically researched our client's user needs, defined the interactions for complex business processes as well as designed the web interface for business software applications. On an interpersonal level, Cory is exceptionally collaborative. Moreover, he is professional and personable during client interactions and presentations."
Producer // Groove 11 - San Francisco
"I've actually worked with Cory twice, and I recommended him for the position at Amdocs. That alone says a lot for how much I believe in his skills as an interaction designer. Cory is truly an expert interaction design, and that's not a designation I apply lightly. What's more, Cory is also a good communicator. He ensures that his documentation is clear and thorough, leaving little room for doubt, and continuously updated according to ongoing discussions and negotiations with his teammates. He understands that visual communication is often the clearest means of expressing complex design decisions, and a good interaction designer must also function as diplomat, negotiator, communications hub, and documentarian of agreements across the entire development effort."
